DANGER!
RISK OF CHILD
ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE UNIT
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 UNIT:
- Take off the doors.
- Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD! TRUE will not war-ranty any refrigerator
that has been connected to an extension cord.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
- Component parts shall be replaced with like components.
- Servicing shall be done by authorized service personnel, to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
- Lamps must be replaced by identical lamps only.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG FROM THE POWER
CORD. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord from this appliance is equipped with a grounding plug which
minimizes the possibility of electric shock hazard. 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
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 over-heated
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. If supply power cord is damaged it
should be replaced with original equipment manufacture parts. To avoid hazard
this should be done by a qualified service technician.
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.
The incoming power source to the cabinet including any adapters used must have
the adequate power available and must be properly grounded. Only adapters
listed with UL should be used.
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.
NOTE:
International plug configurations vary by voltage and country.
INSTALLATION
OWNERSHIP
To ensure 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

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the 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 grounding plug which mates with a standard 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 wall outlet. The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical circuit, which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best perfor-mance and also prevents overloading building wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your unit 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 unit away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
ELECTRIC INSTALLATION & SAFETY INFORMATION
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
- Lamps must be replaced by identical lamps only.

OPEN HOLES LOCATED ON THE CROSS MEMBERS OF THE FRAME RAIL SHOULD BE PLUGGED
BEFORE UNIT IS IN USE.
LEVELING
- A. Proper leveling of your TRUE unit is critical to operating success (for non-mobile models). Effective door operation will be effected by leveling.
- B. The unit should be leveled front to back and side to side with a level.
- C. Free plug and cord from the top of the unit (do not plug in).
- D. The unit should be placed close enough to the electrical supply so that extension cords are never used.
NOTE:
If the cabinet has a center leveling screw, castor, or leg, make sure it is
adjusted properly so it makes full contact with the floor after the cabinet
has been leveled.
WARNING:
WARRANTIES ARE VOID IF THE
UNIT IS MORE THAN 7 FT. (2.1M) FROM PLUG-IN CONNECTION.
SEALING CABINET TO FLOOR
STEP 1 – Position Cabinet – Allow one inch between the wall and rear of
the refrigerator to assure proper ventilation. For freezers 3 inches between
the wall and rear of the cabinet will assure proper ventilation.
STEP 2 – Level Cabinet – Cabinet should be level, side to side and front
to back. Place a carpenter’s level in the interior floor in four places:
- A. Position level in the inside floor of the unit near the doors.(Level should be parallel to cabinet front). Level cabinet.
- B. Position level at the inside rear of cabinet. (Again level should be placed parallel to cabinet back).
- C. Perform similar procedures to steps A & B by placing the level on inside floor (left and right sides – parallel to the depth of the cooler). Level cabinet.
STEP 3 – Draw an outline on the base on the floor.
STEP 4 – Raise and block the front side of the cabinet.
STEP 5 – Apply a bead of NSF Approved Sealant, (see list below), to floor
on half inch inside the outline drawn. The bead must be heavy enough to seal
the entire cabinet surface when it is down on the sealant.
STEP 6 – Raise and block the rear of the cabinet
STEP 7 – Apply sealant on floor as outlined in Step 5 on other three
sides.
STEP 8 – Examine to see that cabinet is sealed to floor around entire
perimeter.
NOTE:
Asphalt floors are very susceptible to chemical attack. A layer of tape on
the floor prior to applying the sealant will protect the floor.

Pilaster installation (back wall of cabinet for two & three door models)
Each TRUE Specification Series (STR, STA, and STG) is available with two pilaster configurations. Each configuration depends on the end user preference. Multiple door units can have two configurations for each section. .
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES (PILASTERS):
Install slotted thumb screws into threaded holes along the inside wall of the
cabinet. Slide pilasters into position behind the slotted screws. Leave all of
the thumb screws loose for adjustments when installing tray slides. It is
critical to measure from the center of the square hole on the front pilaster
to the center hole of the rear pilaster. This measurement should be 24 5/8″
(625 mm).
- Critical measurement front to rear pilasters
Do the same on the opposite side of cabinet for single door. Make sure the measurement of 24 5/8″ (625 mm) is the same in the center pilasters in 2 and 3 door units. Tap the tray slides into the Pilasters with a rubber Mallet. Angle & Rod Type shelving uses a 18 1/8″ (460 mm) distance between Pilasters. Universal Tray slides have a 21 1/4″ (540 mm) distance between Pilasters.
- Top view: Critical Measurement side to side
After the pilasters are installed the Universal Tray, Angle Type Tray, and Rod Style Tray Slides will slide into the pilasters. See images 1-6. When disassembling or changing tray slides a rubber mallet may be used to take out the different tray slides. Gently tap on the under side of the tray slide to loosen it from the pilaster.
DOOR OPERATION
DOOR CONFIGURATION:
After installing, cabinet doors can be adjusted for alignment. The hinge on
the door and hinge on the cabinet can be adjusted accordingly.
STEP 1
To remove door open at a 90˚ angle from the cabinet and lift door up and out
from the cabinet hinges carefully avoiding rain shield. Rest the door in a
safe area.
STEP 2
Remove gray plastic cover from hinge located on the cabinet. Use a standard screw driver and pry
out the gray cover. This exposes the three Phillips screws anchoring the hinge
to the cabinet. Loosen
these three screws but don’t remove them. Adjustment can be made slightly
up/down and side to side.
STEP 3
The hinge on the cabinet door can also be adjusted. Remove cover from hinge
located on the door. Pull on the cover directly out from the door. This exposes the three Phillips
screws anchoring the hinge to the door. Loosen these three screws but don’t
remove them. The hinge can be moved side to side, up and down.
NOTE:
WHEN TIGHTENING THE HINGES TO THE CABINET AND DOOR DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE TO
THE PHILLIPS SCREWS. CAREFULLY ANCHOR THEM WITHOUT APPLYING EXTREME AMOUNTS OF
PRESSURE.
STEP 4
To adjust the lock latch remove two Phillips screws and the latch can be put
to the side for later reinstallation. The lock base that anchors the latch can be adjusted simply
by loosening the two Phillips screws, but not removing them. Then the lock
base can be moved side to side for adjustment. After adjustment is complete tighten the lock base and
install the latch back into place.

MAINTENANCE, CARE, CLEANING
STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION:
Do not use any steel wool, abrasive or chlorine based products to clean
stainless steel surfaces.
STAINLESS STEEL OPPONENTS
There are three basic things which can break down your stainless steel’s
passivity layer and allow corrosion to rear its ugly head.
- Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, and steel pads are just a few examples of items that can be abrasive to stainless steel’s surface.
- Deposits left on your stainless steel can leave spots. You may have hard or soft water depending on what part of the country you live in. Hard water can leave spots. Hard water that is heated can leave deposits if left to sit too long. These deposits can cause the passive layer to break down and rust your stainless steel. All deposits left from food prep or service should be removed as soon as possible.
- Chlorides are present in table salt, food, and water. Household and industrial cleaners are the worst type of chlorides to use.
RECOMMENDED CLEANERS FOR CERTAIN SITUATIONS / ENVIRONMENTS OF STAINLESS STEEL
- A. Soap, ammonia and detergent medallion applied with a cloth or sponge can be used for routine cleaning.
- B. Arcal 20, Lac-O-Nu Eco shine applied provides barrier film for fingerprints and smears.
- C. Cameo, Talc, Zud First Impression is applied by rubbing in the direction of the polished lines for stubborn stains and discoloring.
- D. Easy-off and De-Grease It oven aid are excellent for removals on all finishes for grease-fatty acids, blood and burnt-on foods.
- E. Any good commercial detergent can be applied with a sponge or cloth to remove grease and oil.
- F. Benefit, Super Sheen, Sheila Shine are good for restoration /passivation.
NOTE:
The use of stainless steel cleaners or other such solvents is not
recommended on plastic parts. Warm soap and water will suffice.
STEPS THAT CAN HELP PREVENT RUST ON STAINLESS STEEL:
-
USING THE CORRECT CLEANING TOOLS
Use non-abrasive tools when cleaning your stainless steel products. The stainless steel’s passive layer will not be harmed by soft cloths and plastic scouring pads. Step 2 tells you how to find the polishing marks. -
CLEANING ALONG THE POLISH LINES
Polishing lines or “grain” are visible on some stainless steels. Always scrub parallel to visible lines on some stainless steels. Use a plastic scouring pad or soft cloth when you cannot see the grain. -
USE ALKALINE, ALKALINE CHLORINATED OR NON-CHLORIDE CONTAINING CLEANERS
While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an ever increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you are not sure of your cleaner’s chloride content contact your cleaner supplier. If they tell you that your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask if they have an alternative. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salts as they can attack stainless steel, causing pitting and rusting. -
WATER TREATMENT
To reduce deposits, soften the hard water when possible. Installation of certain filters can remove corrosive and distasteful elements. Salts in a properly maintained water softener can be to your advantage. Contact a treatment specialist if you are not sure of the proper water treatment. -
MAINTAINING THE CLEANLINESS OF YOUR FOOD EQUIPMENT
Use cleaners at the recommended strength (alkaline chlorinated or non- chloride). Avoid build-up of hard stains by cleaning frequently. When boiling water with your stainless steel equipment, the single most likely cause of damage is chlorides in the water. Heating any cleaners containing chlorides will have the same damaging effects. -
RINSE
When using chlorinated cleaners you must rinse and wipe dry immediately. It is better to wipe standing cleaning agents and water as soon as possible. Allow the stainless steel equipment to air dry. Oxygen helps maintain the passivity film on stainless steel. -
HYDROCHLORIC ACID (MURIATIC ACID) SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON STAINLESS STEEL
-
REGULARLY RESTORE/PASSIVATE STAINLESS STEEL
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RAINSHIELD
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
CAUTION:
BEFORE PERFORMING SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE MAKE SURE RAINSHIELD IS SECURED IN
OPEN POSITION. USE INSTRUCTIONS AND PHOTOS BELOW TO SECURE RAINSHIELD.
- Remove thumbscrews on the top of each cabinet end.
- Lift rain shield (careful not to pull on any wires)
- Reinstall thumbscrews
- A. The thumbscrews should be put through rain shield holes and fastened into previous position in cabinet end.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE TOP RAINSHIELD IS CORRECTLY SEATED IN THE OPEN POSITION.
