Damaged door gaskets may be replaced using the door gasket kit which includes a roll
of gasket material. The ideal installation temperature for the adhesive used on the
replacement gaskets is between 60 and 100 ºF (16 and 38 ºC). Installation is not
recommended if the temperature is below 50 ºF (10 ºC). Remove any damaged
sections of gasket material from the door. If necessary, use a citrus based adhesive
cleaner to remove any adhesive that may stay attached to the door. Cut replacement
lengths of gasket material from the roll as needed. Remove the paper backing to

Warning: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters or
connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be
used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating adapter or optical connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector.
