IV. INTENDED USE (continued) V. PRODUCT FEATURES (contd)
V. f - TRAY SLIDES:
Ten (10) pairs of removable tray slides are provided
standard at 4-1/2 spacing. Additional tray slides may
also be purchased for a total of no more than 15 pairs
at 3 spacing. Each tray slide can accommodate ei-
ther one (1) 18x 26 or one (1) 12 x 20 pan. The
tray slides allow for individual pans to be pulled out
3/4 of their length without tipping. In addition, the side
wall air ducts are designed with two (2) tabs, which
act as a backstop, providing better air flow, which is
important to maintaining proper temperatures through-
out the cabinet.
V. g - WRAP-AROUND PERIMETER BUMPERS:
As the Air-Curtain refrigerator was designed to be mo-
bile, a full perimeter rubber bumper guard is included
to protect walls and doors during movement.
VI. ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER
VI. a - CONTROL OVERVIEW:
The Traulsen Air Curtain models are supplied standard
with an easy to use microprocessor control. It fea-
tures several important user functions, greatly enhanc-
ing the overall utility of the cabinet.
VI. b - CONTROL FEATURE - TEMP RECALL:
This feature allows the operator to display either the
actual internal cabinet air temperature (default), or the
desired Set-Point temperature (alternate).
ACTUAL: The factory default setting shows the actual
internal cabinet temperature and acts as a digital ther-
mometer. A momentary touch of the TEMP RECALL
button will recall the original dial setting. The display
will then automatically return the displaying the ac-
tual internal cabinet temperature.
SET-POINT: To display the set-point temperature in-
stead of the actual internal cabinet temperature, press
and hold the TEMP RECALL button for five (5) sec-
onds. The fourth digit on the display will flash either
S (SET) or A (ACTUAL) to indicate which mode is
active. To switch back again, repeat this step holding
the TEMP RECALL button for five (5) seconds.
VI. c - CONTROL FEATURE - ON/OFF:
This button has two uses, the first is to turn the unit
ON and OFF. The second allows for the temperature
display to be changed to indicate either degrees Fahr-
enheit or degrees Celsius.
To change between temperature scales, press and hold
the ON/OFF button for five (5) seconds. The display
will then switch from dgF to dgC. Repeat this
step to change the temperature scale again.

SUGGESTED PAN SIZING:
Traulsen has designed this unit to operate with either
18 x 26 or 12 x 20 pans. Generally, 12 x 20
pans block air flow which leads to reduced unit per-
formance. While we strongly recommend the use of
18 x 26 rather than 12 x 20 pans, the latter may
still be used. However, when using 12 x 20 pans
these should be placed towards the top and bottom of
the unit to reduce the total blockage of air flow.

PRODUCT UNLOADING:
When unloading product from the Air Curtain
refrogerator, we recommend that this be done from
the top down.
V. PRODUCT FEATURES
V. a - CASTERS:
6 high casters are supplied standard for Air-Curtain
models. They are attached to 10-gauge stainless steel
corner plate reinforcements/stress pads. These are
shipped already installed on the unit for immediate use.
V. b - GRIPS & HANDLES:
For easy mobility, stainless steel recessed hand grips
are provided on the left and right sides. In addition, a
1 welded tubular push/pull handle is attached to the
rear of the cabinet.
V. c - ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER:
All Traulsen Air Curtain units manufactured after Janu-
ary 2003 include a 2-Stage electronic controller. Units
manufactured prior to that date were provided with
manual electromechanical controls
V. d - ON DEMAND DEFROST:
Traulsen Air-Curtain models are supplied with a mo-
mentary defrost cycle. It is located on the front con-
trol (see page 4), and by depressing the switch, the
unit will momentarily disable the compressor, the coil
and the fans. This On-Demand Defrost feature al-
lows proper defrosting of the accumulated condensa-
tion. Condensate is removed through use of an elec-
tric condensate evaporator drain pan.
V. e - CONDENSATE EVAPORATOR:
During the On-Demand Defrost cycle or the Off
Cycle of the compressor, the evaporator coil will de-
frost. The condensate from the evaporator coil flows
from the top of the unit down a drain in the back to a
condensate pan. Vapor escapes through the back grill.
The vapor can sometimes be visible and should be
considered a normal operating condition.
Proper attention should be given to defrosting your
unit. Every event or time the unit is used with the
door open, the coil will build-up ice. This reduces the
effectiveness of the overall operation of the unit.
