NOTICE
Clean unit daily to avoid malfunctions and maintain
sanitary operation.
Do not use steel wool for cleaning. Steel wool will scratch
the finish.
Use non-abrasive cleaners and cloths only. Abrasive
cleaners and cloths could scratch the finish of the unit,
marring its appearance and making it susceptible to soil
accumulation.
Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach, cleaners
containing bleach, or oven cleaners to clean this unit.
Daily Cleaning
1. Move the Power I/O (on/off) Switch to the “O” (off) position
and allow the unit to defrost.
NOTE: If a catch pan is used underneath the drain fitting,
make sure the pan is emptied regularly to prevent over-
flowing.
2. Remove and wash any pans.
3. Clean the frost top using a damp cloth or sponge and
mild detergent. Use a plastic scouring pad to remove any
hardened food particles or mineral deposits.
4. Wipe down the frost top with a non-abrasive, sanitized
cloth to remove the detergent residue. Repeat until all
detergent residue is gone and the frost top is clean.
5. Wipe down the outside of the ventilation panels where the
condensing unit is installed.
6. Wipe dry the entire unit and the ventilation panels with a
clean, non-abrasive cloth.
Monthly Cleaning (FTBR Models only)
Perform the following procedure monthly to maintain proper
and efficient operation as well as prevent malfunction of the
condensing unit.
1. Remove and clean both sides of the ventilation panels
that are located where the condensing unit is installed. Dirt
and dust build-up in the panels can restrict air flow to the
condensing unit and cause over-heating.
2. Clean the condenser coil cooling fins. Dirt, dust, and lint
build-up in the cooling fins will prevent proper cooling of
the refrigerant in the refrigeration system. This buildup will
cause inefficient operation and can lead to unit failure. Use
the following methods to clean the condenser coil cooling
fins:
• Vacuum the cooling fins.
• Brush the cooling fins vertically using a condenser
coil brush.
NOTICE
: Use caution when brushing
the cooling fins, they are delicate and can be bent
easily. DO NOT use a wire brush.

NOTE: Depending on the conditions of the installation site, this
cleaning procedure may need to be performed more
often or less often than monthly. Monitor the level of dirt,
dust, and lint buildup on the panels and cooling fins,
and make adjustments to the frequency of cleanings as
necessary.
