Cleaning the condenser
The condenser (pictured below) must be kept clean in order to maintain a
clear passage through which air may pass. Air is continually drawn through
the condenser fins, along with dust, lint, paper, grease, etc. Do not allow this
dirt to build up and block vision through the fins. A clean condenser will
minimise operating, maintenance and repair expenses.
The condenser fins are likely to require cleaning at least once a month but
the frequency will depend on unit usage and operating conditions.
