REGULAR MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL

For efficient operation, it is important that the condenser surface be kept free of dust, dirt, and lint.
ColdTech recommends cleaning the condenser coil and fins at least once per month.  Clean with a 
commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment retailer.  Brush the condenser 
fins from top to bottom, not side to side.  After cleaning, straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin 
comb.

CLEANING THE FAN BLADES AND MOTOR

If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth.  If it is necessary to wash the fan blades, 
cover the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF UNIT

When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a solvent of warm water and mild soap.  Do not use steel wool, 
caustic soap, abrasive cleaners, or bleach that may damage the stainless steel surface.

Wash door gaskets on a regular basis, preferably weekly.  Simply remove door gasket from the frame of 
the door, soak in warm water and soap for thirty (30) minutes, dry with soft cloth, and replace.  Check door 
gaskets for proper seal after they are replaced.

Periodically remove the shelves and pilasters from the unit and clean them with mild soap and warm 
water.  To remove the pilasters, first remove the shelves and shelf brackets.  Then, simply lift the pilaster 
up and out.

WAR NING

Disconnect power cord before cleaning any parts of the unit.
