Daily Cleaning
1. Move the Power I/O (on/off) Switch to the “O” (off) position
and allow the unit to defrost.
NOTE: If a catch pan is used underneath the drain fitting,
make sure the pan is emptied regularly to prevent over-
flowing.
2. Remove and wash any pans and adapters.
3. Clean the well using a clean cloth or sponge and mild
detergent. Use a plastic scouring pad to remove any
hardened food particles or mineral deposits.
4. Wipe down well with a clean, sanitized cloth to remove
the detergent residue. Repeat until all detergent residue is
gone and the well is clean.
5. Wipe dry the entire unit using a non-abrasive, dry cloth.
6. Wipe down the outside of the louvered or grill-style panels
installed in the ventilation openings.
Monthly Cleaning
Perform the following procedure monthly to maintain proper
and efficient operation of the Refrigerated Drop-In Wells as well
as prevent malfunction.
1. Remove and clean both sides of the louvered or grill-style
panels that are installed in the ventilation openings. Dirt
and dust build-up in the panels can restrict air flow to the
condensing unit and cause over-heating.
2. Clean the condenser coil cooling fins. Dirt, dust, and lint
build-up in the cooling fins will prevent proper cooling of the
refrigerant in the refrigeration system. This buildup will cause
inefficient operation and can lead to unit failure. Use the
following methods to clean the condenser coil cooling fins:
• Vacuum the cooling fins.
• Brush the cooling fins vertically using a condenser
coil brush.
NOTICE
: Use caution when brushing
the cooling fins, they are delicate and can be bent
easily. DO NOT use a wire brush.

NOTE: Depending on the conditions of the installation site, this
cleaning procedure may need to be performed more
often or less often than monthly. Monitor the level of dirt,
dust, and lint buildup on the panels and cooling fins,
and make adjustments to the frequency of cleanings as
necessary.
