VII. CARE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING
ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT OR PRIOR
TO ANY SERVICE.
VII. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER:
The most important thing you can do to insure
a long, reliable service life for your Traulsen is
to regularly clean the condenser coil. The
condensing unit requires regularly scheduled
cleaning to keep the finned condenser clean
of lint and dust accumulation. Keeping the
condenser clean allows the cabinet to
operate more efficiently and use less energy.
To clean the condenser, first disconnect electri-
cal power to the cabinet and remove the front
and/or rear louver assembly. To remove this,
remove the screws located on louver assembly.
Once the screws are removed, the panel can be
removed allowing full access to the front facing
condenser. Vacuum any dirt, lint, or dust from
the finned condenser coil, the compressor and
other cooling system parts. If significant dirt is
clogging the condenser fins, use brush or
compressed air to blow this clear. Care should
be taken not to bend any of the condenser
fins, as this will reduce performance and
compressor life. Replace louver assembly
and screws which hold it in place.
VII. b - CLEANING THE EXTERIOR:
Exterior stainless steel should be cleaned
with warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth.
Apply with a dampened cloth and wipe in
the direction of the metal grain.
Avoid the use of strong detergents and gritty,
abrasive cleaners as they may tend to mar and
scratch the surface. Do NOT use cleansers
containing chlorine, this may promote
corrosion of the stainless steel.
Care should also be taken to avoid splashing
the unit with water containing chlorinated
cleansers, when mopping the floor around
the unit.
For stubborn odor spills, use baking soda and
water (mixed to a 1 TBSP baking soda to 1 pint
water ratio).
VII. c - CLEANING THE INTERIOR:
For cleaning stainless steel interiors, the use of
baking soda as described in section "VII. b" is
recommended. Use on breaker strips as well as
door gaskets. All interior fittings are removable
without tools to facilitate cleaning.
VIII. a - SERVICE INFORMATION:
Before calling for service, please check the
following:
If the unit is NOT COOLING down to the proper
temperatures, verify that the coil is defrosted.
Push the "momentary defrost" button
on the control panel. Allowing proper
defrosting of the coil will allow proper
performance in capacity.
