Condensers accumulate dirt and require cleaning every 30 days. Dirty condensers result in
compressor failure, product loss, and lost sales... which are not covered by warranty.
If you keep the Condenser clean you will minimize your service expense and lower your electrical costs. The
Condenser requires scheduled cleaning every thirty days or as needed.
Air is pulled through the Condenser continuously, along with dust, lint, grease, etc.
A dirty Condenser can result in NON-WARRANTEED part & Compressor Failures, Product Loss, and Lost Sales.
Proper cleaning involves removing dust from the Condenser. By using a soft brush, or vacuuming the Condenser
with a shop vac, or using CO2, nitrogen, or pressurized air.
If you cannot remove the dirt adequately, please call your refrigeration service company.
On most of the reach-in units the condenser is accessible in the rear of the unit. You must remove the cabinet grill
to expose the Condenser.
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.
THE CLEANING OF THE CONDENSER IS NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY!
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 a significant dirt build up you can blow out the condenser with compressed air. (CAUTION
MUST BE USED to avoid eye injury. Eye protection is recommended.)
5. When finished be sure to replace the louvered grill. The gill protects the condenser.
6. Reconnect the electrical power to the unit.
If you have any questions, please call TRUE Manufacturing at 636-240-2400 or 800-325-6152 and ask for the
Service Department. Service Department Availability Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
