VI. CARE & MAINTENANCE
VI. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER/FILTER:
The most important thing you can do to insure a long, reliable service
life for your Traulsen is to regularly clean the condenser coil and or
filter if provided.
The patented microprocessor control will notify you through a "CLN-FIL"
message when the condensing temperature of the refrigerator reaches
140 degrees F or greater. If the condensing temperature reaches 160
degrees F the compressor will automatically turn off . When the tempera-
ture drops below 140 degrees F the compressor will restart and when
the temperature drops below 120 degrees F the alarm will reset.
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT.
To clean the condenser/filter, first disconnect electrical power to the
cabinet and remove the front hinged louver assembly. Proceed to
vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the finned condenser coil/
filter, the compressor and other cooling system parts. If significant dirt
is clogging the condenser fins or filter, use compressed air to blow this
clear. To replace the louver assembly reverse the process.
VI. b - 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 for proper gasket placement).
NOTE: The gasket may appear too large, but if it is installed as
indicated above it will slip into place.

Exterior stainless steel should be cleaned with warm water, mild soap
and a soft cloth. Apply with a dampened cloth and wipe in the direc-
tion 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, such as bleach, this may
promote corrosion of the stainless steel.

Care should also be taken to avoid splashing the unit with water, containing chlo-
rinated cleansers, when mopping the floor around the unit. For stubborn odor or
spills, use baking soda and water (mixed to a 1 tbsp baking soda to 1 pint water
ratio). A stainless steel polish is recommended for shining of unit.

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