Traulsen RMC58 User Manual

All Traulsen products are factory tested for performance 
and are free from defects when shipped.  The utmost care 
has been taken in crating this product to protect against 
damage in transit.  

You should carefully inspect your unit for damage during 
delivery.  If damage is detected, you should save all the 
crating materials and make note on the carrier’s Bill Of 
Lading describing the damage.  A freight claim should be 
filed immediately.  If damage is subsequently noted dur-
ing or immediately after installation, contact our customer 
care team to file a freight claim.  There is a fifteen (15) 
day limit to file freight damage with the carrier.  Under no 
condition may a damaged unit be returned to Traulsen 
without first obtaining written permission (return autho-
rization).    You  may  contact  Hobart/Traulsen  customer 
care at 800-333-7447 to request a return or file a claim.

III. a - LOCATION:

Select a proper location for your unit, away from extreme 
heat or cold.  

III. b - PACKAGING:

Your Traulsen unit is shipped from the factory bolted to a 
sturdy wooden pallet in stretch wrapped material.

Most exterior stainless steel surfaces have a protective  
vinyl covering to prevent scratching during manufactur-
ing, shipping and installation.  After the unit is installed 
in place of application  peel, remove and discard the 
covering from all surfaces.

To remove the wooden pallet, first if at all possible, we 
suggest that the cabinet remain bolted to the pallet dur-
ing all transportation to the point of final installation.  The 
bolts can then be removed with a 1/2” socket wrench.  
Avoid laying the unit on its back for removal of the pallet.

III. c - INSTALLING/ADJUSTING  LEGS  OR 
CASTERS:

Casters are installed at the factory but will require adjust-
ment upon installation.

To adjust the legs or casters, loosen the two bolts and 
move leg or caster to desired location, spacing between 
leg or caster not to exceed 48 inches.  Leg or caster on 
each end of the unit can not exceed 8 inches from the 
end of the cabinet. 

III. c - INSTALLING/ADJUSTING LEGS OR CASTERS:

III. d - CORD & PLUG:

All self-contained models are shipped standard with a NEMA 
5-15P plug and 9 foot cord .  Select only a dedicated electrical 
outlet for power source.

III. e - POWER SUPPLY:

The supply voltage should be checked prior to connection to 
be certain that proper voltage for the cabinet wiring is available 
(refer to the serial tag to determine correct unit voltage, see page 
1).  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 over current protec-
tor in circuit (see amperage requirements on the unit’s serial tag).

IV. a - TEMPERATURE CONTROL:

The temperature is set at the factory but local conditions may 
necessitate slight adjustment.

The temperature control is located behind the silver plug on the 
front side of the system area (dial thermometer side).  To adjust, 
remove the plug turn the adjustment screw with a pair of pliers 
a small amount at a time; turning clockwise lowers the tempera-
ture.  An “OFF” position is fully counterclockwise and interrupts 
power to the compressor and condenser fan only, not the entire 
refrigerator.
