Loading Door Glass and Door Gasket:
The door glass in held in place by the door
gasket. On the larger MFS models the glass
may be held in place with the door gasket,
clamps on the inside and retainer ring on the

On the smaller MFS model machines the
door gasket is held in place in the door rim
by tension. It is forced over the lip of the

pressure against the shell front opening lip.
