Setup
Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the carrier immediately.
Placement
Position the refrigerator on a level, sturdy surface capable of supporting its weight (approximately 395 pounds). Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Maintain a minimum of 6 inches of clearance from walls or other equipment for proper airflow to the condenser. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heat-generating appliances.
The unit is equipped with 6-inch high casters for mobility. Ensure casters are locked once the unit is in its final position to prevent accidental movement.
Electrical Connection
The Traulsen G11010 operates on 115V/60Hz/1ph power, drawing 7.4 amps. It is equipped with a NEMA 5-15P plug. Connect the unit to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs.
Operating Instructions
Initial Startup
After connecting to power, allow the unit to run for at least 2-4 hours empty to reach the desired operating temperature before loading with products.
Microprocessor Control
The refrigerator is equipped with a microprocessor control system for precise temperature management. Refer to the control panel for current temperature display and adjustment options. Consult the separate microprocessor control guide for detailed programming instructions, including setting temperature set points, defrost cycles, and alarms.
Loading the Refrigerator
Distribute products evenly on the three factory-installed epoxy-coated shelves. Do not block the internal air circulation vents. Overloading the unit or blocking airflow can impair cooling performance.
Internal Lighting
The unit features internal lighting to illuminate the contents. The light switch is typically located near the control panel or inside the cabinet. Turn off lights when not needed to conserve energy.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your refrigerator.
Cleaning
- Interior: Clean the interior regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
- Exterior: Wipe down the stainless steel front and anodized aluminum sides with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. For the glass door, use a standard glass cleaner.
- Gaskets: Inspect door gaskets for tears or damage. Clean gaskets regularly with warm, soapy water to maintain a proper seal.
Condenser Coil Cleaning
The condenser coil should be cleaned every 30-90 days, depending on the operating environment. A dirty condenser coil reduces efficiency and can lead to compressor failure. Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a stiff brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the coil fins.
