IMPORTANT: Always remove power from the chiller before
performing any cleaning or maintenance activities.
CLEANING:
•
The condenser fins on the top of the unit must be kept clean for the unit to
operate properly. Inspect and clean the condenser fins weekly by wiping with
a dry cloth, soft bristle brush, or vacuuming. Be careful not to bend over
condenser fins.
•
The plastic housing cover should be wiped with a soft damp cloth. Do not use
any caustic cleaners, as they could scratch of discolor the finish.
•
Do not attempt to clean the inner water chambers with any brush that is wire
wound. There is a chance of damaging the delicate internal surfaces. If
cleaning is required, a separate mild chlorine bleach solution is recommended
to remove organic material and a dilute solution of muriatic acid is
recommended for removing mineral deposits.
Rinse system and all parts
thoroughly after cleaning before returning unit to service.
