In day-to-day use, wait 10 to 30 seconds and the pressure will usually equalise enough to reopen normally.

In day-to-day use, wait 10 to 30 seconds and the pressure will usually equalise enough to reopen normally.

If you’ve just loaded warm product, held the door open for a while, or opened it repeatedly during service, it can take up to 1 to 2 minutes.

If it still will not reopen after a couple of minutes, avoid forcing it. Check that the door fully closed on the gasket (no packaging trapped), the cabinet is level, and the gasket is clean and making even contact all the way around.
