Maintenance Tips
  • Clean condenser coils every 30 days to maintain peak cooling efficiency and prevent compressor strain.
  • Ensure proper airflow by keeping right-side and rear ventilation areas clear at all times.
  • Maintain required clearance (minimum 4") from cooking equipment heat sources to prevent performance loss and warranty issues.
  • Wipe stainless steel surfaces daily with mild, non-abrasive cleaners to prevent corrosion and buildup.
  • Inspect drawer gaskets regularly and replace if worn to maintain a tight 33°F–38°F temperature seal.
  • Clean drawer slides and rollers to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear in high-use kitchens.
  • Keep drain lines clear to prevent water pooling, odors, or ice formation inside drawers.
  • Ensure unit is level and casters are locked for proper sealing and drawer alignment.
  • Schedule routine professional servicing to maintain compressor, fan, and refrigerant system reliability.
