• 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 preformed by a qualified

individual.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and

making repairs.

• Setting temperature controls to the 0 position

does not remove power to the light circuit,

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE

REFRIGERATOR

DANGER!

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD! TRUE will not warranty any refrigerator that has been connected to

an extension cord.

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 refrigera-

tor, 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.

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 quali-

fied 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.

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.

WARNING!

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.

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.

UNCRATING

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 skid by unscrewing all base rail anchor

brackets. (See image removing skid). Place skid

to the side.

LOCATING

D. Set unit in its final location. Be sure there is

adequate ventilation in your room. Under

extreme heat conditions, (90°F+, 32°C+), you

may want to install an exhaust fan. True

recommends a two inch clearance behind the

static condenser coil. It is not recommended to

fit the unit into any kind of alcove.

Warning

Warranty is void if ventilation is insufficient.

E. The unit should be placed close enough to the

electrical supply so that extension cords are

never used. (do not plug in).

UNCRATING & LOCATING

Removing

skid from

bottom of

cabinet.

REMOVE COVER MAKE POWER CONNECTION

A. 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.

B. The cooler should be leveled front to back and

side to side with a level.

C. Ensure that the drain hose or hoses are posi-

tioned in the pan.

D. Free plug and cord from inside the lower rear of

the cooler (do not plug in).

Warning

Compressor warranties are void if the

unit is more than 7 ft. (2.1m) from

INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. Before your new unit is connected to a

power supply, check the incoming voltage with a

voltmeter. If anything less than 100% of the rated

voltage for operation is noted, correct immediately.

True requires that a sole use circuit be dedicated for

the unit. Failure to do so voids warranty.

WARNING

Compressor warranties are void if compressor burns

out due to low voltage.

WARNING

Power supply cord ground should not be removed!

ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS

A. The compressor is ready to operate. Plug in the

cooler.

B. The refrigerator is designed to maintain cabinet

temperatures of 38˚F to 40˚F (3.3˚C to 4.4˚C).

C. Excessive tampering with the control could

lead to service difficulties. Should it ever become

necessary to replace temperature control, be sure it

is ordered from your True dealer or recommended

service agent.

D. Good air flow in your True unit is critical. Be

careful to load product so that it neither presses

against the back wall, nor comes within two inches

of the evaporator housing. Refrigerated air off the

coil must circulate down the back wall.

NOTE

If the cooler is disconnected or shut off, wait five

minutes before starting again.

RECOMMENDATION

Before loading product we recommend you run your

True unit empty for two to three days. This allows you

to be sure electrical wiring and installation are correct

and no shipping damage has occurred. Remember,

our factory warranty does not cover product loss!

MAINTENANCE, CARE & CLEANING

True Food Service Equipment, Inc.

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.

1) Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, and steel pads are just a few examples of items that can be

abrasive to stainless steel’s surface.

2) 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.

3) Chlorides are present in table salt, food, and water. Household and industrial cleaners are the worst

type of chlorides to use.

8 steps that can help prevent rust on stainless steel:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Maintaining the cleanliness of your food equipment

Use cleaners at recommended strength (alkaline, 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.

6. 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.

7. Hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) should never be used on stainless steel

8. Regularly restore/passivate stainless steel

STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT CARE AND CLEANING

............ www.truemfg.com ............

10 10

• The exterior may be wiped clean with mild soap

and water.

CAUTION: Do not use any steel wool, abrasive or

chlorine based products to clean stainless steel

surfaces.

• The interior of the cooler should be cleaned

periodically and we recommend a mild solution

of diluted baking soda and water which will help

reduce any inherent odors. Do not use harsh

cleaners on any surface of the interior.

CABINET CLEANING

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 Ecoshine 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.
