CONTROL PANEL ELECTRICAL SERVICE ACCESS: The control panel assembly is mounted on the front of the unit. It houses all of the controls and indicators which are used to operate the Steam-Tech. In order to service any of the control panel electrical components, the control panel assembly must be removed from the

front of the unit.

CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect the power supply from the unit before servicing any electrical components.

Procedure:

1.Remove the 6 screws that fasten the control panel assembly onto the front of the unit.

2.Gently move the control panel assembly out away from the unit.

NOTE: A ground strap acting as a restrain prevents the control panel from putting unnecessary strain on wires and connections.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT:

The cooking compartment door alignment, door handle tension and latch tension are pre-adjusted at the factory during assembly. During normal usage, these should not need any attention. Note that when the cooking compartment doors are reversed, as described in the service connections section on page 2 of this manual, the doors will need to be aligned and the door latch ten- sion will need to be adjusted (the door handle will not need adjustment when the door is reversed).
