DOOR SEAL
The drawing shows a view of the magnetic
door seal used on all models mentioned in
this manual. The magnetic strips are at-
tracted to the metal cabinet front, provid-
ing an excellent seal around the entire door.
A visual inspection of the door seal while
opening and closing will reveal any areas
of poor seal. You will notice a slight expan-
sion and compression of the seal bellows
as the door is opened and closed.

TOE-IN & TOE-OUT ADJUSTMENTS
To seal evenly around the entire door, the
seal must make contact at the top and bot-
tom at the same time. For this reason, the
door, when ajar, should not toe-in or toe-out.
To correct a toe-in or toe-out condition, first
check that the hinge-side of the door is par-
allel with the cabinet then proceed as
follows:
1. Check the cabinet levelers and adjust-
able wheels. Raising the handle side
may correct a toe-out; lowering may
correct a toe-in.
2. Loosen all inner panel mounting
screws along the top, bottom and
handle side of the door. Do not loosen
the screws along the hinge side.
3. Hold the corner that toes-in stationary,
and push in on the toe-out corner until
the door is lined parallel with the
cabinet.
4. Open and close the door several times
to ensure a proper fit. If necessary, re-
peat steps 2 and 3.
5. Tighten all loosened screws.
HINGE ADJUSTMENTS
Hinge adjustments are necessary when:
1. The seal is not sealed sufficiently along
the hinge side of the door.
2. The seal is compressed more than 1/
16" on the hinge side (causing a poor
seal elsewhere around the top.)
3. The distance between the door and
cabinet is greater at the top than it is at
the bottom, or vice versa.
4. The hinge side of the door is not 1/16"
out past the side of the cabinet when
(measured from the side of the cabi-
net), or when the door panel top is not
7/64" above the cabinet top.
5. If one or more of these conditions ex-
ist, adjust one or both hinges to correct
the trouble. Raising the hinge side may
correct a door sag.
