10.2. Shroud Gasket
The shroud gasket creates a seal between the
heater shroud and ceramic plate. Over time, this
gasket will require replacement.
Check the shroud gasket (AZI P/N 300-0446)
regularly for cracks or deterioration.
Perform a Kimwipe test to verify the seal’s
integrity. (See Kimwipe test below.)
If Kimwipe pulls out easily, then either the shroud
gasket or insulator seal will need replacement.
(See Insulator Seal, Section 10.3 below, for more
information)
If replacement is needed, contact AZI customer
service at 800-528-7411, 602-470-1414, or by
e-mail at support@azic.com for further details
and information.
Kimwipe Test:
Place a Kimwipe, single thickness, on the ceramic insulator plate at the 3 o’clock
position.
Close lid.
Attempt to pull Kimwipe out from between the gasket and plate, being careful not
to rip the Kimwipe.
Repeat at the 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions.
o If it removes easily, then either the shroud gasket or insulator seal--or
both--need to be replaced.
o If it does not pull out, then the shroud gasket and insulator seal are o.k.
10.3. Insulator Seal
Beneath the ceramic insulator plate is an insulator
seal that should be checked for compression. The
above Kimwipe test should be performed. If the
Kimwipe is removed easily, then the insulator seal
needs to be replaced. To replace:
Switch the main power switch OFF.
Remove the pan support stem and ceramic
insulator plate.
Replace the worn seal (AZI P/N 250-0001).
Reassemble.
