CLEANING THE

AIR-COOLED

CONDENSER

WARNING: Electrical hazard

Before performing any work on this item, dis- connect and lock out electrical power sources to prevent injury from unexpected energization or startup.

CAUTION: Hot Surfaces

Always protect yourself from hot surfaces when working on the Portable Chiller, especially when working on or around the compressor and con- denser. These devices can reach up to 160 °F (71 °C). Allow these devices to cool before per- forming any maintenance or troubleshooting.

The air-cooled condenser can accumulate dirt and clog quick- ly if it is run in a dusty or dirty environment. A clogged con- denser increases refrigerant discharge pressure, lowers perfor- mance, and may cause the fan motors and compressor to over- heat.

1	Inspect the coils.
	Use a flashlight to check between coil surfaces.

2	Clean the dirty coils with a soft brush.

3	Flush with cool water or a commercial
	coil cleaner.

If your unit has the optional air filter supplied by Conair, clean it using water or air. Replace as needed.
