MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Cabinet

Clean the inside of the cabinet and the doors weekly with a warm water solution of mild household liquid dishwashing detergent (such as Palmolive green or Ivory). Do not use anything containing grit, abrasive materials, bleach or harsh chemicals. Be cautious with new or improved formulas; use only after being well tested. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean soft cloth.

Gaskets

Door gaskets should be cleaned weekly using a warm water solution of mild household liquid dishwashing detergent (such as Palmolive green or Ivory). Never allow gaskets to contact concentrated cleaners or disinfectants. This can cause premature failure of the gasket material.

Condenser Coil

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING THE CONDENSING UNIT.

Check the condenser coil weekly. This surface must be kept free of dirt and grease for proper system operation. Remove the front trim panel and carefully vacuum or brush dirt and lint from the condenser coil. Replace the trim panel.

When needed, flush these components with fresh water. This should be a part of any routine maintenance program and can prolong the life of the equipment.
