Maintenance Tips
- Clean condenser coils every 30 days to maintain strong cooling efficiency and prevent compressor overheating.
- Ensure right-side and front ventilation openings are clear for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Wipe stainless steel exterior and interior daily using mild, non-abrasive cleaners to prevent corrosion.
- Inspect drawer gaskets regularly and replace if worn to maintain a tight seal and stable 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 buildup, odors, or ice formation inside drawers.
- Maintain unit level and casters locked for proper drawer alignment and sealing performance.
- Ensure minimum clearance (about 4") from cooking equipment heat sources to avoid performance loss and warranty issues.
- Schedule routine professional servicing for compressor, fans, and refrigerant system reliability and longevity.
