Cleaning And Maintenance - Foster Eco 410 Original Operation Instructions

GB
Defrost
LR150 & LR410 models have static freezer shelves and require manual defrosts. The entire stored product
should be removed and placed in a separate freezer. Switch off the mains electrical supply and leave the cabinet
door open while placing a bowl inside to catch the water as it defrosts. Once fully defrosted dry the interior of the
cabinet and switch on the mains supply.
Do not replace frozen food into the cabinet until it reaches its normal operating temperature.
All other models are fitted with a fully automatic defrost system to ensure that the evaporator coil or cooling plate
remains free from ice in normal use. 'Melt water' is automatically evaporated using the heat from the refrigeration
system.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Important: Before cleaning, the unit should be put into standby and then the power supply should be
turned off at the mains. Please do not plug or unplug the unit with wet hands. Only when cleaning has
been completed and the unit is dry should the cabinet be turned back on at the mains.
Suitable P.P.E (Personnel Protective Equipment) should be worn at all times.
Regular Maintenance:
> As and when required remove all product and shelving (beware of cold and or sharp components) from
the unit. Clean exterior and interior surfaces with mild liquid detergent, following the directions on the
pack at all times. Rinse surfaces with a damp cloth containing clean water. Never use wire wool, scouring
pads/powders or high alkaline cleaning agents i.e bleaches, acids and chlorines as these may cause
damage.
> Condenser Cleaning:
This should take place on a regular basis or as and when required (4 to 6 weeks) by a competent/trained
personnel.
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dirt/dust. If there are any stubborn grease deposits left on
or through the condenser call your supplier to carry out a full service (this is normally chargeable). Failure
to maintain the condenser may invalidate the warranty of the condensing unit and cause premature failure
of the motor/compressor. Do not use a wire brush to clean the condenser. Hoover or brush the air filter
(where fitted).
> All gaskets should be inspected on a regular basis and replaced if damaged. To clean, wipe with a warm
damp soapy cloth followed by a clean damp cloth. Finally thoroughly dry.
> Removable shelves and their supports can be removed for cleaning. The shelves are dishwasher safe;
however the vertical supports should be cleaned with warm soapy water then rinsed and dried.
