Inspecting the Lid Cam Guide Fillers

Some locations may choose to do this procedure on a more frequent basis (i.e., quarterly, semi-annually, or other frequency).

Burn Risk To avoid severe burns: The lid handle must be fully latched prior to starting a cook cycle. Do not lift the handle until pressure gauge reads 0 PSI. Do not operate unit without all lid components installed and lid cover in place. Do not tamper with any component of the lid’s locking mechanism.

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the power switch to OFF and disconnect power.

Only perform this procedure when the unit is cool or severe burns may result.

Inspect the cam slide fillers on the sides of the lid cover. If either side is damaged or missing, replace with new cam slide fillers. Why is this important? The cam slide fillers help minimize the amount of grease laden vapor, breading, dust and debris that can accumulate on the components under the lid cover.

1. Remove old left and right cam slide fillers if necessary by pulling the remaining pieces out of its channel and discarding.

2. Install the new left and right cam slide fillers by flexing open the slot in the circular opening.

3. Fit the new cam slide filler around the circular handle cam, ensuring the edge of the filler is inserted into the channel.

4. Reinstall the lid cover, ensure the cam slide fillers are completely seated on the inside of the cover.

5. Test that the handle slides forward and backwards with little resistance. Stoppage or resistance usually indicates an obstruction present in the channel, or that the slide is not seated properly.

6. Continue to the next inspection or reinstall components as applicable.
