Maintenance Tips

• Clean exterior daily: Wipe stainless steel top and black vinyl body to remove spills, fingerprints, and sticky residue for a clean bar presentation.
• Clean condenser coils regularly: Remove dust and grease buildup to maintain efficient cooling and prevent compressor strain.
• Maintain door gaskets: Inspect and clean seals to ensure tight closure and prevent cold air loss and energy waste.
• Monitor temperature (33–38°F): Check digital thermostat daily for safe beverage storage and consistent cooling performance.
• Keep front ventilation clear: Ensure airflow is unobstructed since the unit is front-breathing for efficient operation.
• Clear condensate system: Check evaporator and drain pan regularly to prevent overflow or moisture buildup.
• Avoid overloading shelves: Maintain internal airflow for even cooling across bottles, cans, and kegs.
• Deep clean monthly: Empty cabinet and sanitize interior stainless steel walls, floor, and shelves.
• Inspect electrical connection: Ensure plug, cord, and outlet remain dry, secure, and undamaged.
