CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
Figure 4
for efficient operation, it is important that
the condenser surface be kept free of
dust, dirt, and lint. It is recommended to
clean the condenser coil and the fins at
least once per month.
Remove the screws holding the vent
cover at the bottom of the unit in the front
(see figure 4) to access the condenser.
Use a commercial condenser coil
cleaner, available from any kitchen
equipment retailer. Brush the condenser
fins from top to bottom, not side to side.
After cleaning, straighten any bent
condenser fins with a fin comb.
CLEANING THE FAN BLADES AND MOTOR
If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. When washing the fan blades, be sure to
cover the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a solvent of warm water and mild soap. DO NOT use steel wool,
abrasive cleaners, caustic soap or bleach as those may damage the surfaces.
Door gaskets should be washed on a weekly basis. Simply remove the door gasket from the frame of the
door, soak in warm water and soap for 30 minutes, dry with a soft cloth, and replace on the door. Be sure
to check that they are properly sealing after they are replaced.
Periodically remove the shelves and pilasters from the unit and clean them with mild soap and warm
water. To remove the pilasters, first remove the shelves and shelf brackets, and then simply lift the pilaster
up and out.
WARNING
:
ALWAYS disconnect the power cord before cleaning any parts of the unit.
