Diamond 49 Maintenance Tips

Understanding that your display case is impacted by the environment that it works in is an important part of any maintenance program.

A bakery, for example will have higher levels of flour dust than, say, a deli restaurant. A restaurant with an open kitchen will have higher levels of humidity than a food kiosk may have. A grocery store produce area will have higher levels of water and misting than a bakery.

In short, the refrigerated, non-refrigerated and heated displays must be maintained to operate properly on a long-term basis.

INTERIOR CASE MAINTENANCE

On self-contained refrigerated units the condensing units must be:

1. Kept clear so that they can circulate the air to facilitate cooling.
2. Vacuumed to remove dust and debris build-up from the fins of the fan.
3. Serviced occasionally to ensure proper operation.

Case interiors must be cleaned on a regular basis; REMEMBER TO SHUT DOWN THE POWER.

1. Remove inlays and housing covers.
2. Remove debris and miscellaneous items that may have fallen into the case interior.
3. Wash and sanitize the tub, refrigeration coil and case interior.
4. Ensure that the drain pipe is not blocked.
5. Check that the fans are clear of any build-up.

Note: Before sealing up the case interior, turn the case on and confirm that the fans are all operating, then replace cover and inlays.

EXTERIOR CASE MAINTENANCE

Whether your Arctica display case was ordered with plastic laminate, hardwood veneer or a solid surface, it must be maintained in order to remain looking good.

1. Glass in a foodservice case should be cleaned using a mild vinegar and water solution.
2. Plastic laminate may be cleaned with standard, non-abrasive cleaners. Do not use full-strength bleach.
3. Hardwood veneers should be cleaned with good quality furniture cleaning solutions.
4. Solid surfaces such as CORIAN® (see CORIAN® Care and Maintenance), and granite (see Granite Care and Maintenance) should be cleaned using solutions specially designed for use on those materials.
