Cleaning the Condenser
The condenser (located behind the front grille cover) should be cleaned every three (3) months. Use
a soft bristle brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint.
DANGER
FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT - RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Do not
damage the refrigeration tubes.
Avoid damaging or crushing the condenser fins or tubing.
CARE OF PAINTED SURFACES (IF APPLICABLE)CARE OF PAINTED SURFACES (IF APPLICABLE)
Hestan appliances are available in standard stainless steel, or 11 Hestan signature color finish options.
The tough powder-coating on these panels are commonly used on automotive parts, and commercial
and residential appliances because of their excellent chip resistance, and resistance to a variety of
chemicals. The finish should hold up well outdoors in most conditions. However, like any painted
surface, special care must be taken when cleaning this finish.
To clean your powder coated surface:
1. Carefully remove any loose deposits with a wet sponge.
2. Use a soft brush (non abrasive) or cloth, and a mild household detergent solution to remove dust,
salt and other deposits. Never use any solvent-based cleaners, stainless steel cleaners, heavy
degreasers, oven cleaners, etc. on the painted surfaces. They can permanently damage the paint.
3. Rinse off with clean fresh water and dry thoroughly.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONSADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Always keep the area at the front vent grille free of obstructions and debris. Backyard environments
are harsh on your appliance’s finish. Long exposure to sun, water, yard chemicals and the elements
could diminish the appearance of the stainless steel. This is very evident in ocean-front locations.
Our appliance materials have been tested in saline solutions with higher salinity than seawater.
They have also been tested by exposure to highly acidic foods. During and after these tests, we
found these materials were able to withstand exposure over prolonged periods of time. However,
the above-mentioned corrosive substances, along with neglect, can lead to a situation whereby
conditions might combine to cause some damage to occur.
For those in desert communities, wind-driven sand is highly abrasive and constant exposure will
eventually pit and scratch the surface.
