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.
This will not be covered under warranty.
Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning procedures WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY

Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and to keep the

Gaskets can easily be replaced and do not require the use of tools or authorized service
personnel. To remove the gasket, pull the gasket towards you. To replace gasket, press the
gasket against the groove of the door the gasket will “snap” back into place.

maintenance personnel.
