INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Maintenance instructions are included in Cabinet Manuals:

  • A hard copy is supplied with each cabinet
  • Please contact your FPG sales representative or email FPG Customer Services at support@fpgworld.com for a PDF of your Cabinet Manual.
CLEANING GUIDELINES

Clean all glass surfaces with a commercial glass cleaner.

Use a commercial stainless steel cleaner on all stainless steel surfaces.

Clean all shelf components with a non-abrasive soft cloth and hot sudsy water.

We recommend using a handheld mini vacuum cleaner to remove debris caught in door tracks.

Pre-filters: Many refrigerated cabinets have been engineered with a pre-filter. The inclusion of the pre-filter helps to extend the life of the refrigeration system by capturing dust and debris caught up in the fresh air intake. To maintain the efficient and effective operation of the refrigeration system please clean the pre-filter regularly. This may be a weekly task for dusty environments. For more guidance please view the ‘How To’ video on cleaning the pre-filter for your cabinet.

A Custom Fitout can incorporate multiple surface finishes. We have included some of the common finishes below together with cleaning guidelines.
