V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT
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. 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 8).
Once the screws are removed, the panel can be pivoted
upwards allowing full access to the front facing condenser
(see figure 9).
Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from the finned
condenser coil, the compressor and other cooling system
parts (see figure 10). If significant dirt is clogging the
condenser fins, use compressed air to blow this clear.
Lower louver assembly and replace the screws to hold it in
place.
V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER (cont’d)
Some Traulsen models come with a StayClearâ„¢ Condenser
Coil with a finless design. The StayClear Condenser does not
require regularly scheduled cleanings but should be cleaned
every 6 months or when the finless condenser coil presents
a certain level of obstruction of significant dirt on the tubing.
If StayClear Condenser requires cleaning, follow the same
steps for cleaning the finned condenser.
V. b - GASKET REPLACEMENT
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 11 for proper gasket placement).
NOTE: The gasket may appear too large, but if it is installed
as indicated above it will slip into place.
V. c - CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Exterior stainless steel should be cleaned with warm water,
mild soap and a soft cloth. Apply with a dampened cloth and
wipe in the direction 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, 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).
