CAUTION: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect power 

whenever servicing unit. More than one disconnect may be 

required to de-energize unit.

Stainless steel appliance wipes are recommended for 

wiping down both the bottom panel and the cabinet.

Keep your air curtain operating at peak efficiency by cleaning 

the blower wheels, motor(s) and intake screen. Buildup of dust 

on the blower wheels can cause vibration, noise and excessive 

wear on the motor bearings. The frequency of cleaning will 

depend on the environment where the unit is operating.

Dirty, dusty or greasy environments could require a cleaning 

schedule of once every month. If the environment is not that 

dirty, the unit(s) should be scheduled for cleaning a minimum 

of once every six months. The air inlet filter typically requires

cleaning every three to six months.

VIII. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

CAUTION: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect power 

whenever servicing unit. More than one disconnect may 

be required to de-energize unit.

Any service performed on the 

ARCHITECTURAL ELITE 

Series air 

curtain 

MUST 

be done by qualified personnel. 

Berner air curtains 

require very little servicing. All parts are easily accessible for 

periodic inspection and maintenance. Units should be cleaned 

at least twice a year.  Your particular application (the amount of 

dirt and dust in the air) and location of the unit(s) will determine 

how often your unit(s) will need to be cleaned and serviced. All 

motors have permanently lubricated, sealed, sleeve bearings 

and require no maintenance.
