MAINTENANCE
Routine cleaning of stainless steel can be done with soap and water. Extreme stains or grease should be cleaned
with a non-abrasive cleaner and plastic scrub pad. It is always good to rub with the grain of the steel. There are also
stainless steel cleaners available which can restore and preserve the finish of the steels protective layer.
Early signs of stainless steel breakdown can consist of small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean thoroughly and
start to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt to restore the passivity of steel.
WARNING
NEVER USE AN ACID BASED CLEANING SOLUTION!
MANY FOOD PRODUCTS HAVE AN ACIDIC CONTENT WHICH CAN DETERIORATE THE FINISH.
BE SURE TO CLEAN ALL FOOD PRODUCTS FROM ANY STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE.
COMMON ITEMS INCLUDE, TOMATOES, PEPPERS AND OTHER VEGETABLES.
WARNING
THE POWER MUST BE TURNED OFF AND DISCONNECTED AT ALL TIMES
WHEN PERFORMING MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR FUNCTIONS.
MAINTENANCE – Cleaning the Condenser Coil
The condenser coil is located behind the filter panel and is accessed through the front of the unit (See Figure 5). Filter
can be cleaned by rinsing with water. Allow to dry completely before reinstalling. The condenser coil requires regular
cleaning and is recommended every 60 days. However, in some instances you may find that there is a large amount of
debris, dust or grease that has accumulated prior to the 60 day time frame. In these cases the condenser coil should be
cleaned every 30 days.
If the build up on the coil consists of only light dust and debris the condenser coil can be cleaned with a simple brush,
heavier dust build up may require a vacuum or even compressed air to blow through the condensor coil.
If heavy grease is present degreasing agents are available for refrigeration use and specifically for the condenser coils.
The condenser coil may require a spray with the degreasing agent and then blown through with compressed air.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high temperatures and excessive run times. Continuous
operation with dirty or clogged condenser coils can result in compressor failures. Neglecting the condenser coil
cleaning procedures will void any warranties associated with the compressor or cost to replace the compressor.

NEVER USE A HIGH-PRESSURE WATER WASH FOR THIS CLEANING PROCEDURE AS
WATER CAN DAMAGE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS LOCATED NEAR OR AT THE CONDENSER COIL.
