Replacement Procedures
Service Manual
Doors
Depending on the model, the chiller will be fitted with one or two doors.
Alignment
This can be achieved by releasing the bottom hinge bracket which is
provided with slots allowing alignment adjustment, enabling the bottom of
the door to be moved sideways.
Gasket
Replacement
The door gaskets clip into the door gasket retainer extrusion and may be
removed for repair or replacement. To remove the gasket, start at a corner
and peel from the door frame (see Figure 1 below).
New gaskets, when fitted, may be lightly lubricated with a clear silicone
grease or similar compound. This will lessen the possibility of the gasket
rolling. Should the gasket be out of shape when in place, use hot air (i.e.
from hair drier) to realign.
Door Tension
The glass door has an internal torsion bar, pretensioned at the factory, which
enables the door to self-close. If necessary, door tension can be further
adjusted by rotating the capstan mounted in the bottom hinge bracket.

1. Disconnect the chiller from the power supply.
2. Slowly release tension on the
capstan by turning the capstan with
a Ø2.5mm steel rod and removing
the split pin.
3. With the aid of another Ø2.5mm
steel rod, increase the tension by
turning the capstan in the direction
the door closes.
4. Once adequate tension has been
achieved, re-insert the split pin
through the hole in the hinge
bracket to lock in position.
5. To check door tension, hold the door open approximately 100mm and let go
of the door. The door should gently close, with the door gasket forming an air
tight seal with the cabinet.
