IX. o - REPLACING DOOR GASKETS:
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER
TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT/TAGOUT
PROCEDURES.
NOTE: Before attempting to install a new gasket, both
the unit and the gasket itself should remain at room
temperature for at least 48 hours (especially in a low
temperature area).
1. To begin removing the gasket to be replaced,
grasp it firmly by one corner and pull it out.
2. Insert the new gasket by the four corners first by
using a rubber mallet (or hammer with a block of
wood).
3. After the corners are properly inserted, work
your way towards the center from both ends by
gently hitting with a mallet until the gasket is
completely seated in place (see below diagram for
proper gasket placement).
NOTE: The gasket may appear too large, but if it is
installed as indicated above it will slip into place.
