RECOMMENDED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE — SERVICE

REPLACEMENT PARTS INFORMATION

Routine service / maintenance should be performed only by qualified individuals who are properly trained

and knowledgeable of the type and scope of work required. Before performing any service / maintenance (or introducing

water into the immediate area of the unit) disconnect and lock out ALL sources of power to the unit!

Check room temperature vs. thermostat setting

Adjust / calibrate as required to maintain desired room temperature

Observe fan motors for normal operation and sound level

Troubleshoot any non-functional motors, motors turning slowly or

making abnormal noise / vibrations

Visually check the coil and unit for excess frost / ice accumulation

Troubleshoot the possible causes for abnormal build-up

(see Troubleshooting Defrost Cycle chart)

Visually check condensate drain pan for debris

(check for standing water / ice build-up)

Remove ice with hot water. Remove and clean pan with warm

soapy water if required

Check condensate drain line

Clear drain with plumbers snake, high pressure air

or warm water if plugged.

Check drain line heater (electric defrost units only)

Confirm drain line heater is energized and functioning.

Troubleshoot non-functional heater

Check operation of coil and drain pan heaters

Manually initiate a defrost cycle and check heater amp draws (see

Troubleshooting Defrost Heater chart)

If it becomes necessary to clean the coil assembly due to the accumulation of grease, dirt or debris, use a mixture of hot water

and Dawn dishwashing liquid in a pump-up sprayer and thoroughly saturate the entire coil assembly with the solution. Allow the

mixture to soak on the coil for several minutes, then flush thoroughly and completely with warm water. Repeat as necessary.

LU-VE reserves the right to make changes and / or modifications to our equipment in order to improve the

performance or appearance of our products at any time without notice and without any obligation to previous

production units. All technical characteristics are stated in the current, published product catalog.
