Cleaning

Stainless Models

Stainless door panels and handles can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach.

Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish monthly. For best results use Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning weekly.

Do not clean with steel wool pads.

Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on any glass surfaces.

Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.

Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces (this includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).

If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser® and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always finish with Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further problems.

Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite ^™ will cause the graining in the stainless steel to become blurred.

Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.

Integrated Models

To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the cabinet manufacturer's recommendation.

INTERIOR CLEANING

Disconnect power to the unit.

Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.

Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.

Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive

cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste to the interior products and damage or discolor the lining.

DEFROSTING

Under normal conditions this unit does not require manual defrosting. Minor frost on the rear wall or visible through the evaporator plate vents is normal and will melt during each off cycle.

If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" (6 mm) or more, manually defrost the unit.

Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.

High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can also produce frost.

CAUTION

DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp instrument to help speed up defrosting. These instruments can puncture the inner lining or damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up defrosting can cause personal injury and damage to the inner lining.

NOTICE

CAUTION

Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the main electrical power has been disconnected from the unit.

SPECIFIC ERRORS AND ISSUES

The advanced diagnostic capabilities of the electronic controls utilized on the 1, 3, and 5 Class units allow for easy and thorough troubleshooting.

Navigation of the control is the key and is explained in the CONTROL OPERATION section of the manual, along with control button layout, control function descriptions, a service mode menu and service menu selection explanations.

Verification of temperature and thermistor performance can be identified by directly viewing thermistor readings in the service mode.

Included in this section are some diagnostic tips; if additional help is required, please contact the U-Line Corp, "Customer Care Facility" at +1.414.354.0300 for assistance.

All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. Despite this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar.

Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit's environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood, vinyl or tiled floors and paneled walls have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.

Listed below are common refrigeration components with a brief description of the normal sounds they make. NOTE: Your product may not contain all the components listed.

• Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard when it operates.
• Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator may sound like boiling liquid.
• Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be heard.
• Automatic Defrost Drain Pan: Water may be heard dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in the defrost cycle.

Solenoid Valves: An occasional clicking sound may be heard as solenoid valves are operated.

CAUTION

Precautions must be taken while working with live electrical equipment. Be sure to follow proper safety procedures while performing tests on live systems.

PLUNGER SWITCH

A plunger switch is used to monitor door state. When the door is closed it comes into contact with the plunger which closes a circuit which turns the light and display off. When the door is open the plunger moves outward and opens the circuit. If the door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the switch will trigger an error code and set an audible warning.

Thermistors

Thermistors are used for various temperature readings. Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.

Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is suspected of being defective, the resistance can be verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the resistance should read 16.1k Ohms +/-5% on your meter.

Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to change as they pass through a dirty connection to the board.

It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.

If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the thermistor harness.

Thermistor error information can be found in the Control Operations - Service section.

This unit has one thermistor.

Thermistor one (Zone):

Located along the right hand side wall. It is used to maintain the operating temperature within that zone.

THERMISTOR FAILURE

Zone Thermistor

If the zone thermistor in the unit fails, the unit will continue to cool in a backup mode (Self Preservation Mode) to preserve the integrity of the contents. The unit will otherwise operate normally.

Defrost

Outdoor units defrost every 12 hours of compressor runtime for 45 minutes. If you have verified that the unit does not have an ambient air leak, utilize the Control Operation - Service section and adjust unit to defrost every 9 hours for 60 minutes

Remove Fan and Cover

CONVECTION COOLING

This unit is equipped with an advanced convection cooling system. Convection cooling stabilizes cabinet temperature, cools product faster and increases energy efficiency.

Evaporator Fan

The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back into the refrigerated zone.

The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2 minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can be modified through the service menu.

Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door switch state. If the door switch circuit opens, the fan will stop. When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will either continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not currently cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate air and clear any condensation that may have appeared on glass doors and shelves.

Note: If the unit is set to sabbath mode, the evaporator fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.

In order to operate efficiently, the evaporator fan blade and vents should be unobstructed and free of any dust buildup.

Evaporator Fan Replacement

Should the evaporator fan need to be replaced follow the steps below.

1. Remove any product from the unit.

2. Remove unit from cabinetry to access rear.

3. Disconnect power to the unit.

4. Remove back panel from unit.

5. Disconnect fan electrical connection at rear of unit.
