8. Preventative Maintenance
• As your EvaKool is a portable unit it is likely to be subjected to a variety of different
operating conditions.
• Accordingly in order to ensure maximum operating efficiency we recommend that
the unit is regularly inspected by an approved EvaKool service agent. See warranty
statement.
• Prior to commencing any maintenance ensure the unit is not operating and is
disconnected from a power source.
• The unit is designed so preventative maintenance is easy to undertake.
• In the case of RF models, simply remove the 6 screws holding the compressor cover in
place, drop the cover forward and using a small brush, vacuum or compressed air, clean
any dust or dirt from the condenser coils.
•
DO NOT
USE WATER TO CLEAN THE CONDENSER COILS. FAILURE TO REGULARLY CLEAN
THE COILS MAY VOID THE WARRANTY.
• If the unit is exposed to rain or water, remove the cover and dry as necessary.
The condensing coil in your refrigerator is like a radiator in your car. If the fan that is
cooling it stops, or the fins in the coil get blocked with dirt and fluff, the compressor
will overheat and cut out on its thermal protection.
