    Compare your measured door delay time to the intended setting. If they match, the door delay is working as configured and only needs reprogramming if the desired time is different.

    Stop conditions
    • If the door fails to close at all after the delay period, immediately disable the machine for customer use and secure the door manually; this requires a qualified technician.
    • If you notice a burning smell or unusual sound from the door area, unplug the machine immediately and do not use it; this requires a qualified technician.
