Applies to

This maintenance procedure applies directly to the Tefcold BLC5 blast chiller.

Before you start

• The electrical connection must be switched off at the socket before performing cleaning and maintenance.
• Protective gloves must always be worn when cleaning the condenser due to very sharp fins.
• Protective masks must be used if dust is present.
• Protective glasses must also be used if dust is present.

Safety warnings

• Do not clean the appliance using direct water jets.
• Do not clean the appliance using high-pressure appliances.
• No other instruments must be used that may deform the condenser fins.
• Deforming the condenser fins will reduce the efficiency of the appliance.

Essential Safety Protocols for Maintenance

The electrical connection must be switched off at the socket before performing cleaning and maintenance.

The fins of the condenser are very sharp.

Because the fins are very sharp, protective gloves must always be worn when cleaning the condenser.

Protective masks must be used if dust is present.

Protective glasses must also be used if dust is present.

1. Switch off the electrical connection at the socket before performing cleaning and maintenance.
2. Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the condenser due to the very sharp fins.
3. Use protective masks if dust is present.
4. Use protective glasses if dust is present.

Restrictions on Cleaning Equipment

Do not clean the appliance using direct water jets.

Do not clean the appliance using high-pressure appliances.

No other instruments must be used when cleaning the condenser.

Using other instruments may deform the condenser fins.

Deforming the condenser fins will reduce the efficiency of the appliance.

1. Ensure you do not clean the appliance using direct water jets.
2. Ensure you do not clean the appliance using high-pressure appliances.
3. Do not use other instruments that may deform the condenser fins.
4. Avoid any tools that could reduce the efficiency of the appliance by deforming the fins.

Accessing the Technical Compartment

To begin cleaning, open the door of the appliance.

You must remove the lower panel from the technical compartment.

To remove the lower panel from the technical compartment, you must remove the screw fasteners.

1. Open the door of the appliance to begin cleaning.
2. Locate the lower panel on the technical compartment.
3. Remove the lower panel from the technical compartment by removing the screw fasteners.

Cleaning the Finned Part of the Condenser

After removing the panel, it is possible to clean the finned part of the condenser.

You must clean the finned part of the condenser using suitable tools and protection devices.

Whenever the condenser has a deposit of dust in correspondence with the fins, this dust can be removed using a suction device.

Alternatively, dust on the condenser fins can be removed with a brush.

If using a brush, it must be applied using a vertical movement along the direction of the fins.

1. Clean the finned part of the condenser using suitable tools and protection devices.
2. Remove any deposit of dust on the condenser fins using a suction device.
3. Alternatively, remove dust on the condenser fins using a brush.
4. Apply the brush using a vertical movement along the direction of the fins.

Addressing Cooling Failures After Maintenance

If the cabinet fails to cool and the reason cannot be located, you must contact the supplier.

1. Check if the cabinet fails to cool.
2. Contact the supplier if the cabinet fails to cool and the reason cannot be located.

Finalizing the Maintenance Process

The electrical connection must remain switched off at the socket while performing cleaning and maintenance.

You must continue to wear protective gloves when cleaning the condenser due to very sharp fins.

You must clean the finned part of the condenser using suitable tools and protection devices.

Do not use other instruments that may deform the condenser fins and reduce appliance efficiency.

1. Ensure the electrical connection remains switched off at the socket while performing cleaning and maintenance.
2. Continue to wear protective gloves when cleaning the condenser due to very sharp fins.
3. Clean the finned part of the condenser using suitable tools and protection devices.
4. Do not use other instruments that may deform the condenser fins and reduce appliance efficiency.

Understanding the Importance of Correct Tools

You must clean the finned part of the condenser using suitable tools and protection devices.

Dust on the condenser fins can be removed using a suction device or a brush applied with a vertical movement.

No other instruments must be used when cleaning the condenser.

Using other instruments may deform the condenser fins.

Deforming the condenser fins will reduce the efficiency of the appliance.

1. Clean the finned part of the condenser using suitable tools and protection devices.
2. Remove dust on the condenser fins using a suction device or a brush applied with a vertical movement.
3. Do not use other instruments when cleaning the condenser.
4. Avoid using other instruments that may deform the condenser fins.
5. Avoid deforming the condenser fins to prevent reducing the efficiency of the appliance.

Stop and get help if

• Stop and contact the supplier if the cabinet fails to cool and the reason cannot be located.

When to call an engineer

• Contact the supplier if the cabinet fails to cool and the reason cannot be located.
