Traulsen RET132EUT Manuale Utente

-3-

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.

Roll-In cabinets set on the floor require the floor area to be 

flat and level. In addition, after the cabinet is set in place, 

sealant should be used around the perimeter of the base to 

comply  with  National  Sanitation  Foundation  requirements 

(see figure 4). After sealing the unit, the enclosed ramp should 

then be installed.

A stainless steel threshold ramp(s) is included to facilitate 

rolling in racks. It is shipped wrapped in brown paper and 

secured to the rack guides inside the cabinet. To secure it 

in place, remove the two thumb screws in the breaker strip 

near the bottom door opening. Next, loosen the thumb screws 

located along the floor at the threshold.

III. INSTALLATION (continued)

Place the ramp(s) on top of the loosened thumb screws and 

secure tabs on each end to breaker strips with thumb screws 

previously removed. After installing the ramp(s), it too should 

be sealed to the floor.

Bumper strips are secured to the back of Roll-In models with 

thumb screws. Loosen these and make them finger tight to 

conform  with  the  requirements  of  the  National  Sanitation 

Foundation (NSF).

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.
