6.1 General

This section contains both preventive and corrective
maintenance information. Preventive maintenance may be
performed by maintenance personnel at the establishment
in which the cooker is installed. It is recommended that
user personnel never attempt to make repairs or
replacements to the equipment without the assistance of
authorized service. Assistance in service methods or a
current Directory of Authorized Agencies may be obtained
from Market Forge (see Subsection 1.3).

6.2 Preventive Maintenance

A good preventive maintenance program begins with the
daily cleaning procedure described in Subsection 3.3.
Additional preventive maintenance operations are
presented in this section. In establishments that employ
full-time maintenance personnel, the tasks described can
be assigned to them. For other installations, tasks
requiring mechanical or electrical experience should be
performed by an authorized service agency.
The following paragraphs set forth minimum preventive
maintenance procedures that must be completed
periodically to assure continued trouble-free operation of
the cooker.
Under no circumstances should hardware (or parts) be
replaced with a different length, size, or type other than as
specified in the parts list. The hardware used in the cooker
has been selected or designed specifically for its
application, and the use of other hardware may damage
the equipment and will void any warranty.

6.2.1 Cooking Compartment Cleaning

A daily cleaning of the cooking compartment and pan
supports is required. See Subsection 3.3 for details.
6.3 Repair & Replacement
Section 7 of this manual contains a listing of all
replaceable parts and associated exploded views of the
ST-12 Cooker. In most cases, disassembly procedures will
be obvious from the exploded views. Instructions follow for
procedures that are not readily apparent.

gasket leak, readjust the door gasket to the unit or replace
it.

2. Remove the six screws on the outside of the door, and
remove the inner door assembly.
