IV. FIRST TIME START-UP V. DAILY OPERATION

If this equipment has been stored or shipped in an ambient colder than room temperature, YOU MUST ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR TO WARM UP TO ROOM TEMPERATURE PRIOR TO CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY. This could take several hours.

IV. a - POWER SWITCH:

The power switch is located at main electrical box behind the louver panel and is shipped from the factory in the OFF position.

IV. b - CORD & PLUG:

All self-contained VPS models are supplied with a cord

&NEMA three-prong grounding plug attached. It is shipped coiled at the bottom of the compressor compartment, secured by a nylon strip. Plug the power cord into the proper NEMA receptacle then turn the power switch ON.

IV. c - DEFROST TIMER & TEMPERATURE CONTROL: After the unit is plugged in and turned on, set the defrost timer by turning the small knob (near the outer edge of the large dial) clockwise until the correct time of day on the large dial lines up with the TIME pointer. Defrost times are set from the factory at 10am, 2pm, 8pm, 2am and 6am. Refer to section “VII. f” for more info (see figure 7).

V.a - PANS:

Standard rail VPS models are designed to operate with full, half or third size pans without the use of adapter bars. Other fractional size pans can be used with optional adapter bars available from Traulsen. (see section “X. b” for more info).

Jumbo rail VPS models are designed to operate with full size pans without the use of adapter bars. Other fractional size pans can be used with optional adapter bars available from Traulsen. (see section “X. b” for more info).

Use only stainless steel or aluminum food pans no more than 4” deep in order to maintain product temperatures within the current NSF Standard 7 guidelines

V. b - SETTING UP THE RAIL:

Install pans in all pan spaces in the rail. Rest each pan evenly on the front and back support ledges. Do not use uneven or bent pans, as these will allow circulating cold air to escape.

Allow the unit to reach operating temperature before loading any food product. Load only refrigerated product @ 36oF or below.

All pan spaces should be filled, even if some pans are empty (even during nighttime storage).

When not in constant use, the VPS rail covers should be kept closed over the pans.

V. c - LOADING THE UNIT BASE:

When loading product into the base take care that the evaporator fans, located at the top of the compartment, are not obstructed. Secure all paper and plastic wrap to prevent it being drawn into the fans. Keep the doors closed except when loading or removing product.

V. d - CLOSING DOWN THE RAIL AT NIGHT:

Food product may be stored in the rail overnight if needed. Cover the entire rail with plastic wrap prior to closing the rail covers over the pans.
