UB–E3/9, –E4/8 & –E4T OWNER'S MANUAL ABOUT YOUR NU–VU® EQUIPMENT
ABOUT YOUR NU–VU® EQUIPMENT
NU–VU® as a product line has been in existence for over twenty-one years. Its units are in use
throughout the United States and Canada and have been exported to other parts of the world. NU–
VU® continually modifies and updates its equipment to improve the capabilities as new
innovations become available. This enables the user to obtain better and more useful results. NU–
VU® currently manufactures an entire line of equipment in Menominee, Michigan. All of the
equipment is tested under anticipated operating conditions prior to shipment.
Any prospective customer is invited to try different food products in the newly completed test
kitchen in Menominee, Michigan. Seminars for both dealers and customers are available on-site at
the Menominee facility, at a dealer's showroom, or on the customer's premises.
NU–VU® OVENS, PROOFERS AND WARMERS:
NU–VU® can provide a wide range of equipment with any of the following features:
• Bakery Ovens with INTERNAL STEAM generating capabilities. These Ovens may be
equipped with COOK–N–HOLD capabilities for broader use.
• COOK–N–HOLD Ovens for either high temperature or low temperature operation with
moisture and smoking capabilities.
• Low temperature Ovens with smoking and supplemental moisture capabilities.
• Steamer Ovens with high and low temperature capabilities.
• Multi–Ovens that dry bake, steam, and/or bake with steam.
• Bakery Proofer/Warmers with separate temperature and humidity control systems in
either manual fill or automatic humidity systems.
• General purpose Proofer/Warmer units for reconstituting, slow cooking, holding,
steaming, and/or warming.
NU–VU® Food Service Systems offers the widest range and variety of equipment through the
varied use of heat, moisture, steam and smoke options. NU–VU® has, over a period of time,
developed a series of Ovens, Proofers, Steamers, Smokers and Warmers designed to provide
maximum performance with minimum energy requirements and care by the operator. This is
embodied in the V–AIR principle.
V–AIR IN OPERATION:
V–AIR stands for Versatile Air Movement equipment. NU–VU® has, in the V–AIR line,
combined quality construction, long life components, superior performance, multiple use operation
and amplified operating procedures to produce the finest equipment available. This means the end
user has the best of ALL worlds.
One of the previous problems of circulating air ovens was the inability to bake dough products
evenly without turning the pans or taking the pans out of the oven at different times. In the standard
convection oven the air is blown around randomly and thus the different shelves have different
conditions.
NU–VU® offers the V–AIR series of Ovens and Oven/Proofer combinations with a patented
positioned air flow system. This patented system enables the user to load the Oven completely with
pans having the same product, bake, and remove the entire load at the same time. This is possible
because the air is directed in at each shelf through holes in the sidewalls. Because each shelf
receives essentially the same air pattern the bake is uniform.

ABOUT YOUR NU–VU® EQUIPMENT UB–E3/9, –E4/8 & –E4T OWNER'S MANUAL
Since the air flow is in a directional pattern the baking times are reduced over conventional deck
and tray ovens. Actual baking times depend on the recipes used, baking temperature, proofing
conditions, dough quality and environmental conditions.
V–AIR principles can be applied to a wide range of equipment. For instance, it can be employed in
table-top, floor model and roll-in Oven or Oven/Proofer combinations. V–AIR is applicable for
both high and low temperature operations, and results in multiple uses for a single piece of
equipment:
• Proofing, warming, holding, cooking, reconstituting, steaming and smoking products at
lower temperatures of 250 or less.
• Cooking, baking, steaming and smoking products at temperatures up to 500 and then
automatically reducing the temperature to 160 or so for holding purposes.
• V–Air uses either fan movement of air, natural air current, or a combination of fan
movement and natural air current, depending upon the application.
• V–AIR is used in conjunction with added moisture where necessary for obtaining the best
possible food quality.
• V–AIR employs separate Temperature and Humidity Controls to produce most of the
ideal conditions required by different foods and processes.
A specific unit can be designed and produced according to the customer's needs to provide usage
for either a special need or a variety of functions.
The particular atmosphere employed depends upon the nature of the food products and the desired
end result. For instance, some food products may be immersed in moisture during the cooking cycle
and the addition of supplemental moisture may be unnecessary. Other food products may loose
moisture when cooked and would dry out without the addition of supplemental moisture. NU–VU®
utilizes separate Temperature and Humidity Controls in conjunction with the desired air movement
to supply the desired level of heat and moisture. When using both heat and moisture the
temperature in the unit's atmosphere results from the combination of the heat and moisture sources.
Because of the separate Temperature and Humidity Controls it is possible to have a number of
different conditions:
• Heat, moisture, natural air • Heat, moisture, fan air
• Heat, no moisture, natural air • Heat, no moisture, fan air
• Moisture, no heat, natural air • Moisture, no heat, fan air
By providing separate controls it is possible to obtain any of the preceding conditions. In addition,
based on normal heat and moisture conditions the use of STEAM and/or SMOKE options offer
other variations.
The choice of air movement is an important consideration because it affects the moisture content of
the food product. As a general rule food cooked at a lower temperature without fan air movement
will retain more moisture. The use of "still air" cooking is utilized to minimize shrinkage or drying
of the product. Thus, when fan air movement is used the addition of supplemental moisture in the
Oven atmosphere acts to compensate for the tendency of the product to loose moisture and dry out.
The use of forced air movement by fan accomplishes the following:
• Gives a broader use of the equipment.
• Speeds the food processing cycle.
• Provides uniform heating throughout the Oven cavity.

SHIPMENT:
NU–VU® equipment is usually shipped directly from the factory or delivered from a dealer, unless
sold at a show or after a test or demonstration. Unless otherwise agreed to by NU–VU® freight is
paid by the buyer F.O.B. the NU–VU® plant in Menominee, Michigan. Shipping time may vary
depending upon the original shipping point, time of year and shipper/shippers used.
NU–VU® works closely with all of its customers in tracing shipments to speed delivery and
minimize handling. NU–VU® employs the latest accepted packaging standards to ensure that your
equipment arrives in excellent condition. However, damage may still occur due to accident or
mishandling by the freight company. For this reason it is necessary for the receiving party to
immediately do a thorough inspection of the equipment when it arrives.
NU–VU® MODEL UB–E3/9, UB–E4/8 AND UB–E4T:
The NU–VU® UB–E3/9 and UB–E4/8 Oven/Proofers and the UB–E4T Oven are electrically
powered and generally do not require ventilation hoods. However, the ultimate decision as to hood
requirements rests with your local authorities. The Oven and Proofer compartments are constructed
of stainless steel inside and outside for minimum maintenance and maximum durability. The Oven
compartment of the UB–E3/9 can hold up to three (3) 18" x 26" full-size sheet pans while its
Proofer compartment can hold up to nine (9) 18" x 26" full-size sheet pans on the self-contained
stainless steel side racks. The UB–E4/8 Oven compartment can hold up to four (4) 18" x 26" fullsize sheet pans while its Proofer compartment can hold up to eight (8) 18" x 26" full-size sheet
pans. The UB–E4T Oven can hold up to four (4) 18" x 26" full-size sheet pans. All three units
measure 30" wide and 32" deep (34½" with the Door Latch). The UB–E3/9 stands 73¼" high
(including the Casters), while the UB–E4/8 measures 73¾" high. The UB–E4T measures 33½"
high (without the 6" Adjustable Appliance Legs). Each unit takes up less than seven square feet of floor or counter space!
NU–VU® has done operating cost comparisons with gas-fired convection ovens. This data was
generated in conjunction with input from Pacific Gas and Electric. Based on standard assumptions
as to operating conditions for each unit and costs supplied by Pacific Gas and Electric the NU–
VU® UB–E3/9, UB–E4/8 and UB–E4T Oven sections are directly comparable in operating costs
to gas convection ovens of the same size and capacity. Specific data can be supplied upon request.
The use of a reversible Motor/Blower Wheel as a standard feature on the UB–E3/9, UB–E4/8 and
UB–E4T provides various baking and slow cooking capabilities for all meats, fish, poultry, etc. In
addition the versatility of the UB–E3/9, UB–E4/8 or UB–E4T can be enhanced through the
following options:
• COOK–N–HOLD . . . The COOK–N–HOLD system utilizes dual Oven Temperature
Controls and a 24–Hour Timer to bake or cook your product at one temperature and then
automatically shift to a lower holding temperature.
• INTERNALLY GENERATED STEAM . . . This system injects a water mist into the
baking chamber where it is flashed into steam. This added steam will provide crusty
breads or rolls for product variations.
• AUTO–MIST . . . This Proofer option eliminates the manually-filled Water Pan in the
Proofer by injecting and distributing a fine water mist through-out the proofing chamber
to provide optimum levels of proofing humidity.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PROOFER:
A. Set out the desired product for thawing. Be sure to allow sufficient time in your schedule
for both the product and your equipment to reach the correct conditions.
B. Prepare the Proofer:
1. Turn the Proofer Power Switch ON at least 20 minutes prior to use.
2. Set the Proofer Temperature Control to the required setting.
3. FOR THE STANDARD PROOFER - a. Make sure the Water Pan contains no less than 2" of water. This should be
checked every time you load the Proofer and at least every other hour.
FOR THE AUTO–MIST PROOFER - -
a. Make sure the water supply to the Proofer is not interrupted or shut off. The
Injection Nozzle should spray a fine intermittent water mist into the Blower
Wheel when the Humidity Control Indicator Light lights up.
4. When your product is ready and JUST PRIOR TO LOADING PRODUCT INTO
THE PROOFER set the Humidity Control to the required setting.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS REDUCE THE HUMIDITY SETTING TO A MINIMAL
LEVEL WHEN RUNNING THE PROOFER WITHOUT PRODUCT INSIDE!!!
5. The Proofer is ready for use when the Temperature and Humidity Control Indicator
Lights go out and a light fogging appears on the glass of the Proofer Door.
C. Load the product. Center the pans front to back as much as possible to allow proper air
circulation over and around your product.
NOTE: The Indicator Lights will come on again as the Temperature and Humidity
Controls regulate the conditions in the Proofer. This is normal and may happen
several times during a proofing cycle.
D. Monitor the proofing process. Your Proofer is functioning properly if there is a slight
fogging on the Door. No fogging means your Proofer may be running too hot, too dry, or
both. Excessive fogging (with water running down the glass) means your Proofer may be
running too cold, too wet, or both. Check the product and adjust the Proofer Temperature
and Humidity Controls as necessary.
TIP: If water accumulates on the floor in front of your Proofer from drippings out of
the Proofer Door you are probably proofing with too much humidity. Decrease the
Humidity Control setting. If water on the floor is a constant problem for you please
call the NU–VU® Service Department at (906) 863-4401 for assistance.
E. Load the Oven when your product is fully proofed. Yeast products should be _ to ¾ of
the desired finished size at the end of the proof cycle. Generally speaking yeast products
should also be slightly tacky to the touch as they are loaded into the Oven.
F. When you are finished using the Proofer for the day the DAILY DRY–OUT
PROCEDURES must be performed (refer to the MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
GUIDE).

IMPORTANT: ALL OF THE PROOFER DRY–OUT PROCEDURES MUST BE
CARRIED OUT ON A DAILY BASIS!!!
STANDARD OVEN:
The UB–E3/9, UB–E4/8 and UB–E4T may be equipped with a Motor Reversing Switch. There are
three (3) positions for this Switch:
OFFTurns the Oven Motor OFF. You must set the Motor Reversing Switch to this
position FIRST and allow the Blower Wheel to come to a complete stop whenever
you switch the Motor/Blower Wheel from LO to HI, or from HI to LO.
HIMotor/Blower Wheel rotation is counter-clockwise, air velocity and delivery volume
are highest.
LOMotor/Blower Wheel rotation is clock-wise, air velocity and delivery volume are
reduced.
WARNING: NEVER CHANGE THE MOTOR REVERSING SWITCH FROM LO
TO HI, OR FROM HI TO LO, WHILE THE BLOWER WHEEL IS STILL
TURNING!!! DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE POWER SWITCH, OVEN
MOTOR OR MOTOR REVERSING SWITCH!!!
The Blower Wheel is designed to give different air velocities when the rotation direction is
changed. The HI setting will give the highest velocity and volume of heated air while the LO
setting will deliver less air at a lower velocity. Different air speeds may be employed for different
products. Generally speaking the HI setting will be used for dough products such as breads, rolls,
croissants, Danish, etc., while the LO setting may be used for cookies or delicate cakes (it is also
most useful in conjunction with the optional COOK–N–HOLD feature for these NU–VU® units).
Only you can determine the optimum air velocity for your desired end results.
IMPORTANT: THE MOTOR/BLOWER WHEEL MUST ALWAYS BE
RUNNING EXCEPT WHILE THE OVEN DOOR IS OPEN WHEN YOU ARE
LOADING OR UNLOADING YOUR PRODUCT!!!
NOTE: At the beginning of each day you may want to pre-heat your Oven
approximately 25 higher than the required baking temperature. Since your Oven
requires time to reach the proper operating temperature you should plan ahead so your
Oven and product are ready at the same time. When the desired temperature is reached
(approximately 15-20 minutes after start-up) the Oven Temperature Control Indicator
Light will go out. It is not necessary to reset to pre-heat temperature with each load
unless you are baking new items at a much higher temperature.
Follow these general instructions for proper baking results:
A. Determine the product to be baked.
B. Check the recommended temperature for the product to be baked and set your
Temperature Control accordingly.

C. Load your Oven from the top shelf down. If the top shelf is too high to be reached easily
an empty pan should be placed on the top shelf. Push the pans all the way to the rear of
the Oven until they rest against the ends of the Pan Slides. Keep the Oven Door
CLOSED unless loading or unloading to maintain Oven temperature and minimize
energy usage.
NOTE: It is helpful to slowly push the Oven Door closed until the Motor starts. Hold it
about 1" from the closed position for 1 or 2 seconds before latching it securely. This
short delay prevents the sudden build-up of internal pressure (as the Oven Motor starts
up) that may suddenly "pop" the Oven Door open.
IMPORTANT: If your product is 3½ inches or more in height every other shelf should be used
(in the UB–E3/9: the top and bottom shelves; in the UB–E4/8: the 2nd and 4th shelves
from the top). When baking on every other shelf the Sidewall Damper on each side of
the shelf above should be adjusted to close off the air holes on that shelf. Failure to do
this will cause the sides of the product to burn.
D. Set the 60–Minute Oven Timer for the estimated baking time less one to two minutes.
This will assure an indication from the Buzzer Alarm prior to the actual end of the
baking time and help prevent over-baking.
E. As soon as the product is finished open the Oven Door and remove the product quickly.
Immediately close the Oven Door to minimize temperature loss.
CAUTION: STAND AWAY FROM THE FRONT OF THE OVEN WHEN
OPENING THE OVEN DOOR AFTER A BAKING CYCLE TO AVOID
EXPOSURE TO ESCAPING HEAT AND STEAM!!!
F. You may bake several different items at the same time and temperature, but each
individual pan should have the same type of product on it and be panned in the same
manner.
G. Since your Oven may easily out-bake your Proofer several alternatives should be
considered:
1. Alternate non-proofed products with proofed products in the baking cycle (e.g.-
2. Provide additional proofing capacity with a separate NU–VU® Proofer.
3. Schedule baking over a longer period of time.
H. Whenever the baking is completed for the day, or for an extended period, the Oven
Temperature Control should be turned to the OFF position and the Oven Power Switch
set to OFF (see the DAILY DRY–OUT PROCEDURE in the MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING GUIDE).
IMPORTANT: THE OVEN AND PROOFER DRY–OUT PROCEDURES MUST
BE CARRIED OUT ON A DAILY BASIS!!!

COOK–N–HOLD Option - -
The COOK–N–HOLD option allows you to cook a product at one temperature and to hold that
product at a lower temperature.
There are two separate Temperature Controls and a 24-Hour Timer that must be set in order for
you to utilize the COOK–N–HOLD option features of your NU–VU® Oven. The Oven
Temperature Control must be set at the desired initial cooking temperature. The Hold Temperature
Control must be set at the temperature you wish the product to remain at.
IMPORTANT: YOUR NU–VU® OVEN IS WELL INSULATED AND WILL MAINTAIN
THE ORIGINAL COOK TEMPERATURE FOR ½ TO 1 HOUR DEPENDING ON THE
PRODUCT, PRODUCT DENSITY AND LOAD SIZE. THE TEMPERATURE WILL
NOT INSTANTLY DROP TO THE HOLD SETTING AT THE END OF THE TIMED
COOK CYCLE. PLAN YOUR COOK TEMPERATURE, COOK TIME AND HOLD
TEMPERATURE ACCORDINGLY!
Please follow these general guidelines for preparing meats, fish or fowl:
A. Set the Motor Reversing Switch to LO. Set the Oven Power Switch to ON.
B. Set the Cook Temperature Control to the desired cook temperature.
C. Set the 24–Hour Timer for the length of time you want your product to cook.
D. Set the Hold Temperature Control to the desired holding temperature.
E. At the expiration of the cooking time the Hold Temperature Control will automatically
take over and maintain your product at the set hold temperature. Remember, the internal
Oven temperature will not drop immediately to the hold temperature, but will slowly
decrease over a period of time until it matches the set hold temperature.
F. The product will be maintained at the set hold temperature until you remove it from the
Oven, change the setting on the Hold Temperature Control or turn the Oven OFF.
NOTE: If you desire to pre-heat your Oven before loading any product the 24–Hour
Timer must be set for enough time to pre-heat your unit to the desired temperature.
Load the product when the Oven is pre-heated and then reset the 24–Hour Timer to the
correct cook time.
INTERNAL STEAM Option - -
This option uses a manually-operated Steam Switch to activate the Water Solenoid Valve and
spray a fine water mist through the Water Injection Nozzle into the heated Oven chamber. This
water mist flashes into steam and is circulated through-out the Oven cavity by the Blower Wheel.
To operate the INTERNAL STEAM Option: A. Increase the setting on the Oven Temperature Control just enough so that the
Temperature Control Indicator Light comes on.
B. Press and hold down the spring-loaded Steam Switch to activate the injection system.
The Solenoid Water Valve will open allowing water to spray through the Injector Nozzle
and into the Oven chamber where it flashes into steam. The air in the Oven is saturated
when small water droplets appear on the Oven floor. Release the Steam Switch to stop
the water spray at any time.
C. Reset the Oven Temperature Control to the original temperature if necessary.
D. More steam injections can be used later in the baking cycle for breads and rolls as long
as the Temperature Control Indicator Light is illuminated.

CLEANING:
Your NU–VU® UB–E3/9 or UB–E4/8 Oven/Proofer or the UB–E4T Oven should be cleaned
daily or as soon as possible after a spill has occurred. It is essential to maintain a clean unit,
especially if the public views the unit in your place of business. The following general guidelines
should be used for cleaning:
PROOFER - -
• The Proofer Door glass may be cleaned with any good glass-cleaning formula. Be sure to
wipe down the Door Frame, and to clean behind the Door Gasket on the inside of the
Proofer Door. The Door can be removed for cleaning heavy soiling by opening the Door
until it is perpendicular to the face of the unit and then lifting the Door straight up off of
the Hinge pins. Dried-on debris or heavy soiling can be removed with hot soapy water
followed by a rinse with clean fresh water. Wipe the Door dry before replacing it on the
front of the Proofer.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE DOOR OR YOU
MAY SCRATCH THE GLASS!!!
• Remove the Proofer Element Cover. Wipe up any standing water in the bottom of the
Proofer and sweep up any solid particles of debris, being careful to keep them away from
the Drain in the floor of the Proofer.
• The Proofer interior (including the Door Jamb) and the Element Cover should be cleaned
on a regular basis (at least once a week) with mild soap and hot water followed by a
thorough rinse with clean fresh water and a sanitizing agent; wiping the interior dry will
help to prevent water spotting. Water spotting and other mineral deposits should be
removed with any mild mineral removal agent as soon as they are noticeable.
• The Proofer Drain can be cleaned with a small tubular or round brush and hot soapy
water, followed by a mild sanitizing agent. If you have drain plumbing attached to the
Proofer Drain you can flush the drain line with hot soapy water, followed by a sanitizer.
If you do not have any drain plumbing attached, remember to empty and clean the Drain
Pan in the support bracket under the Proofer. Replace the Drain Pan before using the
Proofer again.
• Replace the Proofer Element Cover. Leave the Proofer Door open by about 1" to 2"
while the Proofer is not in use.
OVEN - -
• The Oven Door glass may be cleaned with any good glass-cleaning formula. Be sure to
wipe down the Door Frame, and to clean behind the Door Gasket on the inside of the
Oven Door. The Door can be removed for cleaning heavy soiling by opening the Door
until it is perpendicular to the face of the unit and then lifting the Door straight up off of
the Hinge pins. Dried-on debris or heavy soiling can be removed with hot soapy water

3. To increase the temperature inside the Oven or Proofer carefully rotate the index
line on the clear dial clockwise. Each "click" of adjustment is equal to
approximately 5 of temperature change in the Oven and 2 of temperature change
in the Proofer. To decrease the inside temperature rotate the clear dial counterclockwise.
4. Gently tighten the dial screws and install the Knob. Check the Control setting
against the test instrument and repeat this procedure if necessary.
D. If this procedure fails to bring the temperature reading within the desired specs try
replacing the Temperature Control Sensor. If the temperature is still too far off replace
the Temperature Control Circuit Board.
STANDARD DOOR LATCH, How To Adjust:
Determine if the Oven Door [41] or Proofer Door [42] is fitting too loose (it will leak steam
and hot air past the Gasket) or too tight (it will not close properly, or will "pop" open
unexpectedly). If it is too loose the Door Latch [44] must be adjusted OUT (away from the
unit); if it is too tight the Door Latch must be adjusted IN (towards the unit). Please proceed
as follows:
A. Loosen the two acorn nuts inside the Latch Cover [45] with a small box wrench. Pull the
Latch Cover straight out from the Door to remove it and then remove the acorn nuts.
B. Open the Door and take careful notice of the adjustment plate position against the body
of the Door Latch.
C. Hold the adjustment plate against the body of the Door Latch with one hand while you
loosen the mounting screws with the other hand. Back the screws out approximately three
full turns.
D. CAREFULLY move the Door Latch body IN or OUT under the adjustment plate one
notch at a time. Make sure the Door Latch stays straight up and down and tighten the
mounting screws. Test the Door for proper closing and sealing (refer to the DOOR TEST PROCEDURE outlined on page 61).
E. Repeat steps "C" and "D" if you are not satisfied with the Door adjustment. If the Door
tests as satisfactory make sure the mounting screws are tightened securely.
F. Install the acorn nuts on the ends of the top and bottom Door Latch screws. Turn the nuts
on all the way until they just contact the back side of the latch bracket, then loosen them
by 1½ to 2 full turns. Install the Latch Cover and tighten the acorn nuts lightly to hold
the Latch Cover in place.
STEAM OPTION DOOR LATCH, How To Adjust:
Determine if the Oven Door or Proofer Door is fitting too loose (it will leak steam and/or hot
air past the Door Gasket) or too tight (it will not close properly, or will "pop" open
unexpectedly). If it is too loose the Strike Hook on the Catch Plate must be adjusted IN
(towards the unit). If it is too tight the Strike Hook must be adjusted OUT (away from the
unit). Please proceed as follows:
A. Open the Door and take careful notice of the Strike Hook position on the top of the Door
Latch Catch Plate (refer to Illustration #26 above).
B. Hold the Strike Hook in position while you loosen the retaining screw with a phillips
screwdriver. Back the screw out approximately 1½ to 2 turns.

C. CAREFULLY move the Strike Hook IN or OUT on top of the Catch Plate body one
notch at a time and tighten the retaining screw. Test the Door for proper closing and
sealing (refer to the DOOR TEST PROCEDURE). Proper Catch Plate and Latch
adjustment will leave the Latch Hook fully engaged over the top of the Strike Hook, with
approximately 1/16" of space between the top of the Strike Hook base and the end of the
Latch Hook. Raise or lower the Catch Plate body if necessary.
D. Repeat steps "C" and "D" if you are not satisfied with the Door adjustment. If the Door
tests as satisfactory make sure all mounting and retaining screws are tightened securely.
NOTE: If you have adjusted the Strike Hook IN as far as it will go and the Door is still
loose, your Door Gasket [46] has probably been compressed and has lost its resiliency
and should be replaced.
DOOR TEST PROCEDURE:
A. Cut one or two strips of paper approximately 1" wide and 8" to 10" long.
B. Open the Door slightly, insert a strip of paper between the Gasket and Jamb and close
the Door.
C. Slowly pull the paper strip out. You should feel some resistance as you pull the strip
from between the Gasket and Jamb of a properly adjusted Door. Test the fit at regular 2"
to 3" intervals around the entire Door.
D. If you feel NO resistance at a particular spot the Door is too loose, you have found a
weak or damaged spot in the Door Gasket or the Jamb has been bent in.
E. If you feel HEAVY resistance at a particular spot the Door is too tight or the Jamb has
been bent out.
HINGES, How To Adjust:
Hinges on flush-mount Doors are preset at the factory and should not need adjustment.
However, if you experience any problems with Door operation please call the NU–VU®
Service Department for assistance at (906) 863-4401.
DOOR GASKET, How to Replace:
Follow these instructions to correctly install your Door Gasket [46] with minimal problems.
Use the installation kit provided. If you have any problems or questions call NU–VU® at
(906) 863-4401 and ask for the Service Department.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE ACTUAL DOOR FRAME WHEN
REPLACING OR REPAIRING THE DOOR GASKET!!!
A. Remove all pieces of the old Gasket.
Thoroughly clean the Door frame in the
area of the new installation. Remove the
old sealant and any baked-on deposits.
B. Pre-cut the replacement Gasket to a size
slightly longer than you require.
C. Put a small amount of soap water into and
around the slot that the new Gasket will fit
into (a small trigger spray bottle works
well). This step is optional but will help in

the installation.
D. Position the new Gasket over the slot, allowing the ends to extend past the end of the slot.
Press the mounting flange down into the slot on the Door frame. Use a roller tool to force
the mounting flange into the slot by working the tool back and forth along the Gasket.
Make sure the Gasket mounting flange is completely fitted into the slot and that the
Gasket is free to slide back and forth in the slot.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT STRETCH OR PULL ON THE GASKET DURING
THE INSTALLATION PROCESS. THIS WILL LATER CAUSE THE TRIMMED
CORNERS TO SEPARATE AND PULL APART!!!
E. Use a sharp knife or a single-edged razor blade to cut the ends of the Gasket at a 45
angle (you can use the mitered corner joint on the Door as an angle guide). Cut the
Gasket about ¼" longer than the required length and work the excess back into the slot.
This extra Gasket will help to create a nice tight corner joint, and allows for any followup trimming that may be necessary.
F. Work your way around the entire Door (or the section of the Door having the Gasket
replaced). Make sure the Gasket is just tight into the corners. A bulging joint or pucker
along the Gasket indicates a Gasket section that is cut too long. Joints that pull apart
indicate a Gasket section (or sections) that is cut too short.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THAT THE GASKET AND DOOR FRAME ARE
COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY BEFORE APPLYING ANY SEALANT!!!
G. Seal the corner joints after the entire Gasket is properly fitted. Pull the joints apart only
enough to put sealant on all the cut edges only. Allow the Gasket joint to come together.
Smooth out any excess sealant to form a smooth surface on the face of the Gasket. Add
more sealant to any spots as necessary and smooth them down.
H. A quality sealant will be dry to the touch and tack-free in one to two hours after
application. However, it will not be completely cured until six to eight hours later. We
recommend that you wait until after your sealant is completely cured before using your
Oven.
WARNING: SOME SEALANTS GIVE OFF ACIDIC FUMES AS THEY CURE.
THESE FUMES MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE EYES AND/OR NASAL
PASSAGES. USE CAUTION WHEN OPENING YOUR UNIT AFTER WAITING
FOR ANY FRESH SEALANT TO SET UP AND CURE!!!
