12.1 Cleaning the
Drawers
To clean the drawers, use a solution of water and a mild detergent. Rinse the
drawers and wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
For instructions on removing and reinstalling drawers, refer to Section 10.
12.2 Cleaning the
Condenser
CAUTION
: Condensers should be cleaned at least every six months. In
heavy traffic areas, condensers load with dirt more quickly. Failure to keep
the condenser clean can result in equipment warm-up or erratic
temperatures.
WARNING
: Be sure to disconnect the unit from main power before
cleaning the condenser.
CAUTION
: Never clean near condensers with your fingers. Some surfaces
are sharp.
In all models, the condenser is located in the top machine compartment. To
clean the condenser:
1.
Disconnect the power.
2.
Remove the top front grill.
3.
Use a vacuum cleaner with hose and brush attachments to clean the
front face of the finned surface.
4.
Clean up any loose dust and replace the front grill.
5.
Reconnect the power.
