Interior Cleaning

The interior can be cleaned using soap and warm water. If
this isn't sufficient, try ammonia and water or a nonabrasive
liquid cleaner.
GASKETS
Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and
mildew build up and also to retain the elasticity of the
gasket. Clean them with water and mild soap (not citrus
based). Avoid full strength cleaning products on gaskets as
this can cause them to become brittle and crack. Never use
sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean the gasket. Gaskets
can be easily replaced and do not require the use of tools
or an authorized service person. The gaskets are dart style
and can be pulled out of the groove in the door. Place
gasket in warm water to make the material more pliable for
installation. Dry and press into place.
PREVENTING BLOWER COIL CORROSION
To help prevent corrosion of the blower coil, store all acidic
items, such as pickles and tomatoes, in seal-able containers.
Immediately wipe up all spills.

Exterior Cleaning
Never use an acid based cleaning solution on exterior
panels! Many food products have an acidic content,
which can deteriorate the finish. Be sure to clean the
stainless steel surfaces of ALL food products.
Clean the area around the unit as often as necessary to
maintain cleanliness and efficient operation.
Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth rinsed in water to remove
dust and dirt from the outside of the unit. Always rub with
the "grain" of the stainless steel to avoid marring the finish.
If a greasy residue persists, use a damp cloth rinsed in a
mild dish soap and water solution. Wipe dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
Never use steel wool or abrasive pads for cleaning. Never
use chlorinated, citrus based or abrasive cleaners.
Stainless steel exterior panels have a clear coating that
is stain resistant and easy to clean. Products containing
abrasives will damage the coating and scratch the panels.
Daily cleaning may be followed by an application of
stainless steel cleaner which will eliminate water spotting
and fingerprints. Early signs of stainless steel breakdown
are small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean thoroughly
and start to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt to
restore the steel.
Wipe casters with a damp cloth to prevent corrosion.
DRAIN
Each refrigerated unit has a drain located inside the unit
that removes the condensation from the evaporator coil
and routes it to an external condensate evaporator pan.
Each drain can become loose or disconnected during
normal use. If you notice water accumulation on the inside
of the unit, be sure the drain tube is connected to the
evaporator drain pan. If water is collecting underneath
the unit, make sure the end of the drain tube is in the
condensate evaporator. The leveling of the unit is important
as the units are designed to drain properly when level. Be
sure all drain lines are free of obstructions.
