REFRIGERATORS AND FREEZERS
The interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and warm water. If this isn't sufficient, try ammonia
and water or a nonabrasive liquid cleaner When cleaning the exterior, always rub with the "grain" of
the stainless steel to avoid marring the finish.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the stainless steel and plastic and can damage
the breaker strips and gaskets
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
The condenser coil requires regular cleaning at least every 90 days. In some instances, you may find
that there is a large amount of debris and dust or grease accumulated prior to the 90 day time frame
In these cases the condenser coil should be cleaned every 30 days
If the build up on the coil consists of only light dust and debris the condenser coil can be cleaned with
a simple brush, heavier dust build up may require a vacuum or even compressed air to blow through
the condenser coil
If heavy grease is present, there are de-greasing agents available for refrigeration use and specifically
for the condenser coils The condenser coil may require a spray with the de-greasing agent and then
blown through with compressed air
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high temperatures and excessive run
times, continuous operation with dirty or clogged condenser coils can result in compressor failures
Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning procedures will void any warranties associated with the
compressor or cost to replace the compressor
Never use a high pressure water wash for this cleaning procedure
as water can damage the electrical components located near or
at the condenser coil.

In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the condenser fins must be cleaned of
dust, dirt and grease regularly It is recommended that this be done at least every three months If
conditions are such that the condenser is totally blocked in three months, the frequency of cleaning
should be increased Clean the condenser with a vacuum cleaner or stiff brush If extremely dirty, a
commercially available condenser cleaner may be required
STAINLESS STEEL CARE AND CLEANING
To prevent discoloration of rust on stainless steel, several important steps need to be taken First, it is
important to understand the properties of stainless steel Stainless steel contains 70-80% iron which will
rust. It also contains 12-30% chromium which forms an invisible passive film over the steel's surface
which acts as a shield against corrosion
stainless. If the film is broken or contaminated, outside elements can begin to breakdown the steel
and begin to form rust of discoloration
Proper cleaning of stainless steel requires soft cloths or plastic
scouring pads. NEVER USE STEEL PADS, WIRE BRUSHES OR SCRAPERS!
