SAFETY INFORMATION

How to Maintain Your Freezer

/ Refrigerator to Receive the Most

Efficient and Successful Operation

You have selected one of the  nest commercial refrigeration units made.

It is manufactured under strict quality controls with only the best quality

materials available. Your TRUE cooler 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.

This cabinet contains fluorinated greenhouse gas covered by the Kyoto Protocol

(please refer to cabinet’s inner label for type and volume,

GWP of 134a= 1,300. R404a= 3,800).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

This refrigerator 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 refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator 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.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a quali ed
individual.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.

Setting temperature controls to the 0 position

does not remove power to the light circuit,
perimeter heaters, or evaporator fans.

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER!

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE FREEZER /
REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous… even if they will sit for “just a few
days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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.

INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
OWNERSHIP

To insure that your unit works properly from the
first day, it must be installed properly. We highly
recommend a trained refrigeration mechanic and
electrician install your True equipment. The cost
of a professional installation is money well spent.

Before you start to install your True unit,
carefully inspect it for freight damage. If damage
is discovered, immediately file a claim with the
delivery freight carrier.

True is not responsible for damage incurred
during shipment.

REQUIRED TOOLS

Adjustable Wrench

Phillips Head Screwdriver

UNCRATING

NOTE:

Units with a solar thermometer will experience a 15

second delay after exposed to light before it reads

the proper temperature.

The following procedure is recommended for uncrating
the unit:

A. Remove the outer packaging, (cardboard and

bubbles or styrofoam corners and clear plastic).
Inspect for concealed damage. Again, immediately
file a claim with the freight carrier if there is
damage.

B. Move your unit as close to the final location as

possible before removing the wooden skid.

C. Remove door bracket on swinging glass door models

(see image 1-2). Sliding glass door models contain
shipping blocks (three for each door). Remove
the two styrofoam blocks taped to the top of the
door tracks (see image 3). The shipping blocks
are orange in color and by opening the door a little
the blocks can be removed (see images 4-6). Do
not throw the bracket or blocks away. For future
cabinet movement the bracket and blocks will need
to be installed so the glass door does not receive any
damage. (See image for bracket and shipping block
removal)

Note: Keys for coolers with door locks are located in
warranty packets

Warning

Warranty is void if ventilation is insufficient.

B. Proper leveling of your True cooler is critical to
operating success (for non-mobile models). Effective
condensate removal and door operation will be effected
by leveling.

C. The cooler should be leveled front to back and side
to side with a level.

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

E. Free plug and cord from inside the lower rear of the
cooler (do not plug in).
