ADJUSTMENT OF DOOR SEAL THRUST
MACHINES 6kg / 13lb, 7kg / 16lb, 10kg / 22lb
If there is a water leakage around the door it is necessary to find out if the problem has been caused due to the door shift out of its position or if the door seal thrust should be adjusted. In some cases the door seal has to be replaced. (fig. 5.2.A).
1.For increasing (decreasing) the pressure of the door seal, take off spacers (pos.1) (add spacers) between the door frame and the hinge blocks. Therefore remove the screws (pos.4) on the door frame. Tighten the screws again after positioning the spacers.
2.The adjustments of the door seal pressure must be executed as follows. The door rubber (pos.2) must still touch the tub rubber at the hinge side when the door opens at 5°.
3.Adjust the position of the door by loosening the screws (pos.4) on the door frame. The door hook must be right in the center of the door lock opening. Tighten the screws (pos.4) again after correct positioning of the door.
