If you have bought a bottle cooler in the past and replaced it you will know that when it’s removed it is normally full of grime, dust and dirt at the back of the unit and underneath. In the bar environment this is quite normal and will occur in the cleanest bars.
Back bar coolers lose their efficiency when they become full of dust and grime. Because of this units fail in trade and often are replaced earlier than is necessary. The dust on the fans and condenser causes the compressor to overwork to compensate and can cause excessive overheating, in extreme circumstances this will cause fans to jam, this in turn can cause icing in the unit and it will suffer from a reduced cooling ability.
Sensible cleaning is required of all units, we would suggest the following At least every 6 months:
- Remove all contents from the unit bottles cans etc.
- Pull the unit out so you can easy access the rear of the unit
- Unplug the unit
- Hoover, out all visible back area and reachable areas below the unit
- Also take time to Clean out the inside of the unit which also for health and hygiene reasons should be done at a regular intervals
- Plug the unit in and push back into position, and re-stock
By following the above instructions we are sure you will get better cooling results year after year and less need to early replacement. If you need any advice on cleaning our refrigeration products please call our help line and we will be happy to advise you.
