Vertical High Rise Fan Coil - Yearly Maintenance

Maintenance

• Remove the return air/access panel from the wall. Remove the sheet metal screws which secure the panel that shields the fan assembly. Pull the shield panel sharply downward and remove.

• Vacuum the drain pan and check that the drain outlet is not blocked. Pour water into the pan and check that it drains quickly. If it appears to be partly blocked, remove and clean the drain hose beneath the pan.

• If the coil surface is dirty, vacuum the surface which faces the room. Take care not to damage the aluminum fins on the coil. If the fins are flattened, the performance of the unit will be reduced

• Inspect the surface of the cabinet liner for evidence of dampness. The liner should be completely dry in all areas. Vacuum excessive dust from the liner, taking care not to damage the black acrylic coating on the liner. Do not run the unit if the liner is damp as this can promote mold growth. Determine the cause of the dampness. If there is evidence of mold growth it might be necessary to replace part or all of the liner. If in doubt consult a remediation specialist.

• Replace the thermostat battery if it is a seven-day programmable type
