Cleaning The Air Filter And Condenser - Manitowoc RNS0244 Technician's Handbook

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER AND CONDENSER

Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the
electric service switch before cleaning the condenser.
The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when cleaning
them.
Air-Cooled Condenser
Clean the condenser at least every six months. Follow the
steps below.
1. Some models have a washable filter. Clean the filter
with a mild soap and water solution.
2. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check
for dirt between the fins. Blow compressed air
through the condenser fins from the inside or use
a commercial condenser coil cleaner. Follow the
directions and cautions supplied with the cleaner.
3. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
4. Carefully wipe off the fan blades and motor with
a soft cloth. Do not bend the fan blades. If the fan
blades are excessively dirty, wash with warm, soapy
water and rinse thoroughly.
If you are cleaning the condenser fan blades with water,
cover the fan motor to prevent water damage.
