Problem Title:
Tuttnauer E/EA/EK/EAK Door Problem
Problem Description:
Door is leaking steam from the door gasket
Reasons
1. Either door is not tight or the gasket is cracked

Solutions

1. The Door should be tightened until the Closing Device feels very snug, regardless of when the Door Light comes on.

If the Door Gasket is cracked or worn replace it

Do not over tighten the door. Over tightening will deform the Door Gasket, which can lead to leaking and premature wear of the Door Gasket.

Try to put the gasket reverse to confirm that problem is from the door gasket
