Cleaning Procedure

After each period of daily operation (more frequently as required to maintain cleanliness), the cooker

mounting studs. Wash with a mild detergent. Rinse and set aside for reassembly.
2. Wash cooking compartment interior using a mild detergent and water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
3. Replace pan supports, baffles, and drain screens in compartment and leave door open.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT

The Illustrated Parts List section of this manual contains a listing of all replacement parts and associated
exploded views of the ST-24 cooker. In most cases, disassembly procedures will be obvious from the
exploded views. Instructions follow for the procedures that are not readily apparent.

DOOR LATCH TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Procedure:
1. Open the cooking compartment door.
2. Remove the control panel by removing the eight mounting screws and disconnecting the wire
plug and restraining wire.
3. Tighten both nuts down until the springs are fully compressed.

Door Handle Tension Adjustment

Procedure:
1. Open the cooking compartment door.
2. Remove the six screws and washers from the top edge and bottom edge of the door.

but subject to wear during normal operation. Should the gasket leak, readjust the door gasket to the
unit or replace it.

1. Open the cooking compartment door.
2. Remove the six screws on the outside of the door, and remove the inner door assembly.
3. Remove the eight nuts from the door gasket mounting plate on the inside of the inner door
assembly.
