4.2 General Cleaning
Routine cleaning of freezer should be carried out. The surfaces can be cleaned by wiping down with clean
water and a mild detergent using a sponge.
4.3 Condenser Cleaning
Cleaning the condenser is one of the most important
tasks to ensure the unit operates properly and
efficiently. A clogged condenser often results in poor
performance and raised power consumption. In some
cases, clogged condenser can choke the system’s air
intake and cause severe damage to the compressors.
To clean the condenser, pull open the left and right
bottom doors. Use a household type of vacuum
cleaner to vacuum the fins. Make sure you can clearly
see through the fins after the vacuum operation is
completed.
The condenser should be cleaned once every 6
months or more frequently if the area is dusty
4.4 Air Filter Cleaning
The air filters are the first line of defence against dust
and dirt might be pulled into the condenser. It is
necessary to inspect and clean the air filters on a
regular basis.
To clean the air filter, open both left and right bottom
doors (there are two air filters) and wash in water. Let
them dry and place them back in the air filter holders.
