Maintenance
DRAIN
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit that removes
the condensation from the evaporator coil and routes it
to an external condensate evaporator pan. Each drain can
become loose or disconnected during normal use. If you
notice water accumulation on the inside of the unit, be sure
the drain tube is connected to the evaporator drain pan.
If water is collecting underneath the unit, make sure the
end of the drain tube is in the condensate evaporator. The
leveling of the unit is important as the units are designed to
drain properly when level. Be sure all drain lines are free of
obstructions.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the
condenser fins must be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease
regularly. It is recommended that this be done monthly. If
conditions are such that the condenser is totally blocked
in a month, the frequency of cleaning should be increased.
Clean the condenser with a vacuum cleaner or stiff brush. If
extremely dirty, a commercially available condenser cleaner
may be required.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause
high temperatures and excessive run times. Continuous
operation with a dirty or clogged condenser coil can
result in compressor failure. Neglecting the condenser coil
cleaning procedures will void any warranties associated
with the compressor and cost to replace the compressor.
CASTERS
Wipe casters with a damp cloth monthly to prevent
corrosion.
DOORS/HINGES
Over time and with heavy-use doors, the hinges may
become loose. If this happens, tighten the screws that
mount the hinge brackets to the frame of the unit. Loose
or sagging doors can cause the hinges to pull out of the
frame, which may damage both the doors and the hinges.
In some cases this may require qualified service agents or
maintenance personnel to perform repairs.
PREVENTING BLOWER COIL CORROSION
To help prevent corrosion of the blower coil, store all acidic
items, such as pickles and tomatoes, in seal-able containers.
Immediately wipe up all spills.
