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 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 (4 to 6 weeks) or as and when required 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. Vacuum 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 and thoroughly dry.
If gasket replacement is required, start by fitting all the corners of a gaskets into place before working the rest of
the length of the gasket into the retainer. Failure to follow this procedure may result in the gasket stretching and
fitment not being possible.
