I. THE SERIAL TAG
The serial tag is a permanently affixed sticker on
which is recorded vital electrical and refrigeration data
about your Traulsen product, as well as the model
and serial number. This tag is located in the upper
right interior compartment on all reach-in/pass-thru
and roll-in/roll-thru refrigerator, freezer and dual-temp
models. For hot food and proofer models, this tag is
located on the top of the unit behind the louvers to
protect it from the heat.
READING THE SERIAL TAG
• Serial = The permanent ID# of your Traulsen
• Model = The model # of your Traulsen
• Volts = Voltage
• Hz = Cycle
• PH = Phase
• Total Current = Maximum amp draw
• Minimum Circuit = Minimum circuit ampacity
• Lights = Light wattage
• Heaters = Heater amperage (Hot Food units only)
• Refrigerant = Refrigerant type used
• Design Pressure = High & low side operating
pressures and refrigerant charge
• Agency Labels = Designates agency listings
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. All interior fittings
have been carefully secured and the legs or casters
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 filed immediately. If damage is subsequently noted during or immediately after installation, contact the respective carrier and file a freight
claim. Under no condition may a damaged unit be returned to Traulsen & Co. without first obtaining written permission (return authorization).
III. INSTALLATION
III. a -
LOCATION:
Select a proper location for your Traulsen unit, away
from extreme heat or cold. Allow enough clearance
between the unit and the side wall in order to make
use of the door stay open feature at 120° (self-closing
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. b - PACKAGING:
All Traulsen units are shipped from the factory bolted
to a sturdy wooden pallet and packaged in a durable
cardboard container. The carton is attached to the
wooden skid with the use of large staples. These
should first be removed to avoid scratching the unit
when lifting off the crate.
Most exterior stainless steel 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.
III. c - ROLL-IN MODEL INSTALLATION:
Roll-In cabinets set on the floor require the floor area
to be flat and level. In addition, after the cabinet is set
in place, sealant should be used around the perimeter
of the base to comply with National Sanitation Foundation requirements (see figure 1). After sealing the
unit, the enclosed ramp should then be installed.
SEALING BASE OF ROLL-IN MODELS
A SEALANT MUST BE USED
AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE
BASE OF CABINET AS SHOWN TO
FULLY COMPLY WITH SANITARY REQUIREMENTS.
A RECOMMENDED SEALANT IS
DOW CORNING SILASTIC RTV #732
Fig. 1
A stainless steel threshold ramp(s) is included to facilitate rolling in racks. It is shipped wrapped in brown
paper and secured to the rack guides inside the cabinet. To secure it in place, remove the two thumb
screws in the breaker strip near the bottom door opening. Next, loosen the thumb screws located along the
floor at the threshold. Place the ramp(s) on top of the
loosened thumb screws and secure tabs on each end
to breaker strips with thumb screws previously removed. After installing the ramp(s), it too should be
sealed to the floor.
Bumper strips are secured to the back of Roll-In models with thumb screws. Loosen these and make them
finger-tight to conform with the requirements of the
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF).
III. d -
WIRING DIAGRAM:
Refer to the wiring diagram on page 6 for any service
work performed on the unit.
To remove the wooden pallet, first if at all possible, we
suggest that the cabinet remain bolted to the pallet
during all transportation to the point of final installation. 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: Traulsen does not recommend laying the unit
down on its front, side or back. However, if you must
please be certain to allow the unit to remain in an upright position afterwards for 24 hours before plugging
it in so that the compressor oils and refrigerant may
settle.
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). Make connections in accordance with local electrical codes. Use qualified
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).
