Maintenance
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
• For efficient operation, it is important that the condenser surface be kept free of dust, dirt and lint.
• We recommend cleaning the condenser coil and fins at least once per month.
• Clean with a commercial condenser coil cleaner. Brush the condenser fins from top to bottom, not side to
side.
• After cleaning, straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
CLEANING THE FAN BLADES AND MOTOR
If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. If it is necessary to wash the fan blades, cover
the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.
Installation
CABINET LOCATION GUIDELINES
INSTALL THE UNIT ON A STRONG AND LEVELED SURFACE
• Unit may make unpleasant noises if surface is uneven.
• Unit may malfunction if surface is uneven.
INSTALL THE UNIT IN AN INDOOR, WELL VENTILATED AREA
• Unit performs more efficiently in a well ventilated area.
• For best performance, please maintain a clearance of 4” from the back of the unit.
• Not to be used outdoors.
AVOID INSTALLATION IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AND/OR DUSTY AREA
• Humidity can cause the unit to rust and decrease efficiency of the unit.
• Dust collected on the condenser coil will cause the unit to malfunction. Clean the condenser at least once a
month with a brush or clean cloth.
SELECT A LOCATION AWAY FROM HEAT AND MOISTURE-GENERATING EQUIPMENT
• High ambient temperatures will cause the compressor to overwork, leading to higher energy bills and
gradual breakdown of the unit.
ELECTRICAL
Please ensure that the required voltage of the compressor is being supplied at all times. Low or high voltage
can detrimentally affect the refrigeration unit. All units should be plugged into a grounded a properly-sized
electrical outlet with appropriate overcurrent protection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the rating
plate. Please make sure that your unit has its own dedicated outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
