CAUTION:
PERSONAL
INJURY HAZARD
Condenser coil fins are sharp.
Use care to avoid cuts while
cleaning the condenser.
CONDENSER COIL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The condenser coil must be kept clean to allow adequate air flow for
proper heat dissipation. Recommend this procedure be performed
monthly.
1. Turn POWER SWITCH OFF. Disconnect unit from electrical
power.
2. Remove louvers or access panel to allow coil to be reached.
3. Using a soft bristle brush, brush lint and debris from the condenser
fins. Brush vertically, top to bottom. Collect and discard all lint and
debris gathered from this operation. DO NOT HOSE DOWN.
IMPORTANT: The fins of the condenser coil are delicate and
easily damaged. Use care to brush only in a vertical motion to
avoid damaging the coil fins. Fins are very sharp, avoid cuts.
4. Wipe the fan blades to remove accumulated dirt.
5. Reconnect to electrical power. Test for proper operation.
The surface can be damaged by mechanical abrasion, hard water deposits and chlorine:
1. NEVER use steel wool, wire brushes or metal scrapers to
clean the appliance. These will damage the surface.
2. Hard water deposits left behind when water is evaporated will
attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
3. Chlorides from chlorinated cleansers, calcium / lime / rust removers (e.g. muriatic acid), even heavily chlorinated city water
will attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
4. DO NOT use any highly caustic cleaners. Use of caustic
cleaners will damage the surface.
5. LIMIT USE of caustic cleaners. Rinse thoroughly with vinegar
and water solution to neutralize any residue. Failure to do so
may cause damage to the surface.
6. Cleansers with ammonia will cause the stainless steel to rust.
7. Use soft cloth and plastic scouring pads to clean the stainless
steel surfaces.
8. Metallic pads may ONLY be used if the scrubbing motion is in
the direction of the surface grain. DO NOT use in a circular
motion or straight across the grain.
9. In the absence of any visible grain, use only a soft cloth or
plastic pads.
10. DO NOT use any cleanser containing chlorine or ammonia.
Contact your cleaning materials supplier for suitable alkaline
cleansers, tools and cleaning materials. Keep your Wells appliance clean at all times. This will prevent the build-up of
hard, stubborn stains and hard-to-remove deposits. Extreme
stains or grease should be cleaned with a non-abrasive
cleaner and plastic scrub pad. It is advisable to rub with the
grain of the steel. There are also non-toxic stainless steel
cleaners available which can restore and preserve the finish of
the steels protective layer. Early signs of stainless steel breakdown can consist of small pits and cracks. If this has begun,
clean thoroughly and start to apply stainless steel cleaners in
attempt to restore the passivity of the steel.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A WATER HOSE to clean or
rinse the appliance. It may cause serious damage to the electrical components and cause personal injury. It will also void
the warranty.
Disconnect appliance from
electrical power before
cleaning.
CAUTION:
PERSONAL
INJURY HAZARD
Wells frost tops are
constructed of high quality
stainless steel. As long as
the stainless steel surface is
intact, the equipment will not
rust or corrode.
Recommendation:
A water softening device or a
cartridge-type filtration device
may be used to minimize lime
and calcium build-up.
DO NOT adjust the differential
settings of the refrigeration
system. Field adjustments of
the differential settings must
be made by qualified
refrigeration personnel only.
Unauthorized adjustment of
the differential settings will
void the warranty.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
1. The temperature has been preset at the factory to meet the frost
top application.
2. If temperature adjustments are required, the pressure switch,
located on the condensing unit, is adjustable. Temperature
adjustment must be performed by a qualified refrigeration
personnel only.
THERE ARE NO ACCESSORIES OFFERED FOR THE FT SERIES.
IMPORTANT: Use only
factory authorized service
parts and replacement
filters.
