REGULAR MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
■For efficient operation, it is important that the condenser surface be kept
free of dust, dirt, and lint.
■We recommend cleaning the condenser coil and fins at least once per
month.
■Clean with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen
equipment retailer. Brush the condenser fins from top to bottom, not side to
side.
■After cleaning, straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
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 brackets. Then, simply lift the pilaster up and out.
