7.5 Door adjustment
On normal circumstance the chamber door does not require adjustments.
However, if the seal fails (resulting in steam leaking from the front of
the chamber), you may use the included tool to tighten the door seal.
7.5.1 Open the door
7.5.2 Insert the spanner tool in the gap beneath the plastic cover; use the spanner
to grip the adjusting nut (Fig 1). Turn the nut counter clockwise as
the figure below (Fig 2). This will tighten the sealing plate.
7.5.3 Turn the nut until the sealing plate is tight. If the door knob is too tight,
you may also turn the nut clockwise to loosen it.
