PROPER DETERGENT USE
Follow requirements of local health authorities.
1.
Use a detergent-sanitizer or a mild detergent (neutral or
mildly alkaline recommended for metal surfaces)
followed by a sanitizing rinse solution. These chemicals
are necessary to kill or deactivate the micro-organisms
on the surface areas in contact with stored food. Choose
these chemicals carefully. Some are toxic and should
only be used on non-food surfaces.
2.
Quats (quaternary ammonium) are usually the best
sanitizing compounds, for they are relatively non-
corrosive and have better detergent and deodorizing
properties than chlorine or iodine compounds.
3.
When using these products, it is important to follow label
directions exactly to obtain the correct sanitizing action.
4.
Caution: do not use volatile cleaning solvents.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROCEDURE
Interior Accessory Cleaning
Interior cleaning is recommended a minimum of once a
week to maintain good sanitary conditions and to eliminate
odors.
1.
Remove all food to protective temporary storage
.
2.
Disconnect power (electric) cord from receptacle or
trip circuit breaker.
3.
Open doors and allow warm room air to enter cabinet.
4.
Remove all accessories (shelves, racks, etc.)fromwithin
the cabinet and scrub with a detergent solution and a
nylon bristled brush.
5.
Rinse with clear water.
6.
Soak in a final rinse of sanitizing solution for
recommended period of time.
7.
Remove and air dry.
Interior Surface Cleaning
1.
When storage compartment(s) is sufficiently warm,
remove all loose food particles.
2.
Scrub all interior surfaces with warm detergent solution
100-120°F (38-49°C) and a nylon bristled brush. Scrub
the floor and ceiling surfaces of the interior, walls,
corners, inner door surface, gaskets, and latches.
3.
Rinse with warm clean water using a cellulose sponge.
4.
Remove excess rinse water with sponge.
5.
Wipe all interior surfaces down with sanitizing solution.
6.
Allow to air dry.
7.
Return accessories to unit.
8.
Return power (electrical) cord to receptacle or reset
circuit breaker.
9.
Return food to cabinet when temperature indicator
reaches safety zone.
Exterior Surface Cleaning
Cleaning and sanitizing agents for stainless steel and
aluminum exteriors should be used daily.
1.
Dip cellulose sponge in cleaning solution, wipe down
surfaces.
2.
Polish with clean soft cloth. Wipe in direction of grain.
Once a week a film cutting agent may be used for metal
finishes to maintain a shining surface.
Condenser Maintenance
Cleaning is recommended at least once every three (3)
months.
1.
Disconnect the electrical service cord from receptacle
or trip circuit breaker.
2.
Use a vacuum cleaner with proper brush attachments,
to clean the condenser, compressor motor and related
parts.
3.
In extreme cases of dust and grease build-up, the
condenser fins may require blowing out with
compressedair.
4.
Return electrical service cord to receptacle or reset
circuit breaker.
NOTE:
The air cooled condensing unit depends upon the
amount of air passing through the condenser. Grease, lint
and dust accumulation reduces required air flow. The
refrigerator will consume less current and operate more
efficiently if the condenser is kept clean.
START-UP PROCEDURE
After the model has been installed, leveled and cleaned as
described in the preceding paragraphs, refer to the following
check list prior to start-up.
●
Full voltage of the correct type, on a line not affected fay
the operation of other electrical appliances, "must be
available at the condensing unit junction box during
operation. Condensing units are designed to operate with a
voltage fluctuation of plus or minus 10% of the voltage
indicated on the cabinet electrical data plate. Burnout of a
condensing unit due to exceeding the high or low voltage
limits will void the factory warranty.
●
Check all refrigeration lines to make sure they are not
severely dented, kinked or rubbing.
●
If compressor is equipped with external mounts, back off
the hold down nuts to allow compressor to "float" freely on
springs.
●
Check condenser fan for freedom to rotate without
striking any stationary members.
●
Cabinet must be properly leveled.
●
Leak test all exposed tubing connections of refrigeration
system. Do not become alarmed if a trace of freon gas is
detected in the internal cabinet air. This may be due in the
freon used in expanding the foam insulation used in this
cabinet.
NOTE:
All motors are lifetime oiled and sealed. All self-
contained models are shipped from the factory with valves
opened ready for operation.
EXPANSION VALVE
Some models are available as remotes and are equipped
with an expansion valve system. The expansion valve is
located within the evaporator coil housing with both liquid
and suction lines extending out from the rear of the cabinet.
If the expansion valve needs to be replaced, it should be
done by qualified personnel of a competent refrigeration
company.
LOCATION OF SERIAL NUMBER/DATA PLATE
The serial data plate is mounted on the upper left interior
tank wall inside the cabinet.
NOTE:
When ordering replacement pars you must include
the complete cabinet model and serial numbers.
