OM-HY/6E 13
Maintenance
HY-6E Steamers are designed for minimum maintenance, and no user adjustments
should be necessary. Certain parts may need replacement after prolonged use. If
there is a need for service, only Groen personnel or authorized Groen representatives
should perform the work. Always supply water with a low mineral count that meets the
standards outlined in the Water Conditioning section of this manual.
If steam or condensate is seen leaking from around the door, take the following steps:
1. Check the door gasket. Replace if it is cracked or split.
2. Inspect the cooking chamber drain to be sure it is not blocked.
3. Adjust the latch pin to allow for changes that might occur as the gasket ages.
a.
Loosen the lock nut at the base of the latch pin. Turn the latch pin ¼ turn
clockwise, and re-tighten the lock nut.
b. After adjustment, run the unit to test for further steam leakage.
c. If there is still leakage, repeat the adjustment.
d. Continue adjusting the pin clockwise until the door fits tightly enough to
prevent leakage.
NOTE
THE UNIT CONTAINS NO FUSES THAT SHOULD
BE REPLACED BY THE OPERATOR.
