CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced unit
performance or unit shutdown.
High velocity water from a pressure washer or garden hose,
or compressed air should never be used to clean a coil. The
force of the water or air jet will bend the fin edges and in-
crease airside pressure drop.
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in accelerated cor-
rosion of unit parts.
Harsh chemicals, household bleach or acid or basic clean-
ers should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor coils of
any kind. These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out of
the coil and can accelerate corrosion at the fin/tube inter-
face where dissimilar materials are in contact. If there is
dirt below the surface of the coil, use the Totaline environ-
mentally balanced coil cleaner.
