NOTICE:
The hinge bolts must by all means
remain inserted completely in the
latch and in the hinge yoke of the
pressure locking bar (left side).
The bolt must be flush as shown.
7.7 Caring for the door and door-lock components __________________________
In order to prevent premature wear, the threaded spindle of the palm grip hand knob, as well as the hinges of
the latch yoke and the door locking beam, must always be kept well greased. We recommend plain-bearing
grease (art. no. 24355), silicone grease, or Molykote.
The following drawings indicate trouble that may occur and that may be the result of excessive wear on the
door locking system. If any of these difficulties occur, inspection will be necessary by a MELAG Customer
Service representative, or by an authorized technician from a stockist.
• Excessive play in the hinge of the
latch yoke
•
Excessive play in the
threaded spindle of the
palm grip hand knob
(rattling of the spindle in
the latch)
•
Definite difficulty in
turning the threaded
spindle
•
Excessive play in the hinge
of the pressure locking beam
(the door “hangs”)
If this bolt moves up or downward and is no longer
flush with the yoke (as shown in proper position in
left drawing), do not use the steam sterilizer. It must
be repaired by technical customer service
personnel.
•
Hard-metal screw-thread insert has
been screwed out of the latch.
