- Keep right-side and rear ventilation paths clear to ensure proper airflow and stable operation.
- Maintain required clearance (minimum 4") from cooking equipment heat sources to prevent performance loss or warranty issues.
- Wipe stainless steel exterior and interior daily with mild, non-abrasive cleaners to prevent corrosion and buildup.
- Inspect drawer gaskets regularly and replace if worn to maintain a tight seal and consistent 33°F–38°F temperature range.
- 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 buildup inside the unit.
- Ensure unit is level and casters are locked for proper drawer alignment and sealing performance.
