Quick Start Guide

1. RECEIPT & SUPPORT INSTALLATION:

You should carefully inspect your Traulsen unit for damage during delivery. If damage is detected, you should save all the crating materials and make note on the carrier’s Bill Of Lading describing this. A freight claim should be filed within 5 days.

After uncrating the unit, select a level location for final placement. Install the casters (or optional leg supports) as shown below.
Supports: “Stem” type casters (standard). “Stem” type legs (optional).

**Some models may use R-290 (Propane) as a refrigerant. If flammable refrigerant is present, follow instructions as labeled on the unit. Proper care must be taken to avoid any damage to refrigeration system including refrigerant tubing, condenser, evaporator coils during handling, moving, installation and cleaning as it may cause risk of fire or explosion. If damaged, unit must be moved to well ventilated area away from any sources of ignition.**

Further service and repair must be performed by qualified refrigeration technicians familiar with applicable safety standards for flammable refrigerants. Technicians must use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow applicable safety precautions to avoid risk of fire or explosion.

All models (except compact undercounter) should be installed to allow at least 12″ of clear space above the unit. In all cases the louvers must be free of any obstruction which could prevent proper air-flow.

Most units are supplied with a cord and plug, which can simply be plugged into a dedicated appropriately sized outlet. For those requiring hard-wiring directly to the power supply, this should be done by a qualified electrician only.

2. CONTROL OVERVIEW:

Most Traulsen equipment is plug and play, such as G Series and most Compacts. However, once power is supplied to the unit, you may make minor adjustments to your Traulsen unit.

2A- CONTROLLER DISPLAY

TR36058 P/N 375-60352-00 (09-15-17)

2B – UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY:

On the Left Side of the display, there are colored LEDs for showing the temperature, status of the compressor, fans, lock/unlock status, etc.

On the Right Side of the display, there are 5 capacitive touch buttons for managing the operation of the unit.

2C – UNLOCKING THE KEYPAD:

Normally, the keypad is locked to prevent inadvertent changes to settings. The Unlock Key is a white dot on the right side of the display, centered between the other 4 keys. Press the Unlock key twice within a second in order to unlock the keypad (think “tap-tap”). The Keypad Unlocked LED will turn on to indicate the keypad is now live. The keypad will stay unlocked until there is 3 minutes of inactivity, at which time it will automatically lock the keypad. There are 2 operations the user can perform without having to enter a password:

• Change the temperature setpoint • Initiate a defrost operation

2D – CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE SETPOINT:

The setpoint to the unit can be changed simply by pressing the Plus or Minus Key. Their will be a slight delay at first to prevent an accidental change, so it will be necessary to hold the key for 3-4 seconds until the value starts to flash. The flashing value indicates the setting is being modified. To raise the setpoint, press the Plus Key to increment to the setpoint you want. Similarly, press the Minus Key to lower the setpoint. When the desired value is reached, press the Enter/Display Key to lock in the value. Pressing the Esc Key will abort the process and keep the original setpoint. The keypad must be unlocked in order to change the setpoint using the shortcut method.

2E – INITIATE A DEFROST OPERATION:

Defrost is a necessary operation to remove frost that builds up on the evaporator coil and reduces air flow within the cabinet. Normally this is done automatically based on a time interval and the ambient conditions of the environment. A special sensor is used to measure the humidity in the air to adjust the defrost interval depending upon humidity levels. The nominal defrost intervals are shown in table.

To manually defrost the unit, press the Minus Key and the Esc Key simultaneously and hold for 5 seconds. Units equipped with an LED temperature display will indicate when a defrost cycle is in process. The Defrost Symbol will illuminate letting you know defrost is in effect. Depending on the settings, the unit may also show “DEF”.

3 – HOT FOODS CABINETS – UNLOCKING THE KEYPAD:

Normally, the keypad is locked to prevent inadvertent changes to settings. The Unlock Key is a white dot on the right side of the display, centered between the other 4 keys. Press the Unlock Key twice within a second in order to unlock the keypad (think “tap-tap”). The Keypad Unlocked LED will turn on to indicate the keypad is now live. The keypad will stay unlocked until there is 3 minutes of inactivity, at which time it will automatically lock the keypad. There are 2 operations the user can perform without having to enter a password:

When the desired value is reached, press the Enter Key to lock in the value. Pressing the Esc Key will abort the process and keep the original setpoint. The keypad must be unlocked in order to change the setpoint using the shortcut method.

3B – HOT FOODS CABINETS – TURN THE HEATERS OFF:

The keypad must be unlocked in order to de-activate the heaters. Press the Unlock key twice within a second in order to unlock the keypad. The Keypad Unlocked LED will turn on to indicate the keypad is active. To turn the unit off, press and hold the Unlock Key until the display shows “oFF”. To turn the unit ON, press the Unlock Key until the display shows the temperature.

4 – GENERAL CARE:

Disconnect electrical power supply before cleaning any parts of the unit.
All Traulsen equipment should be cleaned only with warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Apply with a dampened cloth and wipe in the direction of the metal grain.

Avoid the use of strong detergents and gritty, abrasive cleaners as they may tend to mar and scratch the surface. Do not use cleansers containing chlorine, this may promote metal corrosion.

Care should also be taken to avoid splashing the unit with water, containing chlorinated cleansers, when mopping the floor around the unit. For stubborn odor spills, use baking soda and water (mixed to a 1 TBSP baking soda to 1 pint water ratio).

5 – ADJUSTING THE SHELVES:

Shelves Mounted On Pins
First select the desired location and remove the white plastic covers in the interior back and sides by rotating them counter-clockwise. Install the pins in the desired location by rotating them clockwise. Make sure the pin is securely tightened down. Do not over tighten. Slide the shelf into its new position, and replace the white plastic covers into the holes vacated by the shelf pins.

Shelves Mounted On Clips & Pilasters
Shelves and shelf clips are shipped with the unit. For each shelf, insert four (4) shelf clips into the pilaster slots at the same height. The shelf clips have a small projection on top which holds the shelf in position and prevents it from slipping forward. After installing shelf clips on pilasters, place shelves on clips.

6 – CLEANING THE CONDENSER:

Disconnect electrical power supply before cleaning any parts of the unit.
This is the single most important thing you can do to promote long, efficient equipment life. For All Upright Cabinets, remove the two bottom screws securing the louver panel, then pivot this upwards allowing full access to the front facing condenser. Contact factory technical assistance at 800-825-8220 for all Compact Undercounter and Compact Prep-Table.

G Series Reach-In & Pass Thru – Screw Location
Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the finned condenser coil, around the compressor and other cooling system parts as indicated. If significant dirt is clogging the condenser fins, use compressed air to blow this clear. When finished reverse the louver removal process as instructed above.

7 – TROUBLE SHOOTING:

Some models may use R-290 (Propane) as a refrigerant. Service and repair must be performed by qualified refrigeration technicians familiar with applicable safety standards for flammable refrigerants. Technicians must use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow applicable safely precautions to avoid risk of fire or explosion. Service and repair must be performed in well ventilated and unconfined area, away from any ignition sources. All system components must be replaced with like components. Factory recommends to use exact make and models to assure the consistent performance and to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts. In case of uncertainty or parts unavailability, contact Traulsen technical assistance at800-825-8220.
