Reach-In models are supplied with fourteen (14) pairs of #1 

type tray slides on 4” centers. These are shipped installed 

from the factory, and are easily removable for cleaning 

without tools. 

Most self-contained models are supplied with a cord & plug 

attached. It is shipped coiled at the top of the cabinet,secured 

by a nylon strip. For your safety and protection,all units 

supplied with a cord and plug include aspecial three-prong 

grounding plug on the service cord. Select only a dedicated 

electrical outlet with grounding plug for power source. 

The supply voltage should be checked prior to connection to 

be certain that proper voltage for the cabinet wiring is avail-

able (refer to the serial tag to determine correct unit voltage). 

Make connections in accordance with local electrical codes. 

Use qualified electricians. Use of a separate, dedicated circuit 

is required. Size wiring to handle indicated load and provide 

necessary overcurrent protector in circuit (see amperage 

requirements on the unit’s serial tag).

Refer to the wiring diagram for any service work performed 

on the unit. Should you require one, please contact Traulsen 

Service at (800) 825-8220, and provide the model and serial 

number of the unit involved.

In order to assure optimum performance, the condensing 

unit of your Traulsen unit MUST have an adequate supply 

of air for cooling purposes. Therefore, the operating location 

must either have a minimum of 12” clearance overhead of 

the condensing 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.

III. INSTALLATION (continued)

The “Even-Thaw” refrigerator was specially designed to thaw 

frozen food product under safe, temperature controlled condi-

tions. It is not intended as a storage refrigerator.

The Traulsen Even-Thaw refrigerator is designed to thaw a 

full load of frozen food product (see BATCH LOADING for 

guidelines) in approximately 18 to 24 hours. However, be 

aware that actual thawing times will vary depending upon a 

number of variables, such as product type, product packag-

ing, density, spacing, etc. Please note that some other load-

ing variables, such as product location, are not important to 

thawing and do not effect thaw cycle duration.

The Traulsen Even-Thaw cabinet is a refrigerator, with two 

important additional features: 1) the ability to introduce small 

amounts of heat into the cabinet, and 2) increased air flow, 

indicated by the presence of blowers mounted behind the 

mullion.

The Even-Thaw refrigerator operates continually, the intro-

duction of frozen product lowers the cabinet temperature 

below the heater setpoint temperature (37°F). This prompts 

the refrigeration system to turn OFF, and the heaters to turn 

ON. Anytime the cabinet air temperature is below the heater 

setpoint temperature, additional heat is added. Heater op-

eration is controlled proportionally, i.e. the colder the cabinet 

temperature, the longer the heaters remain in operation. 

When the cabinet air temperature reaches above the heater 

setpoint temperature, the heaters turn OFF. 

When the cabinet air temperature reaches the upper refrig-

erator setpoint temperature (40°F), the refrigeration cycle is 

initiated. As long as product does not lower the cabinet tem-

perature below the lower refrigeration setpoint temperature 

(37°F), the cabinet will continue to cycle between 38°F and 

40°F. Upon completion of a thaw cycle, the thawed product 

should then be removed from the Even-Thaw cabinet and 

placed in a dedicated storage refrigerator.
