C-Light Switch; Care & Maintenance; A-Cleaning The Condenser; B-Hinge Replacement - Traulsen G Series Owner's Manual

IV. OPERATION (cont'd)
IV. c - LIGHT SWITCHES:
All G-Series models include a concealed light switch mounted in
the top door hinge(s), which automatically activates the interior
light when the door is opened. When the door is closed, the lights
are not operating.
In addition, on hinged glass door models, an exterior mounted,
illuminated red switch is included for manual light control. In the
ON position, the lights are illuminated whether the doors are open
or not. In the OFF position, the lights are controlled by the hinge
switch as described in the first paragraph.'
IV. d - SPECIAL DISPLAY OPERATING MODE:
G-Series models built during the summer of 2009 and beyond
will include a special control mode which disables the external
temperature display. Note that before doing so you must install an
interior mounted thermometer in order to conform with local health
codes.
To initiate this mode press the up and down arrows simultane-
ously for 1 second until the temperature display goes blank. The
temperature display will remain disabled indefinately until such
time as the operator wishes to restore normal operation. To do
so simply repeat the process of pressing the up and down ar-
rows simultaneously for 1 second until the temperature display
illuminates.
NOTE: In the event power is interrupted for any reason the
display will return to standard operating mode where it dis-
plays the correct cabinet air temperature.
V. CARE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT.
V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER:
The most important thing you can do to insure a long, reliable ser-
vice 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 accummula-
tion. Keeping the condenser clean allows the cabinet to operate
more efficiently and use less energy. To clean the condenser,
first disconnect electrical power to the cabinet and lift up the front
louver assembly. To lift this, remove the two screws located on
both sides at the bottom of the louver assembly (see figure 5).
Once the screws are removed, the panel can be pivoted upwards
allowing full access to the front facing condenser (see figure 6).
V. CARE & MAINTENANCE (cont'd)
V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER (cont'd):
Fig. 6
Lift-Up Louver
Assembly
Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the finned
condenser coil, the compressor and other cooling system
parts. If significant dirt is clogging the condenser fins,
use compressed air to blow this clear. Care should be
taken not to bend any of the condenser fins, as this will
reduce performance and compressor life. Lower louver
assembly and replace screws to hold it in place.
V. b - HINGE REPLACEMENT:
To remove the door, remove the plug at the bottom of the
top hinge. Behind this is a screw which secures the door
in place. Remove this with a flat head screwdriver and
then lift the door off the hinge. To remove the door portion
of the hinge, lift off the hinge cover and then remove the
3 Phillips head screws which secure the hinge in place.
To remove the cabinet portion of the hinge, remove the 3
Phillips head screws which hold it in place. On solid door
units, the top hinge(s) contains a switch for controlling the
lights.To reassemble the hinge reverse the procedure.
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 gasket must be at room
temperature. Insert the four corners first by using a rub-
ber 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 7 for
proper gasket placement).
NOTE: The gasket may
appear too large, but if it
is installed as indicated
above it will slip into
place.
