Maintenance

WARNING Shut off the electricity to the unit before cleaning the condenser and doing other routine maintenance.
CAUTION NEVER use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths on any interior or exterior surfaces or removable parts.
CAUTION Avoid damaging or crushing the con denser fin or tubing.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE & CLEANING

General
Stainless steel is a “passive” metal because it contains other metals like chromium, nickel, and manganese that stabilize the atoms. Chromium provides an invisible passive film that covers the steel surface, acting as a shield against corrosion. As long as the film is intact and not contaminated, the metal is passive and stainless. If the passive film of stainless steel has been broken, the equipment can start to corrode and rust.
Three materials or processes can break down stainless steel’s passive layer and allow corrosion to occur:

  • Mechanical abrasion
  • Deposits and water
  • Chlorides

Mechanical abrasion refers to items that will scratch a steel surface. Steel pads, wire brushes, and scrapers are prime examples. Water comes out of the faucet in varying degrees of hardness. Hard water may leave spots. When allowed to sit, these deposits will break down the passive chromium layer and rust stainless steel. Other deposits from food preparation must be promptly removed with an appropriate cleaning agent. Chlorides are found nearly everywhere. They are in water, food, and table salt. Household and industrial cleaners are the worst offenders.

Preventing Stainless Steel Rust

Use non-abrasive tools to clean stainless steel products. Soft cloths and plastic scouring pads will not harm the steel’s passive layer. Clean with polish lines. Some stainless steels have visible polishing lines or “grain”. When visible lines are present, always scrub in a motion parallel to the lines. When the grain cannot be seen, polish in a consistent straight pattern and not in a circular motion.

Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride-containing cleaners. While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an ever-increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you are not sure of chloride content in the cleaner being used, contact your cleaner supplier. If your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask your supplier for an alternative.

Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salt; it also can attack stainless steel and cause pitting and rusting. Keep food equipment clean. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride cleaners at recommended strength. Clean frequently to avoid build-up of hard, stubborn stains. The single most likely cause of damage is chlorides in the water. Remember, adding heat to cleaners that contain chlorides dramatically increases their effect on stainless steel. If chlorinated cleaners are used, immediately rinse and wipe equipment and supplies dry.

The sooner you wipe standing water, especially when it contains cleaning agents, the better. After wiping the equipment down, allow it to air dry. Oxygen helps maintain the stainless steel passive film. Glass panels may be cleaned using any standard glass cleaner available on the market. To clean interior and exterior non-metallic surfaces and removable parts, wash with a mild solution of soap and lukewarm water with a little baking soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water on the lights, controllers, fan motors, and unfinished wood wine rack faces.

Defrosting the Unit

HB24FS4 models are equipped with a 6-hour evaporator automatic hot gas to defrost the system to allow maintenance-free operation of the cooling system. HC24FS4 models are equipped with a 6-hour evaporator automatic hot gas to defrost the system to allow maintenance-free operation of the cooling system. Additionally, there is a manual, momentary close switch (see Fig. 2) located to the left of the digital temperature control inside the cabinet that actuates a 6-hour long cabinet defrost to clear ice buildup on frosted or chilled glasses, mugs or plates.

To start the cabinet defrost, press and hold the momentary switch for at least 3 seconds until the digital controller display reads ‘dEF’ and the orange fan icon illuminates. After the 6-hour-long cabinet defrosts completes, the unit will automatically resume normal operation. All other models employ off-cycle defrost.

Cleaning the Condenser
DANGER Flammable Refrigerant. Risk of fire or explosion. Do not damage refrigeration tubes.
The condenser (located behind the front grille cover) should be cleaned every three (3) months. Use a soft bristle brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint.
