MAINTENANCE

General safety rules

Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning procedures WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY associated with the compressor or cost to replace the compressor!
Proper cleaning of stainless steel requires soft cloths or plastic souring pads. Never use steel pads, wire brushes or scrapers!

Machine cleaning and maintenance routine

Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline or non-chloride cleaners. Any cleaner containing chlorides will damage the protective film of the stainless steel. Chlorides are also commonly found in hard water, salts, and household and industrial cleaners. If cleaner containing chlorides are used be sure to rinse repeatedly and dry thoroughly upon completion.
Routine cleaning of stainless steel can be done with soap and water. Extreme stains or grease should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner and plastic scrub pad. There are also stainless steel cleaners available which can restore and preserve the finish of the steels protective layer.
Never use and acid based cleaning solution! Many food products have an acidic content which can deteriorate the finish. Be sure to clean the ALL food products from any stainless steel surface. Common items include peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables.

Cleaning the Condenser Coil

Disconnect machine. Remove front bottom panel and carefully slide out the condensing unit. The condenser coil requires regular cleaning; recommended every 30-60 days, depending of the accumulation of dust and grease. If the buildup on the coil consists of only light dust and debris the condenser coil can be cleaned with a simple brush. Heavier dust build up may require a vacuum or even compressed air to blow though the condenser coil. If heavy grease is present there are de-greasing agents available for refrigeration use and specifically for the condenser coils.
The condenser coil may require a spray with the de-greasing agent and then blown through with compressed air.
Be sure all electrical and mechanical parts are dry before turning on the power.
Never use a high pressure water wash for this cleaning procedure as water can damage the electrical components located near or at the condenser coil. Do not place filter material in front of condenser coil. This material blocks airflow to the coil similar to having a dirty coil!
If you keep the Condenser clean you will minimize your service expense and lower your electrical costs. Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high temperatures and excessive run times. Continuous operation with dirty or clogged condenser coils can result in compressor failures.
To put back the condensing unit in its place, slide in the unit carefully. BE SURE DRAIN PIPE IS LOCATED OVER THE PAN. Replace front bottom panel.

Cleaning the Gasket

Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and also to keep the elasticity of the gasket.
Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm soapy water. Avoid full strength cleaning products on gaskets as this can cause them to become brittle and prevent proper seals. Also, never use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean the gasket which could possibly tear the gasket and rip the bellows.
Gaskets can easily be replaced and do not require the use of tools or authorized service persons.
The gaskets can be pulled out of the grove in the door and new gaskets can be “pressed” back into place.

Draining the Unit

Each unit has a drain located inside the unit which removes the condensation from the evaporator coil and evaporates it at an external condensate evaporator pan. Each drain can become loose or disconnected from moving or bumping the drain.
IF YOU NOTICE EXCESSIVE WATER ACCUMULATION ON THE INSIDE OF THE UNIT be sure the drain tube is connected from the evaporator housing to the condensate evaporator drain pan.
IF WATER IS COLLECTED UNDERNEATH THE UNIT you may want to check the condensate evaporator drain tube to be sure it is still located inside the drain pan. The leveling of the unit is important as the units are designed to drain properly when on a level surface, if your floor is not level this can also cause drain problems. Be sure all drain lines are free of obstructions; typically food product is found blocking drain lines causing water to back up and overflow the drain pans.

Machine disposal

The product’s life-cycle is around 7 to 10 year from first use and operation date.
This equipment is manufactured without dangerous or toxic materials. Some parts of the equipment are biodegradable.
The disposing after the product’s life-cycle shall be determined by the customer according to the rules and laws established in the city or State of residence.
REMEMBER TO TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
