DOOR ADJUSTMENT

The Door Adjustment is Located in the Fulcrum
Casting at the base of the door opening. This
adjustment employs the use of a screw and
locknut In order to adjust the Sterilmatic Door to
a tighter closed position (to prevent steam from
leaking by the door gasket as pressure builds
up), it is necessary to loosen the locknut and
back off the screw at least one-quarter of a turn
and re- tighten the locknut.

THE DOOR GASKET

Keep the gasket clean. With normal closing and
locking of the door assembly, a steam-tight seal
should be made

.........................................STERILMATIC DOOR ASSEMBLY

The Door of the Sterilmatic has been engineered to establish a positive method of sealing the steam
pressure within the sterilizing cylinder. As steam pressure builds up within the cylinder, the door seal will
tend to become more positive.

However, the door should be adjusted to make a good initial seal between the door gasket and the door
opening without the added assistance of internal cylinder steam pressure with the simple action of
securing the door handle down in a locked position, the door gasket should be sufficiently compressed
against the door opening, all the way around to prevent any steam leakage from occurring.

between the door gasket and the door opening. This seal cannot be maintained if particles of foreign
matter are allowed to accumulate upon either of the contacting surfaces.

If there is leakage by the door gasket before a steam build-up within the cooking chamber causes it to
stop, regard the door assembly as improperly adjusted. A re-adjustment must then be made of the door
screw.

To change the door gasket, remove the entire door assembly as a unit. Discard the old gasket, replace it
with a new one (no cement is required), and reinstall the door assembly.

Make an operational check for leakage and adjust the door, if necessary.

DOOR LIFT SPRING

Market Forge supplies door lift springs in sets only. This policy has been found to be in the best interest of
the customer. Through continuous use, some of the original qualities of the springs are lost and it
becomes advantageous to make replacements to both the left and right door lift springs in the event that
one becomes damaged or broken.

Replacement door lift springs are marked with tabs at the factory prior to shipment to identify a right from a
left spring. These springs must be installed with the right door lift spring on the right of the door and the
left door lift spring on the left of the door as viewed from the front of the sterilizer.

TO REMOVE THE DOOR ASSEMBLY

The Door Assembly can be removed from the inner sterilizing chamber as a unit without the use of any
special tools or equipment. However, a systematic approach to this is warranted as the clearances
through the portal are close, and much confusion can result if not removed in the sequence described
below:

1. First, lift off and remove the two pan supports to expose the door linkage on either side of the inner
sterilizing chamber .

2. Raise the door to a fully opened position, and disengage the door spring from each of the door spring
studs. Accomplish this by counteracting the force of the door lift spring with one hand while working the
end of the door spring off the spring stud with the free hand. Do this on both sides of the door assembly.

3. When the end of the door springs have been completely freed from their respective door spring studs,
the door springs on either side of the door assembly can easily be slipped off their studs.

4. Rotate the entire door assembly out through the door opening, passing the door handle through the
opening first, and then one end of the door spring as shown in the illustration. The remainder of the door
assembly will then pass through the door opening quite easily.

5. To replace the door assembly, reverse the step-by-step procedure described above.
