Do not splash the unit with bleach when cleaning around the counter:
If you do, rinse the surface immediately with clean water thoroughly.
Do not allow:
Corrosive foodstuffs such as fruit juices, vinegar, mustards, pickles, mayonnaise, etc., to remain on stainless steel for long periods.
Wash and rinse away.
Do not leave:
Steel objects or utensils standing on the stainless steel surfaces for long periods. They can rust and leave marks. After cleaning with
detergent always remove residues with a wet cloth and wipe dry, if left they can have an etching effect on the surface.
Correctly applied the above instructions will result in continuous good looks!
4. MAINTENANCE
Trained person
Maintenance shall be carried out by a trained competent person who is wearing the appropriate PPE (personal protect equipment).
Caution: Child safety
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children.
Warning: switch off and unplug
You must switch off and disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains supply before carrying out maintenance or removing any
covers or components which have been fastened using screws.
4.1. CLEANING THE CONDENSER
The refrigeration system will pick up dust from the air, which will build up on the fins of the condenser. This will cause the condenser
to lose effectiveness over time.
It is important to examine, and clean, the condenser as necessary, or every 3 months. The condenser is made up of closely packed
metal fins that might present a cut hazard, the use of strong industrial protective gloves is recommended.
Note: The frequency of checking, and cleaning, the condenser varies between installations and depends on the positioning of the unit,
the amount of time the unit is run during a day and the number of people walking past in front of the unit.
In installations where the units are on for 24 hours a day and have a high volume of people passing in front of the unit this cleaning
may be required once a week. It is, therefore, advisable to check weekly when first installed to determine the appropriate cleaning
frequency. The position and method of accessing the Condenser will vary depending on the unit size.
4.2. CONDENSER CLEANING METHOD
(a) To clean the condenser, use a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner.
(b) Care must be taken not to damage the condenser fins, the dust needs to be
removed gently.
(c) Do not use force or stabbing motions with the brush.
4.3. CLEANING THE CONDENSER
(a) The Condenser is located on the front (customer facing) side of the unit.
See Figure 4.
(b) Remove the Condenser Access Panel, by simply pulling it forward until free. Take
care not to damage the vents.
(c) Once the panel is unclipped, lift clear, and store safely.
(d) Clean the condenser using the cleaning method in Section 4.2.
(e) Once cleaning is complete, replace the cover by aligning the Condenser Access
Panel with the aperture and pressing firmly.
Warning: Failure to clean the condenser regularly will result in the refrigerant in the appliance not being cooled. The refrigerant will over
heat and activate the high pressure cut out switch, turning the refrigeration system off. The cut out is self-resetting, but it will repeatedly
activate if the condenser is not cleaned. If the appliance appears to be working, but is not cooling correctly, check the condenser.
Damage caused by poor maintenance and cleaning of the condenser is not covered by your Victor warranty, see Section 5 (Warranty).
Call out of an engineer under warranty that proves to be a blocked condenser due to poor cleaning will be charged for.
