Reversing The Lid Gasket - Henny Penny PFG-691 Technical Manual

2-11. REVERSING THE LID
GASKET
Sept. 2004
The gray rubber gasket surrounding the inside of the lid is
designed to be reversed.
Because of heat expansion and the pressure used for the cook-
ing process, the gasket is constantly under extreme stress.
Reversing the lid gasket will help to ensure that the fryer will
not lose pressure through leakage.
1. Put the lid in the upright position, as previously described.
2. Using a thin blade screwdriver, pry out the gasket at the
corners. Remove the gasket.
Check the gasket for any tears or nicks. If the gasket is
damaged, it needs to be replaced.
Be sure the metal arm on the left side of the lid is in
the vertical position holding the lid upright, or severe
injuries could result. (See photo in Tilting the Lid Up-
right Section.)
3. Clean the gasket and gasket seat with hot water.
4. Rotate the gasket with the opposite side facing out.
Install the fourcorners of the lid gasket. Smooth the gasket
into place, working from the corners towards the middle of
each side.
