How to maintain a glass freezer
Glass freezers don’t get dirty quickly as they are only used to freeze clean, empty glasses. If needed, wipe down the aluminium casing and stainless steel head with a soft cloth.
Regularly check the condition of the gas hose. Regularly check the connected liquid CO₂ cylinder so you can replace it with a new one when it’s almost empty. If you’re not using the appliance for an extended period, close the supply to the cylinder and disconnect the device.
