Setcontrolatposition5fortemperatureaverageof35ºF.

4.1DEFROST
The unit will not require defrosting if the door is only opened for a minimum time. Defrosting should
be done when the box is empty and periodically. To do this unplug the unit and leave the door open
for fifteen minutes. Defrost water will accumulate in a pan under the evaporator and will
drain to a plastic container in the storage area under the unit.
Do not use a pick, knife, etc., to pry ice from evaporator as this could puncture evaporator or damage
the finish.
4.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
Sometimes,workingfailuresareduetosimplecauseswhichcanbesolvedbytheuser.Before
askingforthehelpofaqualifiedtechnician,youhavetodosomeverification.Thesefailuresare
notcoveredbythewarranty:

1.Refrigerationdoesn´twork.
a.Checktheunitisstillconnectedtopowersupply.

2.Refrigeratordoesn’treachtemperature.
a.CheckthethermostatisnotinOFFposition.
b.Checkthethermostatisatposition5orhigher.
c.Checktheunitisnotondefrostcycle.

5MAINTENANCE
StainlessSteelCareandCleaning:
Propercleaningofstainlesssteelrequiressoftclothsorplasticsouringpads.Neverusesteel
pads,wirebrushesorscrapers!

Cleaningsolutionsneedtobealkalineornon‐chloridecleaners.Anycleanercontainingchlorides
willdamagetheprotectivefilmofthestainlesssteel.Chloridesarealsocommonlyfoundinhard
water,salts,andhouseholdandindustrialcleaners.Ifcleanercontainingchloridesareusedbe
suretorinserepeatedlyanddrythoroughlyuponcompletion.

Routinecleaningofstainlesssteelcanbedonewithsoapandwater.Extremestainsorgrease
shouldbecleanedwithanon‐abrasivecleanerandplasticscrubpad.Therearealsostainless
steelcleanersavailablewhichcanrestoreandpreservethefinishofthesteelsprotectivelayer.

Neveruseandacidbasedcleaningsolution!Manyfoodproductshaveanacidiccontentwhich
candeterioratethefinish.BesuretocleantheALLfoodproductsfromanystainlesssteel
surface.Commonitemsincludepeppers,tomatoesandothervegetables.

CleaningtheCondenserCoil

DANGER:Powermustbeturnedoffanddisconnectedfromthepowersource
wheneverperformingmaintenance,repairorcleaningthecondensingunit.

Disconnectmachine.Removefrontbottompanelandcarefullyslideoutthecondensingunit.
Thecondensercoilrequiresregularcleaning;recommendedevery30‐60days,dependingof
theaccumulationofdustandgrease.Ifthebuilduponthecoilconsistsofonlylightdustand
debristhecondensercoilcanbecleanedwithasimplebrush.Heavierdustbuildupmay
requireavacuumorevencompressedairtoblowthoughthecondensercoil.Ifheavygreaseis
presenttherearede‐greasingagentsavailableforrefrigerationuseandspecificallyforthe
condensercoils.Thecondensercoilmayrequireaspraywiththede‐greasingagentandthen
blownthroughwithcompressedair.

Besureallelectricalandmechanicalpartsaredrybeforeturningonthepower.
Neveruseahighpressurewaterwashforthiscleaningprocedureaswatercandamagethe
electricalcomponentslocatednearoratthecondensercoil.Donotplacefiltermaterialin
frontofcondensercoil.Thismaterialblocksair‐flowtothecoilsimilartohavingadirtycoil!
IfyoukeeptheCondensercleanyouwillminimizeyourserviceexpenseandloweryour
electricalcosts.Failuretomaintainacleancondensercoilcaninitiallycausehightemperatures
andexcessiveruntimes.Continuousoperationwithdirtyorcloggedcondensercoilscanresult
incompressorfailures.


GasketMaintenance
Gasketsrequireregularcleaningtopreventmoldandmildewbuildupandalsotokeepthe
elasticityofthegasket.Gasketcleaningcanbedonewiththeuseofwarmsoapywater.Avoid
fullstrengthcleaningproductsongasketsasthiscancausethemtobecomebrittleandprevent
properseals.Also,neverusesharptoolsorknivestoscrapeorcleanthegasketwhichcould
possiblytearthegasketandripthebellows.
Gasketscaneasilybereplacedanddonotrequiretheuseoftoolsorauthorizedservicepersons.
Thegasketscanbepulledoutofthegroveinthedoorandnewgasketscanbe“pressed”back
intoplace.

DrainMaintenance
Eachunithasadrainlocatedinsidetheunitwhichremovesthecondensationfromthe
evaporatorcoilandevaporatesitatanexternalcondensateevaporatorpan.Eachdraincan
becomelooseordisconnectedfrommovingorbumpingthedrain.IFYOUNOTICEEXCESSIVE
WATERACCUMULATIONONTHEINSIDEOFTHEUNITbesurethedraintubeisconnectedfrom
theevaporatorhousingtothecondensateevaporatordrainpan.IFWATERISCOLLECTED
UNDERNEATHTHEUNITyoumaywanttocheckthecondensateevaporatordraintubetobe
sureitisstilllocatedinsidethedrainpan.Thelevelingoftheunitisimportantastheunitsare
designedtodrainproperlywhenonalevelsurface,ifyourfloorisnotlevelthiscanalsocause
drainproblems.Besurealldrainlinesarefreeofobstructions;typicallyfoodproductisfound
blockingdrainlinescausingwatertobackupandoverflowthedrainpans.
