Cleaning of the condenser
The condenser, located behind the back grille of the device, should be checked regularly. Cleaning
frequency will depend on the working environment. Air must flow freely through the condenser, so its surface
must be free of dirt and grease. Dirty condensers cause compressor fault and product loss. If the condenser
battery is dirty or blocked, follow the steps below:
•
Disconnect the device from the mains.
•
Remove the back grille from the unit.
•
On some models, it will be necessary to remove the screws that affix the
condensing unit to the skirting board, and remove it in order to clean the
condenser.
•
If the condenser has a protective case, it must be unscrewed and removed.
•
Once the surface of the condenser is accessible, it should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush.
Do not use metal brushes.
•
If the dirt is excessive, compressed air can be used for cleaning.
•
After cleaning, reinsert the protective case, return the condensing unit to its original position, and re-attach all
screws.
•
Finally, replace the rear grille and connect the device to the mains.
WARNING!: Do not use water to clean the condenser, as it may damage nearby electrical
components.
