VPX SERIES STEAMER - SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
F25111 (March 2002)
Page 12 of 20
To adjust
:
1. Reinstall the striker with the slot pointing
upwards and "hand tighten" nut only.
2. Close the door to center the striker in the oval
mounting hole.
3. Open the door and check the strikers’ slot for
horizontal alignment. The slot on the striker
must be kept horizontal in order for the door
latch to catch it properly and latch.
4. Once the proper slot alignment has been set,
hold the striker close to its base using a rag and
vise grips, then tighten the striker nut. Be
careful not to damage the striker "slot" when
tightening or door may not latch properly.
NOTE:
Do not over tighten as the striker will begin
to turn and change alignment.
DOOR SEALING ADJUSTMENT
On initial installation of new door gaskets, the door
will be hard to close. This is required for proper
gasket fit. As the door is used, it becomes easier to
close after a few days.
1. Check the door gasket quality. If damaged or
worn, replace as outlined under "DOOR".
2. Loosen screws until the screw heads no longer
touch the gasket plate.
3. Tighten screws until screw head touches gasket
plate and at that point begin counting turns.
4. Tighten all screws approximately two turns.
5. Close the door and check unit for proper
operation.
6. If necessary, tighten all screws an additional ½
turn and repeat step 5.
7. Repeat step 6 until the door closes properly and
no steam "leaks" are seen around the gasket
seal.
HEATING ELEMENT TEST
WARNING:
THE FOLLOWING STEPS REQUIRE
POWER TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNIT DURING
THE TEST. USE EXTREME CAUTION AT ALL
TIMES.
1. Turn cooking mode switch to "continuous".
2. Measure voltage at heating element terminals
and verify it against data plate voltage.
A. If voltage is incorrect
, find the source of the
problem.
B. If voltage is correct
, check current draw
(amps) through the heating element lead
wires.
NOTE:
This method is preferred over a
resistance check when a clamp on type amp
meter is available.
1) If current draw is correct then heating
element is functioning properly.
See
table below for proper values.
2) If current draw is not
correct, turn
cooking mode switch to OFF and
disconnect the electrical supply.
a. Replace heating element then
proceed to step 3.
C. If unable to check current draw, a
resistance check may
indicate a
malfunctioning element.
1) Turn the cooking mode switch to OFF
and
disconnect the electrical supply.
2) Remove the lead wires from the heating
element and check resistance (ohms).
See table below for proper values.
3. Check for proper operation.
