Operation
a.
Electrical Supply and Connections:
Plug all standard models into 115 volts A.C. 60 cycle outlet. Low line voltage in often the
cause of service complaints. Check to see that the line voltage is 110 volts or more with
the unit running. Other motors or heavy appliances should not be used on the same
circuit with the cooler. When working on the inside of the cooler disconnect from
electrical circuit for safety reasons. CAUTION: If an extension cord is necessary, use only
a three wire grounding type of wire 16AWG or larger; do not exceed 20 ft. in length. The
use of ungrounded cords or overloaded circuits voids compressor warranty.
b.
Temperature Control: See Control instructions for more info.
Factory setting of temperature control is 4°C. To change temperature hold down set key
for 3 seconds, press up or down arrow to change set point and press set to finish.
c.
Condensate Disposal:
The evaporator blower housing serves as a pan to collect and direct the condensate to
the evaporator pan located behind the front grille. Air flow over the pan hastens
condensate evaporation so that external drain plumbing is not required.
3.
Maintenance – Caution: Disconnect Electrical service before accessing mechanical enclosures
having moving and/or electrical components.
a.
Cleaning Cabinet Exterior:
Cabinets should be cleaned with a solution of mild soap and water. Do not use caustic
soap or abrasive cleaners, since these might damage the cabinet finish. If stainless steel
surface becomes discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the finish grain. Do
not use steel wool.
b.
Cleaning Interior Surfaces:
The inside of the cabinet is coated with baked-on vinyl (except stainless steel cooler). To
clean, use mild soapy water and cloth or sponge.
c.
Condenser:
For efficient operation, it is recommended that the condenser coil and fans be cleaned
every 3 to 6 months. Remove front grille for access. Vacuum clean front surface of coil
thoroughly or direct forced air through condenser fins. Failure to clean condenser can
cause compressor malfunction and will void warranty.
d.
Evaporator Fan:
Evaporator pan should be cleaned periodically to prevent odors and maintain
evaporating efficiency. The pan contains wicks to assist evaporation and should be
replaced periodically.
