To clean the condenser:
1. Disconnect the unit from electrical power by unplugging.
2. Remove the front louver assembly: The front louver assembly is held in place with
magnets and is easily removed by pulling it down and out. Removing the front louver
assembly allows full access to the front facing condenser.
3. If more access to components is required, the rear and side louvers can be taken off by
removing the screws that hold the louvers in place.
4. Brush any dirt, lint or dust from the finned surface of the condenser coil and other
cooling system parts.
Note:
Care should be taken not to bend any condenser fins, as this will reduce
performance and compressor life.
5. Secure all removed louvers back in place when you are finished.
General Cleaning Guide of Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel should be cleaned with warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Apply with
a dampened cloth and wipe in the direction of the metal grain. Stainless steel polish may
be used to renew and protect the outside cabinet finish.
Do NOT use stainless
steel polish inside the unit!
• Do not use gritty or abrasive cleaners that
may tend to mar or scratch the surface.
• Do NOT use cleansers containing chlorine, this may
promote corrosion of the stainless steel.

DEFROST
(CONTINUED)
6. Defrost is not canceled when you open the door. If possible let the defrost cycle finish
and allow the compressor to come on for a few minutes before opening the door for
service.
7. Running the unit in very high humidity conditions with long door open times will create
excessive ice buildup on the evaporator coil and greatly reduce performance. This may
require additional manual defrosts to keep the evaporator coil free of ice.
8. Be aware that pushing the defrost button after the door has been closed can cancel a
defrost cycle if it has already automatically started.
9. Not allowing enough time with the door closed between open door sessions for
defrosting can shorten effective open door times.
10. Defrosting heavy ice buildups caused by running in abnormal conditions can cause the
vapor pan at the bottom of the unit to overflow. In this case it is possible to attach a
hose to the bottom of the vapor pan and allow it to drain into a floor drain.

WARNING:
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT OR PRIOR TO ANY
SERVICE.
Cleaning the Condenser:
The clean condenser reminder Alert will light up approximately every 60 days of run time. It is
very important to keep the condenser coil clean to insure a long, reliable service life for your
FWE AirScreen. Keeping the condenser fins clean of lint and dust accumulation allows the unit
to operate efficiently, use less energy and achieve top performance.
