Cleaning

Insufficient cleaning will cause that the cabinet will not work at optimum perfomance, or
eventually it will be defective.
Before cleaning, the cabinet should always be disconnected.
Do not flush the cabinet with water, do not use water jet or steam hose
as this may cause short-circuits in the electrical system.
Cleansing agents containing chlorine or compounds of chlorine as well
as other corrosive means, are not to be used , as they might cause
corrosion to the stainless panels of the cabinet and the evaporator.
The compressor compartment and in particular the condenser must be kept free
from dust and dirt. This is best done with a vacuum cleaner and a brush.
The air filters on the condenser and the front panel can be removed and cleaned
in a dishwasher at max. 50°C.
For the external maintenance – use stainless steel polish.
The cabinet should be cleaned internally with a mild soap solution at suitable
intervals and checked thoroughly before it is put into operation again.

Door gaskets

This chapter deals with the importance of a well-functioning door gasket.
Gaskets are an important part of a refrigerator/freezer. Gaskets with reduced functionality,
reduces the tightness of the cabinet. Reduced tightness might cause increased humidity,
internal icing, an iced up evaporator (leading to reduced refrigeration capacity), and in
worst case reduced lifecycle of the cabinet.
Therefore it is important to be aware of the condition of the gasket. Regular inspection is
recommended.
The gasket should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap solution.
If a gasket needs replacement, contact your supplier.

Long term storage

If the cabinet is taken out of operation, and need to be prepared for long-term storage,
clean the inside compartment, the door and door gasket thorougly with a hot soapy damp
cloth.
Eventual remnants of food could create mould.
