Maintenance Tips

• Clean condenser coils every 30 days to maintain efficient cooling and prevent compressor strain.
• Keep right-side ventilation and airflow grills clear for proper heat dissipation and stable operation.
• Maintain required clearance from cooking equipment (about 4") to prevent heat damage and performance loss.
• Wipe stainless steel surfaces 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 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 formation inside drawers.
• Ensure the unit is level and casters are locked for proper drawer alignment and sealing.
• Schedule routine professional servicing to extend compressor life and maintain peak refrigeration performance.
