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.
