This apliance is designed for the laboratory product storage so it is important to keep it clean. The equipment is thoroughly cleaned at the factory before being shipped. We recommend, however, to clean the interior cabinet before the first start up of the appliance. Before attempting any cleaning operation make sure the power cord is disconnected.
- Cleaning product: Use soft clean cloth wet with water and neutral detergent only. Do not use solvent or bleach.
- Rinsing: Use a cloth or sponge soaked with fresh clean water. Do not use water jet.
- Frequency: Once a week or at different intervals in accordance with the type of product.
The condenser is a heat exchanger. If it is dirty or clogged the air cannot circulate freely through the same, it cannot discharge heat properly so reducing proportionally the performance and the efficiency of the refrigeration system. For those reasons it is important to keep clean the condenser coil, typically monthly.
- Always switch off the unit and disconnect power cord before cleaning, it is dangerous to do it with power ON: fan may start suddenly at any time.
Use a convenient ladder to reach the condenser. Use an air jet or vacuum with a soft dry brush if necessary and remove any dust or fluff from the heat exchanger fins. After cleaning, start the equipment.
- During the cleaning operation wear gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself from any injury.
Keep clean the sliding door housing to avoid the door can't close completely. Use a soft clean cloth or a soft brush in order to remove any residuals can block the door to slide in the full closure position.
