MAINTENANCE AND CONDENSER CLEANING
Note:
Condensers accumulate dirt and dust and cleaning it every 30 days
is recommended. Dirty condensers result in compressor failure, product
loss, and lost sales — which are not covered by warranty.
Air is pulled through the condenser continuously along with dust, lint, grease, etc.
If you keep the condenser clean you will minimize your service expense and
lower your electrical costs. The condenser requires scheduled cleaning every
days or as needed. A dirty condenser can result in non warranted part and
compressor failures and product loss.
Proper cleaning involves removing debris from the condenser by using a soft
brush or vacuuming the condenser with a shop vacuum or using CO2, nitrogen
or pressurized air.
If you cannot remove the debris adequately. please call your refrigeration
service provider.
