III. e - CORD & PLUG:
Traulsen Air Curtain models are supplied with a cord
& plug attached. It is shipped coiled at the bottom of
the cabinet, secured by a nylon strip. For your safety
and protection, all units supplied with a cord and plug
include a special three-prong grounding plug on the
service cord. Select only a dedicated electrical outlet
with grounding plug for power source.
NOTE: Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove
the round grounding prong from the plug, or use an
extension cord.
III. f-
POWER SUPPLY:
The supply voltage should be checked prior to con-
nection to be certain that proper voltage for the cabi-
net wiring is available (refer to the serial tag to deter-
mine correct unit voltage). Make connections in ac-
cordance with local electrical codes. Use qualified
electricians.
Use of a separate, dedicated 20 amp circuit is required.
Size wiring to handle indicated load and provide nec-
essary overcurrent protector in circuit (see amperage
requirements on the unit’s serial tag).
IV. INTENDED USE
IV. a - OVERVIEW:
The Air Curtain Refrigerator is more than just a refrig-
erator. When the door of the unit is closed, it operates
as a force air refrigerator with a highly efficient refrig-
eration system that provides faster “pull down” and
“recovery” times. When the door is opened, a series
of blower fans create a “wall” of air and areas of pres-
sure, localizing a pattern of air movement across the
cabinet opening. This AIR CURTAIN seals itself around
objects so that, in effect, the door is both “open” and
“closed” at the same time.
For best results, the air curtain was designed for “low
profile” food products typical of tray line/assembly line
and flight kitchen operations.
IV. b - TYPICAL OPERATING PARAMETERS:
The “curtain” is capable of maintaining 45°F tempera-
ture or below for approximately 45 minutes. HOW-
EVER, actual time your unit will run in this tempera-
ture zone depends on many factors, such as, room
ambient temperature and humidity levels, the amount
of time your unit was allowed to precondition the
food(s), food temperatures when placed in the unit,
type of food packaging, and profile of foods. It should
also be noted that there is a lag time between the “am-
bient air” temperature in the cabinet and that of the
actual product temperature. The food temperature
differential can be 10 - 20 degrees F cooler than the
temperature indicated by the temperature display.

II. RECEIPT INSPECTION
All Traulsen products are factory tested for perfor-
mance and are free from defects when shipped. The
utmost care has been taken in crating this product to
protect against damage in transit. All interior fittings
have been carefully secured to prevent damage.
You should carefully inspect your Traulsen 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 this. A freight
claim should be filed immediately. If damage is sub-
sequently noted during or immediately after installa-
tion, contact the respective carrier and file a freight
claim. Under no condition may a damaged unit be re-
turned to Traulsen & Co. without first obtaining writ-
ten permission (return authorization).
III. INSTALLATION
III. a - LOCATION:
Select a proper location for your Traulsen unit, away
from extreme heat or cold. Allow enough clearance
between the unit and the side wall so that the door (s)
may open a minimum of 90°.
III. b - PACKAGING:
Traulsen Air Curtain units are shipped from the fac-
tory strapped to a sturdy wooden pallet and packaged
in a durable cardboard container. The carton is at-
tached to the wooden skid with the use of large staples.
These should first be removed to avoid scratching the
unit when lifting off the crate.
To remove the wooden pallet, first if at all possible, we
suggest that the cabinet remain strapped to the pallet
during all transportation to the point of final installa-
tion. The straps can then be removed with a wire cut-
ter and the unit rolled off the skid. Avoid laying the
unit on its front, side or back for removal of the pallet.
NOTE: Traulsen does not recommend laying the unit
down on its front, side or back. However, if you must
please be certain to allow the unit to remain in an up-
right position afterwards for 24 hours before plugging
it in so that the compressor oils and refrigerant may
settle.
III. c - CLEARANCE:
It is important for the proper operation and longevity
of your Traulsen unit that it have adequate provisions
for air supply to the compressor. Allow approximately
6-12” between the back grill of the unit and the wall
for proper air flow.
III. d - WIRING DIAGRAM:
Refer to the wiring diagram for any service work per-
formed on the unit. Should you require one, please
contact Traulsen Service at (800) 825-8220, and pro-
vide the model and serial number of the unit involved.
