Maintenance
Cleaning
EXTERIOR
Clean cabinet exterior surfaces with a solution of mild
soap and water. To minimize streaking, follow with a
fresh water rinse.
If stainless steel becomes discolored, scrub only in the
direction of the finished grain.
For high shine, see your kitchen equipment dealer for a
high-quality stainless steel polish.
If the cabinet has a synthetic cutting board, remove it by
simply lifting the board straight up. Make sure the board
and the metal cabinet surface are completely dry before
replacing the cutting board.
The condensate evaporator pan, located underneath the
cabinet, should be cleaned periodically with soapy water
to remove any mineral deposits.
INTERIOR
Clean cabinet interior surfaces with warm water and
baking soda, applied with a cloth or sponge.
The air duct and shelf support standards can be
removed without special tools to facilitate cleaning.
Wash door gaskets weekly with a mild soap and water
solution, followed by a fresh water rinse.
While cleaning, check the door gaskets for proper
sealing. Adjust if needed.
Cleaning the Condenser Coil
For efficient operation, it is very important to clean the
condenser coil surface and keep it free of dust, dirt, and
lint. McCall recommends checking the condition of the
condenser coil once a month.
The condensing unit fan draws dust, lint and small
particles to the condenser coil, where it forms a “blanket”
on the coil surface. This is normal and should be
periodically removed.
CONDENSER CLEANING PROCEDURES
One or more of the following methods may be used to
clean the condenser coil surface, depending upon the
extent of the build-up on the fins.
Method 1
Remove light build-up with a soft brush or a vacuum with
a brush attachment. Brush the condenser fins from top
to bottom, not from side to side. Shine a light through the
fins to check for dirt inside the condenser.
Method 2
Clean moderately dirty fins with compressed air, blowing
from the inside out. Follow by brushing, if necessary.
Method 3
Clean with a commercial condenser coil cleaner,
available from a kitchen equipment dealer. Follow the
directions and precautions supplied with the cleaner.
! Caution
Do not use steel wool, caustic soap, or abrasive
cleaners, as these may damage the metal finish.
Alcohol-based cleaners may damage the nylon door
cams.
! Caution
Do not clean cabinet interior surfaces with any
cleaning product not specifically approved for use
where food may come into contact.
! Caution
Do not use steel wool, caustic soap, or abrasive
cleaners, as these may damage the metal finish.
! Warning
Disconnect electric power before cleaning. Failure
to follow this warning could result in serious injury or
death.
! Caution
Failure to clean and maintain the condenser coil
properly will result in reduced air circulation through
the condenser fins. This will cause reduced
efficiency, high operating pressures, and can
shorten compressor life.
! Warning
Condenser fins are sharp. Use care when working
around them.
