3. MAINTENANCE
a. Cleaning Cabinet Exterior: Cabinets should be cleaned with a solution of mild soap and water. Do not use caustic soap
or abrasive cleaners, since these might damage the cabinet finish. If stainless steel surfaces become discolored, scrub by
rubbing only in direction of the finish grain. The anodized aluminum interior and exterior should be cleaned with mild soap
and water. Do not use steel wool.
b. Cleaning Interior Surfaces: The inside of the cabinet is coated with baked-on vinyl or stainless steel. To clean, use mild
soapy water and cloth, or sponge.
c. Condenser: For efficient operation, it is recommended that the condenser coil and fans be cleaned every 4 to 6 months.
Remove grille for access. Vacuum clean front surface of coil thoroughly or direct forced air through condenser from the
rear. If necessary, use a stiff bristled brush to loosen dirt.
d. Condensate Evaporation Pan: The condensate evaporation pan (See Fig. 4) must be cleaned periodically to prevent
foul odors and to operate efficiently. Vacuum clean if dry or sponge clean with soapy water.

All Beverage-Air products are inspected and performance tested at the factory before crating to insure years of
satisfactory operation. However, in time. minor servicing will be necessary to maintain or restore peak performance of the
cabinet in particular applications. Problems usually encountered and their corrections are as follows.
Problem: High temperature.
Correction: (1) Inside air duct might be blocked with product. Be sure space between shelves, in center of cabinet, is open
for proper air
circulation, (2) Very high usage, or door left open, can raise temperature. Give cabinet time to pull back down. (3) Cabinet
might be in defrost cycle; check
timer box for position of cam. (4) Condenser could be clogged with dirt, cutting down air flow. Check and clean, if dirty.
Problem: Doors will not close properly.
Correction: (1) Door hinges, particularly on bottom, can get dry and caked with dirt, Etc. Clean, if needed, and lubricate
wear surfaces lightly. (2) If
cabinet has been moved, it might not be level. Relevel. if needed.
In case additional service is required, a qualified service agency or the factory should be contacted. When calling for
