II. RECEIPT INSPECTION
III. INSTALLATION (cont’d)
All Traulsen products are factory tested for perfor-
mance and are free from defects when shipped. The utmost care has been taken in crating this product to pro-
tect against damage in transit. All interior ttings have
been carefully secured and the casters/legs are boxed
and strapped inside to prevent damage. Door keys will
be attached to the handle with a nylon strip. The handle is protected by an easily removable nylon netting.
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 led immediately. If damage is subsequently noted
during or immediately after installation, contact the respective carrier and le a freight claim. Under no condi-
tion may a damaged unit be returned to Traulsen without
rst obtaining written permission (return authorization).
III. INSTALLATION
III. a - LOCATION:
Select a proper location for your Traulsen unit, away
from extreme heat and allow proper clearance for
air circulation (see page 4). Allow enough clear-
ance between the unit and the side wall in order to
make use of the door stay open feature at 120° (selfclosing feature operates up to 90°). The door(s)
must be able to open a minimum of 90° in order to
make use of the maximum clear door width available.
III. c - INSTALLING CASTERS OR LEGS:
A set of four (4) 6” high casters and sixteen (16) bolts are supplied standard for all Traulsen G-Series units. These are shipped
from the factory packed inside a cardboard box which is strapped
inside the cabinet to the lower shelf.
Legs in lieu of casters are available as an optional accessory
kit for the same models. These are shipped inside a separate
cardboard box. Inside it should contain four (4) legs and sixteen
(16) bolts.
WARNING: THE CABINET MUST BE BLOCKED AND STABLE BEFORE INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS.
To install the legs or casters, rst raise and block the reach-in a
minimum of 7” from the oor. For installing legs, thread the legs
into the threaded holes on the bottom of the cabinet (see gure
1). Be certain that all legs are tightly secured. When the unit
is set in its nal position, it is important for proper operation that
the unit be level. The legs are adjustable for this purpose, turn
the bottom of the leg counterclockwise to raise it, clockwise to
lower it. Level the unit from front to back as well as side to side
in this manner.
III. b - PACKAGING:
All Traulsen units are shipped from the factory bolted to
a sturdy wooden pallet and packaged in a durable Styrofoam backed cardboard wrap.
Most exterior stainless steel and aluminum surfaces
have a protective vinyl covering to prevent scratching
during manufacturing, shipping and installation. After
the unit is installed in place of service, remove and discard the covering from all surfaces.
If at all possible we suggest that the cabinet remain bolted
to the pallet during all transportation to the point of nal
installation. To remove the wooden pallet, the bolts can
then be removed with a 3/4” socket wrench. Avoid laying
the unit on its front, side or back for removal of the pallet.
NOTE: DO NOT LAY THE UNIT ON ITS SIDE DURING
TRANSPORTATION OR INSTALLATION.
Fig. 1
Please note that Traulsen units are not designed to be moved
while on legs. If the unit requires moving, a pallet jack or forklift
should be used to prevent damage. For installing casters, the
casters are a “plate” type, and require the use of four (4) bolts
each to secure them rmly to the cabinet bottom at each corner
(see gure 2). The caster bolts are tightened using a 1/2”socket
wrench.

III. INSTALLATION (cont’d)
III. d - SHELF PINS:
The unit is supplied with shelves and shelf pins installed. Check
all shelf pins to assure they are tightened down as they may have
come loose during shipping. Rotate the pins clockwise until they
are secured against the side of the cabinet.
III. e - REMOVING THE DOORS & HARDWARE:
In order to t through narrow (less than 35”) doorways, it may be
necessary to remove the door(s), and/or hinges. To remove any
solid door, begin by removing the plug at the bottom of the top
hinge. Inside the hinge there is a small screw which secures the
door in place. Remove this with a at head screwdriver and the
door can then be lifted off the hinges (see gure 3).
Fig. 3
III. e - REMOVING THE DOORS & HARDWARE
If it is necessary to remove the hinge hardware from the
cabinet, begin by removing the three Phillips head screws
which hold it in place. Set these components aside for
later reassembly. Pay special attention not to loose the
door switch actuator button controls evaporator fan and
interior light operation (see gure 4).
NOTE: All solid door units include a microswitch for
controlling the interior lighting in the top hinge(s).
Special care should be taken to not damage the wiring
for this during the hinge removal process.
The lock keeper may also require removal in order to
reduce the overall cabinet depth to 32”.
Next remove the lock keeper bracket by removing the two
(2) at head screws which secure it in place. Set these
components aside for later reassembly.
To re-install the door and/or hinges, please reverse the
appropriate sections of the preceding procedure.
III. f - CORD & PLUG:
All G-Series models are supplied with a cord & plug
attached. It is shipped coiled at the top of the cabinet,
secured by a nylon strip. For your safety and protection,
all units supplied with a cord and plug include a special
three-prong grounding plug on the service cord. Select
only a dedicated electrical outlet with grounding plug for
power source.
(cont’d)
:
After removing the door, it maybe necessary to remove the hinge
assembly and hardware from the door itself.
Fig. 4
NOTE: Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from the plug, or
use an extension cord.
III. g - 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). Make connections in accordance with local
electrical codes. Use qualied electricians.
Use of a separate, dedicated circuit is required. Size
wiring to handle indicated load and provide necessary
overcurrent protector in circuit (see amperage requirements on the unit’s serial tag).
III. h - WIRING DIAGRAM:
Refer to the wiring diagram for any service work per-
formed on the unit. Should you require one, please
contact Traulsen Service at (800) 825-8220, and provide
the model and serial number of the unit involved.

III. INSTALLATION (cont’d)
IV. OPERATION (cont’d)
III. i - CLEARANCE:
In order to assure optimum performance, the condensing
unit of your Traulsen unit MUST have an adequate sup-
ply of air for cooling purposes. Therefore, the operating
location must either have a minimum of 12” clearance
overhead of the condensing unit or allow for unrestricted
air ow at the back of the unit. Clearance of at least 12”
above is required in order to perform certain maintenance
tasks.
III. j - INSTALLING OPTIONAL INTERIOR KITS:
In addition to their standard interiors, G-Series models
also offer the option for additional shelves or tray slides.
If ordered, these are shipped as kits along with the unit,
packaged in a separate cardboard box which contains all
the necessary parts and hardware for on-site installation.
To install additional shelves, rst remove the white plastic
covers from inside the cabinet. These are located along
the same vertical line as the pins already in place on the
interior side walls, back and center mullion (two and threesection models). This exposes threaded holes in which
you may position the new shelves. Next insert the gray
plastic shelf pins into these holes and tighten by turning
clockwise with your ngers. After all four pins are in place,
the new shelf should be placed to rest on top of them.
The unused plastic covers may be discarded or saved
for future changes to the cabinet interior.
IV. b - FREEZERS:
During normal operation, a freezer continuously circulates below
freezing cabinet air through the evaporator coil. The coil requires
a periodic defrosting for proper operation. This is accomplished
by an automatic, time activated, temperature/time terminated,
defrost program. The controller is preset at the factory for six
equally spaced defrost cycles within each 24-hour period.
The evaporator fan(s) cycle off with each door opening. The
evaporator fan(s) will cycle on (15 seconds) and off (45 seconds)
during the compressor off cycle. During the compressor on cycle
the evaporator fan(s) will run continuously.
At the start of a refrigerator or freezer defrost cycle, both the compressor and evaporator fans are off. The microprocessor control
will read “dEF” (see gure 5). When this occurs the green defrost
icon (snow ake) will be illuminated.
°F °C
SET
Installation of optional tray slides varies with each cabi-
net, and with each type of tray slide ordered. To install
optional tray slides, follow the directions packaged inside
the kit carton.
III. k - ON/OFF SWITCH:
An ON/OFF toggle switch for the power supply is provided. It is located on top of the unit, mounted to the
side of the evaporator housing. This is shipped from the
factory in the ON position.
IV. OPERATION
IV. a - REFRIGERATORS:
Both refrigerators and freezers do not require manual
defrosting. During normal operation, a refrigerator continuously circulates above freezing cabinet air through the
evaporator coil. An electric defrost occurs every 8 hours
for a maximum length of 25 minutes to melt any frost which
may accumulate on the coil during the compressor “ON”
cycle. With standard holding refrigerators, high relative
humidity is also maintained to prevent dehydration of
stored product.
FREEZER
Fig. 5
The electric heater (attached to the coil) is energized. When the
temperature sensor afxed to the coil senses 45°F, the coil is
fully defrosted and the compressor operation is resumed, defrost
heaters are automatically turned off. The evaporator coil fans are
delayed from starting at the termination of a defrost cycle. Fan
operation is automatically resumed, after a short time or temp
delay (whichever comes rst). After completion, the total refrigeration system operation is then resumed. During defrost operation,
heat is conned to the coil enclosure to prevent any signicant
rise in temperature within the food zone. The fan delay control
function upon termination of a defrost cycle is two-fold. First, to
prevent blowing warm air into the food storage area. Second, to
prevent any condensation on the defrost coil from being blown
into the food storage area.
The microprocessor control is set from the factory to terminate
defrost at 25 minutes for refrigerators and 30 minutes for freezers in the event of a sensor failure. This setting should never be
tampered with, without rst consulting the factory.

IV. OPERATION (cont’d)
V. CARE & MAINTENANCE (cont’d)
IV. c - LIGHT SWITCHES:
All G-Series models include a concealed light switch mounted in
the top door hinge(s), which automatically activates the interior
light when the door is opened. When the door is closed, the lights
are not operating.
In addition, on hinged glass door models, an exterior mounted,
illuminated red switch is included for manual light control. In the
ON position, the lights are illuminated whether the doors are open
or not. In the OFF position, the lights are controlled by the hinge
switch as described in the rst paragraph.’
IV. d - SPECIAL DISPLAY OPERATING MODE:
G-Series models built during the summer of 2009 and beyond
will include a special control mode which disables the external
temperature display. Note that before doing so you must install an
interior mounted thermometer in order to conform with local health
codes.
To initiate this mode press the up and down arrows simultaneously for 1 second until the temperature display goes blank. The
temperature display will remain disabled indenately until such
time as the operator wishes to restore normal operation. To do
so simply repeat the process of pressing the up and down arrows simultaneously for 1 second until the temperature display
illuminates.
NOTE: In the event power is interrupted for any reason the
display will return to standard operating mode where it displays the correct cabinet air temperature.
V. CARE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT.
V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER:
The most important thing you can do to insure a long, reliable service life for your Traulsen is to regularly clean the condenser coil.
The condensing unit requires regularly scheduled cleaning to
keep the nned condenser clean of lint and dust accummulation. Keeping the condenser clean allows the cabinet to operate
more efciently and use less energy. To clean the condenser,
rst disconnect electrical power to the cabinet and lift up the front
louver assembly. To lift this, remove the two screws located on
both sides at the bottom of the louver assembly (see gure 5).
Once the screws are removed, the panel can be pivoted upwards
allowing full access to the front facing condenser (see gure 6).
V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER (cont’d):

Fig. 6
Lift-Up Louver
Assembly
Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the nned
condenser coil, the compressor and other cooling system
parts. If signicant dirt is clogging the condenser ns,
use compressed air to blow this clear. Care should be
taken not to bend any of the condenser ns, as this will
reduce performance and compressor life. Lower louver
assembly and replace screws to hold it in place.
V. b - HINGE REPLACEMENT:
To remove the door, remove the plug at the bottom of the
top hinge. Behind this is a screw which secures the door
in place. Remove this with a at head screwdriver and
then lift the door off the hinge. To remove the door portion
of the hinge, lift off the hinge cover and then remove the
3 Phillips head screws which secure the hinge in place.
To remove the cabinet portion of the hinge, remove the 3
Phillips head screws which hold it in place. On solid door
units, the top hinge(s) contains a switch for controlling the
lights.To reassemble the hinge reverse the procedure.
V. c - REPLACING THE GASKETS:
To remove the gasket to be replaced, grasp it rmly by
one corner and pull it out. Before attempting to install a
new gasket, both the unit and gasket must be at room
temperature. Insert the four corners rst 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 gure 7 for
proper gasket placement).

V. d - CLEANING THE EXTERIOR:
Exterior stainless steel and aluminum should be cleaned
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 corrosion of the stainless steel.
Care should also be taken to avoid splashing the unit with
water, containing chlorinated cleansers, when mopping
the oor around the unit.
For stubborn odor spills, use baking soda and water
(mixed to a 1 TBSP baking soda to 1 pint water ratio).
V. e - CLEANING THE INTERIOR:
For cleaning anodized aluminum interiors, the use of baking soda as described in section “V. d” is recommended.
Use on breaker strips as well as door gaskets. All interior
ttings are removable without tools to facilitate cleaning.
V. f - ADJUSTING THE SHELVES:
For shelves mounted on pins, rst select the desired
location and remove the white plastic covers in the inte-
rior back and sides by rotating them counterclockwise.
Remove the shelf pins by rotating them counterclockwise.
Install the pins in the desired location by rotating clockwise. Make sure the pin is securely tightened down. Do
