CONDENSER MAINTENANCE (Not applicable to SCLP-3004C)
IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION
Air is pulled through the condenser continuously during operation. Along with this air come
impurities like dust, lint, grease, etc.
These impurities accumulate in the condenser. Dirty condensers result in inefficient operation,
compressor failure and potential product loss
which are not covered by warranty
.
If you keep the condenser clean, you will minimize your service expense and lower your
electrical costs.
The condenser requires scheduled cleaning every 30 day
(or more frequently
in dirty environments).
Proper cleaning involves removing dust from the condenser. This can be accomplished using a
soft brush, by vacuuming, and by blowing through the condenser coils with pressurized air,
CO2, or nitrogen.
REMEMBER, THE CLEANING OF THE CONDENSER IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
AND IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILURE TO KEEP THE
CONDENSER CLEAN IS ALSO NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

the coil fins and around the coil ends.
