Tools Required
The following procedure is recommended for uncrating the unit:
NOTE: Remember to leave cabinet upright for 24 hours before plugging into a power source. Keys for cabinet with door locks are located in the warranty packet.
Units may pose a tipping hazard while uncrating, during installation, or when moving the unit.
Leveling legs are provided to assist with leveling the cabinet.
With access to the bottom of the cabinet, thread the leveling legs into the holes used to secure the cabinet to the skid. See figs. 1 and 2.
Adjustable legs will provide 6" (152 mm) of clearance under the cabinet. Castors provide cabinet mobility.
NOTE: If the cabinet has a center leveling screw, castor, or leg, make sure it is adjusted properly so it makes full contact with the floor after the cabinet has been leveled.
Required Tools
Adjustable Wrench
6" Leveling Legs
Castors
NOTE: Install shims in pairs and ensure the shims contact the castor mounting bolts.
Proper leveling of your TRUE cooler is critical to operating success (for non-mobile models). Leveling impacts effective condensate removal and door operation.
Level the unit front-to-back and side-to-side.
NOTE: If the cabinet has a center leveling screw, castor, or leg, make sure it is adjusted properly so it makes full contact with the floor after the cabinet has been leveled.
Asphalt floors are susceptible to chemical attack. A layer of tape may be placed on the floor prior to applying the sealant to protect the floor.
NSF-Approved Sealants
Use of Adapter Plugs
NEVER USE AN ADAPTER PLUG! An adapter plug alters the original OEM plug configuration when connecting it to a power source.
TRUE will not warranty any refrigerator/freezer that has been connected to an adapter plug.
Use of Extension Cords
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD! An extension cord is determined to be any component that adds length to the original OEM power cord when connecting it to a power source.
TRUE will not warranty any refrigerator/freezer that has been connected to an extension cord.
NEMA Plug Configurations
60 HZ USE ONLY!
TRUE uses these types of NEMA plugs shown. If you DO NOT have the proper outlet, have a licensed electrician verify and install the correct power source.
International (IEC) Plugs Only
International cabinets may be supplied with a power cord that will require installation. Install this cord before connecting the unit to a power source.
NOTE: International plug configurations will vary by country and voltage
Installation
Fully seat the power cord into the cabinet receptacle until it locks in position.
Removal
Depress the red button.

True STR/STA/STG cabinets have four shelving/tray options.
Shelf/Tray Configurations
Each shelf/tray kit has two options: A full kit and a half kit. Full kits have pilasters as tall as the cabinet interior. Half kits have pilasters half the height of the cabinet interior. This makes shelving and tray configurations adjustable to best suit the customer application. Please see examples of configurations below.

Warranty Information
THE CLEANING OF THE CONDENSER IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY!
If you have any questions, please contact your local TRUE Manufacturing Service Department. See the front cover for locations and contact information.
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 form.
Stainless Steel Cleaning and Restoration
DO NOT use stainless steel cleaners or similar solvents to clean plastic or powder-coated parts. Instead, use warm soapy water.
NOTE: The use of proprietary names is intended for example only and does not constitute or imply an endorsement. Omission of proprietary cleansers from this list does not imply inadequacy.
Maintain the Cleanliness of Your Equipment
Avoid build-up of hard stains by cleaning frequently. Use cleaners at the recommended strength (alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride).
Use 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.
Clean Along Polishing Lines
Polishing lines ("grain") are visible on some stainless steels. Always scrub parallel to polishing lines when visible. Use a plastic scouring pad or soft cloth when you cannot see the grain.
Use Alkaline, Alkaline-Chlorinated or Non-Chloride 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.
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.
Never Use Hydrochloric Acid (Muriatic Acid) on Stainless Steel
Even diluted, hydrochloric acid can cause corrosion, pitting and stress corrosion cracking of stainless steel.
Water Treatment
To reduce deposits, soften hard water when possible. Installation of certain filters can remove corrosive and distasteful elements. Salts in a properly maintained water softener can also be to your advantage. Contact a treatment specialist if you are not sure of the proper water treatment.
Regularly Restore & Passivate Stainless Steel
Stainless steel gets its stainless properties from the protective chromium oxides on its surface. If these oxides are removed by scouring, or by reaction with harmful chemicals, then the iron in the steel is exposed and can begin to oxidize, or rust. Passivation is a chemical process that removes free iron and other contaminants from the surface of stainless steel, allowing the protective chromium oxides to re-form.
NOTE: Any cabinet adjustments are to be made AFTER the cabinet has been verified level and properly supported.
Servicing & Replacing Components
If the doors need to be aligned, adjust the hinges on the cabinet and door as described below. After adjusting the hinges, be sure to adjust the lock latch as needed.
Required Tool
Before you begin
Adjust the Cabinet Hinge
Adjust the Door Hinge
Adjust the Lock Latch
