V. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER:
The most important thing you can do to insure a long,
reliable service life for your Traulsen is to regularly clean
the condenser coil.
The condensing unit requires regularly scheduled clean-
ing to keep the finned condenser clean of lint and dust
accummulation. Keeping the condenser clean allows
the cabinet to operate more efficiently and use less en-
ergy.
To clean the condenser, first disconnect electrical power
to the cabinet and lift up the front louver assembly. To
lift this, remove the two screws located on both sides at
the bottom of the louver assembly (see figure 3). Once
the screws are removed, the panel can be pivoted up-
wards allowing full access to the front facing condenser
(see figure 4). Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust
from the finned condenser coil, the compressor and
other cooling system parts. If significant dirt is clog-
ging the condenser fins, use compressed air to blow
this clear.
Lower louver assembly and replace the screws to hold
it in place.

HINGE REPLACEMENT:
Both the door and hinge can be easily removed from the
cabinet. To remove the door, remove the plug at the
bottom of the top hinge. Inside the hinge there is a small
screw which secures the door in place. Remove this
with a flat head screwdriver and the door can then be
lifted off the hinge. To remove the door portion of the
hinge from the door, lift off the hinge cover and then
remove the three Phillips head screwswhich secure the
hinge in place on the door. To remove the cabinet por-
tion of the hinge, remove the three Phillips head screws
which hold it in place. On solid door units, the top
hinge(s) contains a microswitch for controlling the
interior lighting.
To reassemble the hinge reverse the previous procedure.

OPERATOR CONTROLS, BLOWER SWITCH:
As delivered from the factory, all RET models are preset
to operate as described in section IV B. However, if
needed the unit can also be set to operate as a high ca-
pacity refrigerator.
To accomplish this a Blower Switch is located behind the
cabinet louvers towards the center. It is labeled ON/OFF.
As delivered, this is in the ON position, allowingthe unit
to operate in the even-thaw mode. When in the OFF posi-
tion, this disables two internal mullion blowers, allowing
the unit to operate as a high capacity refrigerator.
Return the Blower Switch to the ON position prior to at-
tempting another even-thaw batch. Failure to do so will
result in increased thaw times.
IV. i - CALL SERVICE LIGHT:
This red light is located above the front panel thermom-
eter. If illuminated, it may indicate a failure or problem with
one of the temperature sensing probes inside the Even-
Thaw unit. If one of the temperature sensing probes fail,
the unit will default to a preset refrigeration cycle in an at-
tempt to maintain safe product temperatures. The refrig-
eration system and fans will continue to function.
If the light is illuminated, the unit WILL NOT function in the
thaw mode until the faulty component is repaired. If illumi-
nated, contact your authorized service agent.
