Operation and Maintenance

MAINTENANCE

Little maintenance is required other than keeping the
unit clean. The evaporator at the back of the compart-
ment is an off-cycle-defrost type. Any frost that devel-
ops during operation melts and drains away when the
unit cycles off. Water from the evaporator drains into a
pan at the bottom of the cabinet and evaporates into
the room air.
Routine Maintenance
The following procedures can be followed to ensure
proper operation of the 315W.
1. About once a year check the drain trough and hose
by pouring about a half-cup of water into it to be
sure it drains well. (See Figure 3-7)
2. The outside of the cabinet can be kept clean by
wiping it with mild soap and water.
3. The inside liner can be washed using any non-
petroleum based soap and water.
4. The glass door can be cleaned with any glass
cleaner.
5. The door gasket can be removed for cleaning by
pulling it out of its channel (See Figure 3-4).
6. The condenser should be vacuumed approximately
every 3 to 6 months to remove any dust or lint that
may have been drawn to it. To access the con-
denser, use a phillips screwdriver to remove the
kickplate. Then, use an accessory probe on the
vacuum cleaner hose to reach back into the left
side of the compressot area to remove any lint from
the front of the condenser fins. (See Figure 3-5
and Figure 3-6)
Take care to not damage the condenser fins. Doing
so will reduce the efficiency of the appliance.
