Maintenance
WARNING
Shut off the electricity to the unit before cleaning the condenser and other
routine maintenance.
CAUTION NEVER use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or cloths on any interior or exterior surfaces
or removeable parts.
CAUTION Avoid damaging or crushing the con denser fins 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 br eak 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, polished 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 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 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 defrost
system to allow maintenance-free operation of the cooling system.
HC24FS4 models are equipped with a 6-hour evaporator automatic hot gas defrost
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
displays reads ‘dEF’ and the orange fan icon illuminates. After the 6-hour-
long cabinet defrost 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.
