Checking Product Temperature
To accurately check the temperature of the product
stored in a refrigerated compartment, insert an
accurate thermometer into a sealable plastic (non-
breakable) bottle, partially filled with water. Tighten
the cap securely.
Place the bottle into the desired area for 24 hours.
Refrain from opening the unit during testing period.
After 24 hours, check the temperature of the water.
Adjust the control settings if necessary and re-test.
The units are pre-set to achieve the recommended
temperature range when installed in a 70°F
ambient environment. Factors which affect the
internal temperatures of the cabinet include the
following:
■
Temperature setting
■
Room temperature where installed
■
Number of times the door is opened and
closed
■
Length of time door is left opened
■
Adjacent compartment temperature
■
Style of door installed
■

■
Amount of time internal light is illuminated
■
Installation in direct sunlight or near a heat
source.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Shut off the electricity to the unit before
cleaning the condenser and other routine
maintenance.
Cleaning
To clean stainless steel exterior or interior surfaces,
use a soft, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to
wipe down the surfaces.
Glass doors can be cleaned using any standard
glass cleaner available on the market.
To clean interior non-metallic surfaces and
removable parts, wash with a mild solution of
soap and lukewarm water with a little baking soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water on
lights, control panel, and fan motor.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths on any
of the interior or exterior surfaces or removable
parts.
Cleaning the Condenser
The condenser should be cleaned every three
months. The condenser is located behind the toe
plate. Remove the toe plate and use a soft bristle
brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint. Avoid
damaging or crushing the condenser fins or tubing.
Upon completion, re-install the toe plate.
CAUTION
Failure to clean the condenser could result in
temperature loss or mechanical failure. Clean
this area every three months.
