New member here, help me identify this machine

You should fill the machine up before you start worrying about cycling.  Plus, you will not get as much condenstation.

That makes sense.  The more airspace that is filled (with cans), the less moisture inside and more constant the temperature.  Thanks for the advice.

Also, the cans will help hold the temperature inside.  Kind of like how you should fill any empty spaces in your freezer with water jugs. '>

Yeah, that's what I meant with my poorly worded statement above...

Any ideas what kind of amperage this unit will be pulling?  I'm wondering if I'm going to see a spike in my electric bill next month.  '>

[dr galaga]

I wouldn't call it a spike.  It would be the same as running another fridge.  Besides keeping my machine full, I also installed a switch for the main light.  This way I only turn the light on when I have people over.

Mine doesn't have a light feature so I don't have that option.  '>

Any ideas on what the manual refers to as "spray cleaner" for cleaning the filter?  It says to buy the "spray cleaner" at "small appliance" stores.  Doesn't elaborate beyond that.

[dr galaga]

I don't know.  I know that there is a spary for furnace filters to help filter mold, pollen and pet dander better.  I've never heard about using it for something like a vending machine.

I'm beginning to think it's just compressed air, like the ones used to clean computer equipment (keyboards and such).  Maybe it's used to blow the dust off the filter?

Maybe this from a hardware store?
I saw this on the shelf and took a pic of it with my cell phone camera, for future reference.

Thanks, Markito!

I'll see if I can find that stuff.
