4.1
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!
4.2
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.
4.2.1
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 air-flow 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
