CLEANING THE FREEZER
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your absorption freezer before cleaning. Ignoring this
warning may result in injury.
General: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents,
solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your
absorption freezer.
1) Remove the contents of the appliance
2) Wipe the inside and outside surfaces with a damp cloth. The addition of vinegar to the water is good for
the prevention of mold and fungus.
3) Wipe all parts thoroughly after the cleaning.
The cooling unit behind the freezer should be cleaned with a brush from time to time, but make sure that
the freezer is switched off when doing this.
The entire unit must be left for drying completely after cleaning with damp cloth
Cleaning the burner
Take off the protection hood and do the following:
1. Clean the openings and the burner screen with a toothbrush;
2. Clean and inspect the electrode and thermocouple. If either
is corroded, have it changed. Check that they are well
attached and if necessary tighten the screws;
3. Check that the spark is created by pressing the electric
piezo igniter button on the control panel.
4. Do not use thin objects to either clean or unblock the injector
Cleaning the Cooling System Flue
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide can be hazardous to your health. Gas appliances may emit excessive Carbon
Monoxide if the freezer’s burner, burner orifice, and the flue tube are not regularly cleaned. To prevent
Carbon Monoxide, the burner, burner orifice, and the cooling system’s flue tube must be cleaned at least
once a year and after all prolonged (seasonal) shut-down periods. Refer to the following cleaning
procedures,
or contact a qualified installer, your dealer.
Before cleaning, Put a cloth on the burner to protect it from dirt;
1. Remove the freezer from its enclosure.
2. Remove the heat deflector cap from the flue.
3. Remove the spiral flue baffle from the flue tube.
4. Using a stiff brush or fine emery cloth, clean the spiral flue baffle of debris.
