    E-Coated Coil Cleaning

    WARNING! Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.

    If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a soft non-metallic bristle brush may be used. In either case, the tool should be applied in the direction of the fins. Coil surfaces can be easily damaged (fin edges bent over) if the tool is applied across the fins

    CAUTION! Harsh chemicals, household bleach, or acid cleaners should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor e-coated coils. These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate corrosion and attack the E-coating. If there is dir
