Service: Inspection/Cleaning
• Inspect Cooler twice each year for proper operation and performance.
• Inspection of the unit will require disconnecting electrical supply, removal of panels, etc. and reassembly and return to service practices.
1. Cleaning: Warm, soapy water or mild household cleaning products can be used to clean the exterior panels. Extra caution should be used to
clean the mirror nished stainless steel panels. They can be easily scratched and should only be cleaned with mild soap and water or Windex
glass cleaner and a clean, soft cloth. Use of harsh chemicals or petroleum based or abrasive cleaners will void the warranty.
2. Bubbler: Mineral deposits on the orice can cause water ow to spurt or not regulate. Mineral deposits may be removed from the orice with a
small round le not over 1/8” (3 mm) diameter or small diameter wire.
• CAUTION : DO NOT le or cut orice material. Care must be taken not to damage the orice(s)
3. Condenser Fan Motor: Conrm condenser fan turns freely. If the condenser fan does not spin freely, have an authorized service personnel replace.
4. Ventilation: Cabinet louvers and condenser ns should be periodically cleaned with a brush, air hose or vacuum cleaner. Cleaning should be
done twice each year or more frequently if needed due to environment. Excess dirt or poor ventilation can cause no cold water and compressor
cycling on the compressor overload protector.
5. Water Flow: Conrm proper water ow. If water ow is slow, inspect lter or inline strainer for restriction. Replace lter cartridge if required.
Disassemble inline strainer and clean if required.
6. Lubrication: Motors are lifetime lubricated.
