VPX SERIES STEAMER - SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
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.
