II. RECEIPT INSPECTION
III. INSTALLATION (continued)
All Traulsen products are factory tested for performance
and are free from defects when shipped. The utmost care
has been taken in crating this product to protect against
damage in transit.
III. c - INSTALLING/ADJUSTING LEGS OR CASTERS:
You should carefully inspect your unit for damage during
delivery. If damage is detected, you should save all the
crating materials and make note on the carrier’s Bill Of
Lading describing the damage. A freight claim should be
filed immediately. If damage is subsequently noted dur-
ing or immediately after installation, contact our customer
care team to file a freight claim. There is a fifteen (15)
day limit to file freight damage with the carrier. Under no
condition may a damaged unit be returned to Traulsen
without first obtaining written permission (return autho-
rization). You may contact Hobart/Traulsen customer
care at 800-333-7447 to request a return or file a claim.
III. d - CORD & PLUG:
All self-contained models are shipped standard with a NEMA
5-15P plug and 9 foot cord . Select only a dedicated electrical
outlet for power source.
NOTE: Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove the
round grounding prong from the plug, or use an extension
cord.
III. INSTALLATION
III. a - LOCATION:
Select a proper location for your unit, away from extreme
heat or cold.
III. e - POWER SUPPLY:
The supply voltage should be checked prior to connection to
be certain that proper voltage for the cabinet wiring is available
(refer to the serial tag to determine correct unit voltage, see page
1). Make connections in accordance with local electrical codes.
Use qualified electricians.
III. b - PACKAGING:
Your Traulsen unit is shipped from the factory bolted to a
sturdy wooden pallet in stretch wrapped material.
Most exterior stainless steel surfaces have a protective
vinyl covering to prevent scratching during manufactur-
ing, shipping and installation. After the unit is installed
in place of application peel, remove and discard the
covering from all surfaces.
Use of a separate, dedicated circuit is required. Size wiring to
handle indicated load and provide necessary over current protec-
tor in circuit (see amperage requirements on the unit’s serial tag).
IV. OPERATION
To remove the wooden pallet, first if at all possible, we
suggest that the cabinet remain bolted to the pallet dur-
ing all transportation to the point of final installation. The
bolts can then be removed with a 1/2” socket wrench.
Avoid laying the unit on its back for removal of the pallet.
IV. a - TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
The temperature is set at the factory but local conditions may
necessitate slight adjustment.
NOTE: Traulsen does not recommend laying the unit
on its back. If you must, please allow the unit to re-
main in an upright position for 24 hours before plug-
ging it in so that the compressor oils and refrigerant
may settle.
III. c - INSTALLING/ADJUSTING LEGS OR
CASTERS:
Casters are installed at the factory but will require adjust-
ment upon installation.
The temperature control is located behind the silver plug on the
front side of the system area (dial thermometer side). To adjust,
remove the plug turn the adjustment screw with a pair of pliers
a small amount at a time; turning clockwise lowers the tempera-
ture. An “OFF” position is fully counterclockwise and interrupts
power to the compressor and condenser fan only, not the entire
refrigerator.
To adjust the legs or casters, loosen the two bolts and
move leg or caster to desired location, spacing between
leg or caster not to exceed 48 inches. Leg or caster on
each end of the unit can not exceed 8 inches from the
end of the cabinet.

V. CARE & MAINTENANCE
V. c - CLEANING THE CABINET SURFACES:
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER
SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE
UNIT.
V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER/FILTER:
The most important thing you can do to insure a long, reliable
service life for your Traulsen is to regularly clean the condenser
coil and or filter.
Exterior stainless steel should be cleaned with warm wa-
ter, mild soap and a soft cloth. Apply with a dampened
cloth and wipe in the direction of the metal grain.
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT.
Avoid the use of strong detergents and gritty, abrasive
cleaners as they may tend to mar and scratch the sur-
face. Do NOT use cleansers containing chlorine, such as
bleach, this may promote corrosion of the stainless steel.
To clean the condenser/filter, first disconnect electrical power to
the cabinet and remove the system side cover.
Proceed to vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the finned
condenser coil/filter, the compressor and other cooling system
parts. If significant dirt is clogging the condenser fins or filter,
use compressed air to blow this clear.To replace the system side
cover reverse the process.
Care should also be taken to avoid splashing the unit with
water, containing chlorinated cleansers, when mopping
the floor around the unit.
For stubborn odor or spills, use baking soda and water
(mixed to a 1 tbsp baking soda to 1 pint water ratio).
V. b - REPLACING THE DOOR GASKETS:
To remove the gasket to be replaced, grasp it firmly by one corner
and pull it out. Before attempting to install a new gasket, both
the unit and the gasket itself must be at room temperature. Insert
the four corners first by using a rubber mallet (or hammer with
a block of wood). After the corners are properly inserted, work
your way towards the center from both ends by gently hitting
with a mallet until the gasket is completely seated in place (see
figure below for proper gasket placement).
A stainless steel polish is recommended for shining of
unit.
NOTE: The gasket may appear too large, but if it is installed
as indicated above it will slip into place.

The unit is equipped with a drain for cleaning the inside
of the unit.
