SAFETY INFORMATION

How to Maintain Your

Freezer to Receive the Most Efficient

and Successful Operation

You have selected one of the finest commercial freezer units made. It is

manufactured under strict quality controls with only the best quality materials

available. Your TRUE freezer when properly maintained will give you many

years of trouble-free service.

WARNING!

Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in

this Owner Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

This freezer must be properly installed and located in

accordance with the Installation Instructions before it
is used.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the

shelves in the freezer. They could damage the freezer
and seriously injure themselves.

Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin
may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.

Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances

between the doors and between the doors and cabinet
are necessarily small; be careful closing doors when
children are in the area.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

Unplug the freezer before cleaning and making
repairs.

Setting temperature controls to the 0 position does

not remove power to the evaporator fan.

SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER!

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE
REFRIGERATOR

True Food Service Equipment, Inc.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators/ freezers are still
dangerous… even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If
you are getting rid of your old freezer please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator
or Freezer:

Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

Refrigerant Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that uses “Ozone Depleting ” chemicals. If you are
throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the
refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified service technician. If you intentionally
release any refrigerants you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of the
environmental regulations.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD! TRUE will not warranty any freezer that has been connected to
an extension cord.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possi­bility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your per­sonal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with the properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The freezer should always be plugged into it’s own indi­vidual electrical circuit, which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading building wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the
outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or
at either end.

When removing the freezer away from the wall, be care­ful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

NEVER USE AN ADAPTER PLUG! Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

North America Use Only!

NEMA plugs

TRUE uses these types of plugs.

If you do not have the right outlet have

a certified electrician install the correct

power source.
