8. Operating description
Drop-in refrigerated well, ventilated
The goods being presented are cooled in drop-in wells with ventilation by means of a directed cold air
haze.
This air haze is moved by means of ventilators which suck the air from the goods area through a
return air duct (1). The air then enters the evaporator below the goods display panel (2), circulating
evenly. At the same time the air is chilled and blown into the goods area through an discharge air duct
(3). The airflow takes place via an angled ventilation plate (4). By exactly determining the components
very even air distribution is obtained.
The Air Pans are equipped
with base decks, which are
adjustable in height.
Additionally you can use
different American pans.
Therefore additionally
adapter bars are available.
This offers you a wide range
of application presenting
your goods.

9.3. Special cleaning hints
Cleaning of the interior and evaporator coil
Remove the base decks or GN pans (1) and the air plenums (2) out of the well.
First of all lift up the evaporator (3) and then sway the lock (4) to the left. Now the evaporator is
fixed and you can remove crass dirt inside the well (without water) to avoid a blockage of the
drain. After cleaning the interior release the evaporator unit back in original position. Than tilt the
cover of the evaporator unit (5), fans in low voltage (24V DC) allow danger-free rinsing of the
evaporator coil and the fans with a hand shower (6).
The evaporator unit and the interior (7) have to be cleaned with lukewarm soap water.
ATTENTION: Check if the refrigerated well is drained before cleaning the interior with water!
Otherwise place a bucket or a pan below the drain to catch the dirty water.

Always dry the interior after cleaning. After cleaning lift the evaporator, remove the lock and drop
the evaporator, drop in the inner tub, position the hanging track and drop in the inner well.
Never clean the outside housing with a water hose or a scrubber. Avoid flowing water near this
areas.
All other surfaces can be cleaned with soft detergents or water.
If the condenser is contaminated it has to be cleaned with a broom or a vacuum cleaner.
Do not close or put any objects in front of the condenser openings for fresh air because otherwise
the refrigerating power will be reduced.
Cleaning of condenser unit
Each self-contained refrigeration unit requires periodic cleaning of the condenser unit. The condenser
coil (looks like a radiator and is directly in front of the fan) requires periodic cleaning.
A dirty condenser is the main cause of refrigeration overheating, burnout and poor cooling levels.
Similar to the daily merchandise area cleaning, it is necessary to remove the static dust build up from
the condenser coils to ensure effective and trouble free operation.
The condenser should be thoroughly cleaned monthly (under extreme conditions clean more often)!
Important: Warranty void if this service is neglected or temperature controls interfered with.
