Maintenance Tips
- Clean condenser coils every 30 days to maintain efficient cooling and reduce compressor strain.
- Maintain proper airflow (front/right ventilation clearance) to ensure stable 33°F–38°F operation.
- Wipe stainless steel interior and exterior daily using mild, non-abrasive cleaners.
- Inspect drawer gaskets regularly and replace if worn to preserve a tight temperature seal.
- Clean heavy-duty drawer slides and rollers to ensure smooth operation and sanitation.
- Keep drain lines clear to prevent water buildup, leaks, or ice formation inside the unit.
- Ensure unit is level and casters are locked for proper drawer alignment and sealing.
- Maintain required clearance (minimum 4” from cooking equipment heat source) to avoid heat damage and performance loss.
- Schedule routine professional servicing for compressor, fan motors, and refrigerant system longevity.
