GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI/GFI) protection is
a system that shuts down the electric circuit (opens it)
when it senses an unexpected loss of power, presumably
to ground. Manitowoc does not recommend the use of
GFCI/GFI circuit protection to energize our equipment.
If code requires the use of a GFCI/GFI then you must
follow the local code. The circuit must be dedicated, sized
properly and there must be a panel GFCI/GFI breaker. We
do not recommend the use of GFCI/GFI outlets to energize
our equipment as they are known for more intermittent
nuisance trips than panel breakers.

Section 4 Maintenance
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Notice
Never use an acid based cleaning solution on exterior
panels! Many food products have an acidic content,
which can deteriorate the finish. Be sure to clean the
stainless steel surfaces of ALL food products.
Clean the area around the unit as often as necessary to
maintain cleanliness and efficient operation.
Wipe gasket and surfaces with a damp cloth rinsed in water
to remove dust and dirt from the outside of the unit. Always
rub with the “grain” of the stainless steel to avoid marring
the finish. If a greasy residue persists, use a damp cloth
rinsed in a mild dish soap and water solution. Wipe dry with
a clean, soft cloth.
Never use steel wool or abrasive pads for cleaning. Never
use chlorinated, citrus based or abrasive cleaners.
Stainless steel exterior panels have a clear coating that
is stain resistant and easy to clean. Products containing
abrasives will damage the coating and scratch the panels.
Daily cleaning may be followed by an application of
stainless steel cleaner which will eliminate water spotting
and fingerprints. Early signs of stainless steel breakdown
are small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean thoroughly
and start to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt to
restore the steel.
PLEXIGLAS, INCLUDING BAFFLES
Wet a clean cloth with lukewarm water and dishwashing
liquid. Apply only light pressure, rinse with clean water
and blot dry with a damp chamois. For excessively dirty
surfaces, rinse surface dirt off before washing. Fine
scratches will disappear when you polish by hand with a
plastic cleaner polish.
DRAIN
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit that removes
the condensation from the evaporator coil and routes it
to an external condensate evaporator pan. Each drain can
become loose or disconnected during normal use. If you
notice water accumulation on the inside of the unit, be sure
the drain tube is connected to the evaporator drain pan.
If water is collecting underneath the unit, make sure the
end of the drain tube is in the condensate evaporator. The
leveling of the unit is important as the units are designed to
drain properly when level. Be sure all drain lines are free of
obstructions.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the
condenser fins must be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease
regularly. It is recommended that this be done monthly. If
conditions are such that the condenser is totally blocked
in a month, the frequency of cleaning should be increased.
Clean the condenser with a vacuum cleaner or stiff brush. If
extremely dirty, a commercially available condenser cleaner
may be required.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause
high temperatures and excessive run times. Continuous
operation with a dirty or clogged condenser coil can
result in compressor failure. Neglecting the condenser coil
cleaning procedures will void any warranties associated
with the compressor and cost to replace the compressor.
Notice
Never use window sprays, kitchen scouring compounds
or solvents such as acetone, gasoline, benzene, alcohol,
carbon tetrachloride or lacquer thinner to clean
plexiglas.
SLIDING DOORS
Frequent, regular cleaning with a mild soap and water
solution will keep the tracks free of foreign matter and will
insure many years of service. The glass may be cleaned
with one of the many commercial glass cleaners currently
available.
