FWE MOBILE REFRIGERATED AIR SCREEN

GENERAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT OR PRIOR TO ANY SERVICE.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER:
The most important thing you can do to insure a long, reliable service life for your FWE Air Screen
Refrigerator is to regularly clean the condenser (compressor) 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 efficiently, use less energy, and achieve top performance values.
To clean the condenser, first disconnect electrical power to the cabinet and remove the front and/or rear
louver assembly. To remove the front louver assembly simply pull the assembly down and out, the louver
assembly is held in place with magnets. To remove the rear louver assembly, remove all screws located
on the louver assembly. Once the screws are removed the louver assembly can be removed.
Removing front louver assembly allows 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 soft brush or compressed air to blow this clear.
*NOTE: 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, on rear louver assembly, which hold it in place.
GENERAL CLEANING GUIDE OF STAINLESS STEEL:
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. A stainless steel polish may be used to renew and protect finish.
• Do not use gritty or 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.
• Check the ingredients of cleaning solutions or disinfectants used as they may contain chlorinated solvents.
Always read the label of the cleaning solutions. Check for warnings about use on stainless steel products.
Repeated use of chlorinated solvents may cause a chemical reaction with the stainless steel, which will
damage the surface and cause rusting.
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),
or a paint thinner may be used. Unit must be then cleaned with warm water to remove any baking soda or
thinner cleaner residue.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR:
For stubborn stains, the use of baking soda is recommended. Use on breaker strips as well as door gaskets.
• For routine cleaning, it is NOT necessary to remove the interior air flow tunnels (left and right sides).
These panels are critical to the performance of the Air Curtain.
• Door gasket is removable for cleaning when necessary.
AIR FLOW TUNNELS: Should the situation arise where the air flow tunnels needed to be removed
(not required for routine cleaning) to clean a major spill that has flowed behind the air flow vents,
lift pivot upward on retention device to loosen tunnel.
ROUTINE VISUAL CHECK:
1. Inspect door gaskets. They should "snap" against door jamb before closure is complete.
Visually check that the gaskets are sealed in their retainers and inspect for wear and tear.
Replace if gaskets are torn or broken.
2. Inspect bumpers for damage or wear.
3. Inspect cord for damage or wear.
4. Remove any debris such as mop strings,
hair and hair nets from casters and
replace when tread is 1/4" thick.
Experiencing White Powder Residue?
Your cleanser contains chlorine.
Do NOT use cleansers containing chlorine.
