III. INSTALLATION (continued)
III. f - CLEARANCE:
In order to assure optimum performance, your
Traulsen unit MUST have an adequate supply of air to
function properly. Therefore, the operating location
must either have a minimum of 12” clearance over-
head of the unit or allow for unrestricted air flow at
the back of the unit. Clearance of at least 12” above
is required in order to perform certain maintenance
tasks.
IV. CARE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER
SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE
UNIT.
IV. a - 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 chlo-
rine, 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).
IV. b - CLEANING THE INTERIOR:
For cleaning both stainless steel and anodized alumi-
num interiors, the use of baking soda as described in
section “IV. d” is recommended. Use on breaker strips
as well as door gaskets. All interior fittings are re-
movable without tools to facilitate cleaning.
IV. c - 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
portion 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 re-
move the cabinet portion of the hinge, remove the
three Phillips head screws which hold it in place. On
solid door units, the top hinge(s) contains a
microswitch for controlling the interior lighting.
To reassemble the hinge reverse the previous proce-
dure.
IV. CARE & MAINTENANCE (cont’d)
IV. d - 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 it-
self must be at room temperature. Insert the four cor-
ners 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 com-
pletely seated in place (see figure 2 for proper gasket
placement).
NOTE: The gasket may appear too large, but if it is
installed as indicated above it will slip into place.
