MAINTENANCE – Door Gasket Care
Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and also to keep the elasticity of the
gasket. Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm soapy water. Avoid full strength cleaning prod-
ucts on gaskets as this can cause them to become brittle and prevent proper seals. Also, never use sharp
tools or knives to scrape or clean the gasket which could possibly tear the gasket and rip the bellows.
Gaskets can easily be replaced and do not require the use of tools or authorized service persons. The gaskets
are “Dart” style and can be pulled out of the grove in the door and new gaskets can be “pressed” back into
place.
MAINTENANCE – Drain
Each unit has a drain tube located in the rear the unit which removes condensation from the evaporator coil
and deposits it onto a drain pan where it can evaporate. If you notice excessive water accumulation on the
inside of the unit be sure that the drain tube is connected from the evaporator hous¬ing to the condensate
evaporator drain pan. If water is collecting underneath the unit you may want to check the condensate
evaporator drain tube to be sure it is still located above the drain pan. The leveling of the unit is also import-
ant as the units are designed to drain properly when on a level surface, if your floor is not level this can also
cause drain problems. Be sure the drain pan is kept free of dirt, dust and other debris as excessive amounts
will cause water to back up and overflow from the drain pan.
MAINTENANCE – Drain Pan Access
The drain pan and drain tube can be accessed from the rear of the unit. Pull the unit away from wall to ex-
pose the rear of the cabinet. The drain pan is located on the left/rear of the unit.
