Atosa Refrigeration Maintenance & Cleaning
A big part of maintenance is keeping up with regular cleaning. With our Atosa refrigeration maintenance and cleaning instructions, your unit will be in top condition and run more efficiently. This guide covers maintenance and cleaning for Atosa prep tables, upright refrigerators and chest freezers. The cleaning process is the same across all units. However, chest freezers will need you to go one step further to care for them.

- Unplug the unit.
- Remove all contents of the freezer.
