LOCATING

A. Use a Phillips screw diver and remove four screws from the

L-bracket connected the unit to the wood skid (image 1). Then use a 3/8" (9.5 mm) socket or wrench and remove the L-bracket from the unit (image 2).

TO AVOID DAMAGE TO GLASS DO NOT LAY CABINET ON ITS SIDE OR BACK WHEN REMOVING SKID, INSTALLING LEG LEVELERS, CLEANING, ETC.

B. Lift up from the base and walk unit off the skid and set in final

location.

C. Unblock doors, free plastic wedges, blue foam and tape.

Remove fiberglass tape securing glass. Remove components: (shelves, brackets, etc.) from inside cabinet.

D. Applicance tested according to the climate classes 5 and 7 for

temperature and relative humidity.

LEVELING

A. Set unit in its final location. Be sure there is adequate ventilation

in your room. Under extreme heat conditions, (100°F+, 38°C+), you may want to install an exhaust fan.

WARNING: WARRANTY IS VOID IF VENTILATION IS INSUFFICIENT.

B. Proper leveling of your TRUE unit is critical to operating success

(for non-mobile models). Effective condensate removal and door operation will be effected by leveling.

WARNING: DISPLAY CASE MUST BE LEVELED ACCURATELY TO ENSURE FRONT GLASS DOOR SEALS PROPERLY.

C. The unit should be leveled front to back and side to side with

a level. Place the level in the interior floor of the unit and check all four sides.

D. If the cabinet is not level adjust leg levelers by first relieving

weight to leveler and adjusting by either hand or wrench. Repeat with all leg levelers until cabinet is level in all directions.

E. Ensure that the drain hose or hoses are positioned in the pan.

F. Models with power cord: Free plug and cord from inside the

lower rear of the cooler (do not plug in).

G. Models with power cord: The unit should be placed close

enough to the electrical supply so that extension cords are never used.

WARNING: CABINET WARRANTIES ARE VOID IF OEM POWER CORD IS TAMPERED WITH. TRUE WILL NOT WARRANTY ANY UNITS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO AN EXTENSION CORD.

RECOMMENDED OPERATION CONDITIONS (75˚F DEGREES & 55% RELATIVE HUMIDITY)

WARNING: DRY BAKERY CASES REQUIRE HARD WIRING UNLESS ORDERED WITH 12" (30.5 CM) CORD OPTION. CABINET WARRANTIES ARE VOID IF OEM POWER CORD IS TAMPERED WITH. TRUE WILL NOT WARRANTY ANY UNITS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO AN EXTENSION CORD.
