Door Gasket Installation Instructions:

Remove the old door gasket. Clean the gasket channel in the door and chamber face. The door gasket has a slight taper. The wider side should be inserted into the door first. Although not absolutely necessary, it may help to lubricate the gasket with soapy water before inserting into the gasket channel.

Install the gasket using the “North-South-East-West” method. Push it into the channel first at the North position (top), then the South (bottom), then East (right), then West (left). Then fill in everything in between. Make sure that the gasket is flush without any bumps or gaps. Not using this method can result in the gasket being stretched to the point where there is excess that will not fit into the channel.
