Traulsen UL Series, UC Series Care & Maintenance, VI. MISC. Operations, Cleaning the Exterior

IV. OPERATION (continued)

IV. b - FREEZERS (cont’d):

trols function upon termination of a defrost cycle is two-fold. First, to prevent blowing warm air into the food storage area. Second, to prevent any conden- sation on the defrost coil from being blown into the food storage area.

The INTELA-TRAUL control is set from the factory to terminate defrost at 20 minutes in the event of a sen- sor failure. This setting should never be tampered with, without first consulting the factory.

IV. c - CONDENSATE REMOVAL:

Both refrigerator and freezer units are supplied with an electric condensate evaporator for condensate re- moval.

V. c - REPLACING THE GASKETS:

To remove the gasket to be replaced, grasp it firmly by one corner and pull it out. Before attempting to install a new gasket, both the unit and the gasket itself must be at room temperature. Insert the four corners first by using a rubber mallet (or hammer with a block of wood). After the corners are properly inserted, work your way towards the center from both ends by gently hitting with a mallet until the gasket is completely seated in place (see figure 5 for proper gasket place- ment).

V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER:

The most important thing you can do to insure a long, reliable service life for your Traulsen is to regularly clean the condenser coil.

The condensing unit requires regularly scheduled cleaning to keep the finned condenser clean of lint and dust accummulation. The INTELA-TRAUL con- trol will notify you through a “CLN-FIL”message when cleaning is necessary (see page 7). Keeping the con- denser clean allows the cabinet to operate more effi- ciently and use less energy.

To clean the condenser, first disconnect electrical power to the cabinet and remove the front louver as- sembly. To remove this, follow the directions in sec- tion VI. d - Step #1. Once the screws are removed, the panel can be removed allowing full access to the powerpack. Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the finned condenser coil, the compressor and other cooling system parts. If significant dirt is clog- ging the condenser fins, use compressed air to blow this clear.

Replace louver assembly, screws and caps.

V. b - HINGE REPLACEMENT:

Both the door and hinge can be easily removed from the cabinet. To remove the door, remove the plug at the bottom of the top hinge. Inside the hinge there is a small screw which secures the door in place. Re- move this with a flat head screwdriver and the door can then be lifted off the hinge. To remove the door half of the hinge from the door, lift off the hinge cover and then remove the three Phillips head screws which secure the hinge in place on the door. To remove the cabinet half of the hinge, remove the three Phillips head screws which hold it in place. To reassemble the hinge reverse the previous procedure.

NOTE: The gasket may appear too large, but if it is installed as indicated above it will slip into place.

V. d - CLEANING THE EXTERIOR:

Exterior stainless steel should be cleaned with warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Apply with a damp- ened cloth and wipe in the direction of the metal grain.

Avoid the use of strong detergents and gritty, abra- sive cleaners as they may tend to mar and scratch the surface. Do NOT use cleansers containing chlorine, this may promote corrosion of the stainless steel.

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).

V. e - CLEANING THE INTERIOR:

For cleaning both stainless steel and anodized alumi- num interiors, the use of baking soda as described in section “V. d” is recommended. Use on breaker strips as well as door gaskets. All interior fittings are re- movable without tools to facilitate cleaning.

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT.
