REGULAR MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
For efficient operation, it is important that the condenser surface be kept free of dust, dirt, and lint.
Condensers accumulate dirt and require cleaning every 30 days. If you keep the condenser clean, you will minimize your service expense and lower your electrical costs.
A dirty Condenser can result in NON-WARRANTEED part & compressor failures, product loss, and lost Sales. The Condenser looks like a group of vertical fins. You need to be able to see through the condenser for the unit to function at maximum capacity. Do not place filter material in front of condensing coil. This material blocks air-flow to the coil similar to having a dirty coil.
HOW TO CLEAN THE CONDENSER:
1. Disconnect the electrical power to the unit.
2. Remove the louvered grill.
3. Vacuum or brush the dirt, lint, or debris from the finned condenser coil.
4. If you have significant dirt build up you can blow out the condenser with compressed air.
5. When finished be sure to replace the louvered grill. The grill protects the condenser.
6. Reconnect the electrical power to the unit.
CLEANING THE FAN BLADES AND MOTOR
If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. If it is necessary to wash the fan blades, cover the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF UNIT
When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a solvent of warm water and mild soap. Do not use steel wool, caustic soap, abrasive cleaners, or bleach that may damage the stainless steel surface.
Wash door gaskets on a regular basis, preferably weekly. Simply remove door gasket from the frame of the door, soak in warm water and soap for thirty (30) minutes, dry with soft cloth, and replace. Check door gaskets for proper seal after they are replaced.
Periodically remove the shelves and pilasters from the unit and clean them with mild soap and warm water. To remove the pilasters, first remove the shelves and shelf clips. Then, unscrew the pilaster with a phillips screwdriver and remove.
WARNING
Disconnect power cord before cleaning any parts of the unit.
