You should carefully inspect your Traulsen 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 this. A freight claim should
be filed immediately.
After uncrating the unit, select a level location for final placement. Install
the legs or casters as shown below or, in the case of roll-in and roll-thru
models, these must be sealed to the floor in accordance with local health
codes.

NOTE: Some models (model numbers
beginning with “UR” and single section
dual-temps) require provision of a bottom mounted condensate evaporator.
Follow instructions provided with part,
along with this for installation.
II. Operation:
Most Traulsen equipment is plug and play, such as G Series & most Compacts. However, once power is supplied to the unit, some may require
simple steps to get started using your Traulsen equipment, such as the:
R & A Series/TE Series/TU Series/TS Series Cabinets
Although fully operational the control will flash the cabinet temperature
alternatively with the message ELE LOS (power loss). Press the alarm
cancel button to cancel this message.
R & A Series Control TE/TU/TS Series Control
Compacts Supports (“Stem” type legs & casters)
All models (except undercounters) should be installed to allow at least 12”
of clear space above the unit. In all cases the louvers must be free of any
obstruction which could prevent proper air-flow.
Most units are supplied with a cord and plug, which can simply be
plugged into a dedicated appropriately sized outlet. For those requiring
hard-wiring directly to the power supply, this should be done by only a
qualified electrician.

The temperature is set at the factory but local conditions may necessitate slight adjustment. The temperature control is located in the front
of the evaporator housing. To adjust, turn the adjustment screw with
a screwdriver a small amount at a time; turning clockwise lowers the
temperature. An “OFF” position is fully counterclockwise and interrupts power to the compressor and condenser fan only, not the entire
refrigerator.
III. Control Basics:

Hot Food Holding Cabinet Operation
Hot Food Holding Cabinets differ from refrigerators and freezers in that they
do not typically operate 24/7, and that there is a much broader range of
safe storage temperatures to choose from (135-180°F). As a result these
are regularly turned ON and OFF. To facilitate this Traulsen includes an ON/
OFF button on their controls. This also includes a convenient Temperature
Recall Feature. Upon being turned on each day, this automatically returns
operation to the last previously set temperature.

VI. ADJUSTING THE SHELVES:
Shelves Mounted On Pins
First select the desired location and remove the white plastic covers in the
interior back and sides by rotating them counter-clockwise. Remove the
shelf pins by rotating them counter-clockwise. Install the pins in the desired
location by rotating them clockwise. Make sure the pin is securely tightened
down. Do not over tighten. Slide the shelf into its new position, and replace
the white plastic covers into the holes vacated by the shelf pins.

Important Alarm Events
Also, some R & A Series models can register alarm events on the control
display such as:
ELE LOS: Indicates that the power supply had been interrupted.
DOR OPN: Indicates that a door has been left open.
HI CAB: Indicates that the cabinet air temperature is too high.
LO CAB: Indicates that the cabinet air temperature is too low.
CLN FIL: Indicates that the condenser coil requires cleaning.
CAB SNR: Indicates cabinet sensor has failed.
COL SNR: Indicates coil sensor has failed.
DIS SNR: Indicates liquid line sensor has failed.
IV. Defrost Cycles:
All Upright Cabinets, defrost cycles will occur every 8 hours for all refrigerators and every 4 hours for all freezers. All TE & TU Series defrost
cycles occur every 2 1/2 hours. All TS Series defrost cycles occur every
3 hours and all Compacts, undercounter and prep table refrigerators, will
occur every 6 hours.
Units equipped with an LED temperature display will indicate when a defrost
cycle is in process.
Shelves Mounted On Clips & Pilasters
Shelves and shelf clips are shipped with the unit. For each shelf, insert
four (4) shelf clips into the pilaster slots at the same height. The shelf
clips have a small projection on top which holds the shelf in position and
prevents it from slipping forward. After installing shelf clips on pilasters,
place shelves on clips.
VII. CLEANING THE CONDENSER:
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT.
This is the single most important thing you can do to promote long, efficient
equipment life. For All Upright Cabinets, remove the two bottom screws
securing the louver panel, then pivot this upwards allowing full access to the
front facing condenser. For all TE Series, TU Series & TS Series, place
hands under the louver panel and pull out and up to get louver panel off
bracket of the unit. Contact factory service support for all Compacts.

V. GENERAL CARE:
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT.
All Traulsen equipment should be cleaned only with warm water, mild soap
and a soft cloth. Apply with a dampened cloth and wipe in the direction of
the metal grain.
Avoid the use of strong detergents and gritty, abrasive cleaners as they
may tend to mar and scratch the surface. Do not use cleansers containing
chlorine, this may promote metal corrosion.
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 spills, use baking soda and water (mixed to a 1 TBSP
baking soda to 1 pint water ratio).
Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the finned condenser coil, around
the compressor and other cooling system parts as indicated. If significant
dirt is clogging the condenser fins, use compressed air to blow this clear.
When finished reverse the louver removal process as instructed above.
