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

GASKET
Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and to keep the
elasticity of the gasket. Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm soap and water.
Avoid the use of chemical cleaning products on gaskets as this can cause them to become
brittle and prevent proper sealing. Also, never use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean the
gasket which could possibly tear the gasket and rip the bellows.
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.

or sagging, this can cause the hinge to pull out of the frame which may damage the doors and
the door hinges. In some cases, this fix or adjustment may require a qualified service agent or
maintenance personnel.

DRAIN
Each unit comes equipped with a drain pan located outside the unit. The drain pan catches the
condensation produced inside the evaporator coil. If the drain hose become loose or
disconnected from moving or bumping the unit, you may find a puddle of water inside/outside
of the unit. Replace or fix any lose connections.
IF YOU NOTICE EXCESSIVE WATER ACCUMULATION ON THE INSIDE OF THE UNIT, be sure the
