removed, cleaned thoroughly in warm soapy water and
shaken dry. Wiping with a lint-free cloth is acceptable
(Other materials may lead to contamination of the gasket
with fibres).
The door gasket plate must also be cleaned.
If the leak persists you should obtain and fit a new gasket.
To remove the gasket, undo the two thumb-nuts (309070)
in the centre of the gasket plate.
Remove the plate/gasket assembly and then remove the
gasket from the plate.
CAUTION: Ensure the gasket is located the right way
around on the plate, the lip should face outwards.
During re-assembly, place new black sealing
washers (supplied with the gasket) in the machined
recesses in the door casting.
Ensure that the entry port plug aligns with the hole in the
cast lid.
Prior to tightening the two thumb-nuts ensure that the
gasket is correctly seated on the gasket plate and in the
door recess.
