Use and Care Manual

always good to rub with the grain of the steel. There are also stainless steel cleaners

available which can restore and preserve the finish of the protective layer.

Early signs of stainless steel breakdown can consist of small pits and cracks. If this has

begun, clean thoroughly and start to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt to re-

store the passivity of the steel.

Gasket Maintenance

Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and also to

keep the elasticity of the gasket. Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm

soapy water. Avoid full strength cleaning products on gaskets as this can cause them

to become brittle and prevent proper seals. Also, never use sharp tools or knives to

scrape or clean the gasket which could possibly tear the gasket and rip the bel-

lows.Gaskets can easily be replaced and do not require the use of tools or author-

ized service persons, The gaskets are "Dart" style and can be pulled out of the grove

in the door and new gaskets can be "pressed" back into place.

Doors/Hinges

Over time and with heavy use doors the hinges may become loose. If it is noticed

that the door is beginning to sag, it may become necessary to tighten the screws

that mount the hinge brackets to the frame of the unit. If the doors are loose or sag-

ging this can cause the hinge to pull out of the frame which may damage both the

doors and the door hinges. In some cases this can require qualified service agents or

maintenance personnel.

Drain Maintenance

Each unit has a drain located inside the unit which removes the condensation from

the evaporator coil and evaporates it at an external condensate evaporator pan.

Each drain can become loose or disconnected from moving or bumping the drain. If

you notice excessive water accumulation on the inside of the unit be sure the drain

tube is connected from the evaporator housing to the condensate evaporator drain

pan. If water is collected underneath the unit you may want to check the conden-

sate evaporator drain tube to be sure it is still located inside the drain pan. The level-

ing of the unit is important as the units are designed to drain properly when on a level

surface, if your floor is not level this can also cause drain problems. Be sure all drain

lines are free of obstructions typically food product is found blocking drain lines caus-

Never use an acid based cleaning solution! Many food products

have an acidic content which can deteriorate the finish. Be sure

to clean the stainless steel surfaces of ALL food products.
