GENERAL CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
(CONTINUED)
• Check the ingredients of cleaning solutions or disinfectants used as they may contain
chlorinated solvents. Always read the label of the cleaning solutions. Check warnings
about use on stainless steel products. Repeated use of chlorinated solvents may cause
a chemical reaction with the stainless steel, which will damage the surface and cause
rusting.
• Care should also be taken to avoid splashing the unit with water containing chlorinated
cleansers, when mopping the floor around the unit.
• For stubborn harder spills, use baking soda and water (mixed 1 TBSP baking soda to
1 pint water ratio). Unit must be cleaned with warm water to remove any baking soda
residue.
Experiencing white powder residue?
Your cleanser contains chlorine.
Do NOT use cleansers containing chlorine.
Cleaning the Interior:
• For stubborn stains, the use of baking soda is recommended. This can be used on
breaker and door strips as well as door gaskets.
• The door gasket is press fit into a groove and can be removed for cleaning when
necessary.
Side wall air tunnel assemblies:
• For routine cleaning, it is NOT necessary to remove the interior airflow tunnels (left
and right sides). These panels are critical to the performance of the air curtain and
need to remain properly installed. If there is a situation like a major spill it is possible
to remove them for cleaning.
• The side wall air tunnel assemblies have keyhole slots that hook over carriage bolts
on the interior side wall of the unit:
Removal:
Lift tunnel straight up and pull away from the sidewall to disengage it from
the carriage bolts. Tilt the air tunnel at an angle to remove it from the cabinet.
Installation:
Position the tunnel against the side wall and lift up while aligning the
large portion of the keyhole slots over the carriage bolts. Push the tunnel tightly
against the sidewall and pull down to lock into place.
