SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
CERTAIN PROCEDURES IN THIS SECTION REQUIRE ELECTRICAL TEST OR
MEASUREMENTS WHILE POWER IS APPLIED TO THE MACHINE. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION AT ALL
TIMES. IF TEST POINTS ARE NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE, DISCONNECT POWER, ATTACH TEST
EQUIPMENT AND REAPPLY POWER TO TEST.
DOOR LATCH
ADJUSTMENT
Should the steamer door "jam" and can not be
opened,
DO NOT FORCE OR PRY
the door as
damage will occur.
First, try lifting up on the bottom of the door at the
handle end, to disengage the latch.
If that does not work, remove the right side panel.
The striker that catches on the "door latch" is
located behind the front face of the cooking cavity.
Remove the nut from the striker and this will release
it from the panel.
Once the nut and washer have been removed, door
will open freely.
Remove any burrs on the striker that may cause the
latch to stick.
Reinstall the striker and adjust, so door will not jam.
