Cleaning the condenser coil
The condenser coil, which is located directly behind the rear panel grill, must be checked
periodically. The frequency of cleaning depends on the operating environment. Air must be able to
freely circulate through the condenser, so the surface of the condenser must be kept free of dirt
and grease for proper system operation. Dirty condensers result in compressor failure and
product loss. If the condenser coil is dirty or blocked, follow this instruction:
• Disconnect the power supply
• Remove the lower grill on the rear of the cabinet
• In some models it will be necessary to remove screws anchoring
condensing unit to frame rails and carefully slide out.
• If the condenser has a housing cover, its screws has to be removed.
• Carefully clean dirt from the condenser using a vacuum cleaner of soft brush; never use a wire
brush.
• Heavier dust builds up may require compressed air to blow through the condenser coil.
• Replace the condenser cover, slide condensing unit back into position and tighten all screws.
• Finally, replace the lower rear panel and reconnect electrical power supply.
WARNING: Never use water for this cleaning procedure as water can damage the
electrical components located near or at the condenser coil.
Maintenance of doors / hinges
With the passage of time and the use of the doors, the hinges can move slightly. If you
notice that the door is starting to misalign, you must adjust the screws that attach the hinge
brackets to the cabinet.
