PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE
REFRIGERATOR
DANGER!
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD! TRUE will not warranty any refrigerator that has been
connected to an extension cord.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous… even if they will sit for “just a few
days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help pre-
vent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator
or Freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Refrigerant Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that uses “Ozone Depleting ” chemicals. If you are
throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the
refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified service technician. If you intentionally
release any refrigerants you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of the
environmental regulations.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to mini-
mize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a quali-
fied electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with the properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into it’s
own individual electrical circuit, which has a volt-
age rating that matches the rating plate. This
provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading building wiring circuits which could
cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When removing the refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power
cord.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
WARNING!
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
NEVER USE AN ADAPTER PLUG! Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

DEFROST TIME CLOCK OPERATION
(Grasslin Timer)
NOTE:
Defrost timer will need to be
set at current time of day
before plugging unit into
power supply. The defrost
times have been set from the
factory. If you want to change
defrost times please read
through the defrost timer
instructions.
RECOMMENDED DEFROST
SETTINGS:
True Manufacturing has factory set your
defrost time clock to a recommended
time and duration defrost scenario. All
TSID and TDBD will require routine
defrost. Your True equipment has been
designed for three defrost periods (6:00
a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.). If you
decide to deviate from these defrost
time settings please follow the proce-
dures for adjustment below.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
• Phillips Screwdriver
• 1/4” Nut Driver or Socket
Locating The Defrost Timer:
Take off louvered grill assembly by
removing four (4) corner screws.
TSID and TDBD Models:
Defrost timer is located in the lower
right corner behind the louvered grill
(inside galvanized electrical box).
Setting the timer:
(UNPLUG UNIT FROM
POWER SUPPLY!)
DO NOT SET THE TIME BY ROTAT-
ING THE “OUTER” DIAL.
Turn the minute hand clockwise until
the time of day on the outer dial is
aligned with the triangle marker on the
inner dial (two o’clock position).
Adjusting The Defrost Timer:
(time initiated, time terminated)
Your True equipment contains a defrost
system that is time initiated and time
terminated. While True requires a mini-
mum 3 defrost periods not to exceed 60
minutes the procedure on this page
should be followed to customize your
specific needs.
Notice:
If timer is not set for a minimum of 3
defrost per day for 60 minutes each,
the coil may develop excessive frost.
This may lead to system failure and
product loss, which is not covered
under warranty.
The following procedure may be fol-
lowed to customize your needs.
High usage, high temperature, and
high humidity may require 4 defrost
settings per day.
WARNING:
Always follow the manufacturer’s
recommended settings when
programming the amount and duration
of the defrost cycles.
STEP 1
The white tabs located on the outmost
area of the time clock have been facto-
ry set for (6:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and
10:00 p.m.). Each tab represents 15
minutes of defrost time. Notice that at
each defrost time four white tabs are
set for 15 minutes each for a total of 60
minutes of defrost.
STEP 2
In order to program the time to begin
the defrost cycle, flip the white tabs out
to set the defrost time. To eliminate a
defrost time flip the white tabs back
toward the center of the Defrost Timer.

Step 4
A. Before your new unit is connected to a power
supply, check the incoming voltage with a volt-
meter. If anything less than 100% of the rated volt-
age for operation is noted, correct immediately.
B. All units are equipped with a 9 ft. (3m) service
cord, and must be powered at proper operating
voltage at all times. Refer to cabinet data plate for
this voltage.
True requires that a sole use circuit be dedicated
for the unit. Failure to do so voids warranty.
WARNING
Compressor warranties are void if compressor burns
out due to low voltage.
WARNING
Power supply cord ground should not be removed!
NOTE
To reference wiring diagram - Remove front louvered
grill, wiring diagram is positioned on the inside cabinet
wall.
ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
Step 5
A. The compressor is ready to operate. Plug in the
cooler.
B. Temperature control set at No. 3 position gives
refrigerators an approximate temperature of 38°F.
Allow unit to function several hours, completely
cooling cabinet before changing the control setting.
C. Excessive tampering with the control could lead
to service difficulties. Should it ever become neces-
sary to replace temperature control, be sure it is
ordered from your True dealer or recommended
service agent.
D. Good air flow in your True unit is critical. Be
careful to load product so that it neither presses
against the back wall, nor comes within four inches
of the evaporator housing. Refrigerated air off the
coil must circulate down the back wall.
NOTE
If the unit is disconnected or shut off, wait five
minutes before starting again.
RECOMMENDATION
Before loading product we recommend you run
your True unit empty for two to three days. This
allows you to be sure electrical wiring and instal-
lation are correct and no shipping damage has
occurred. Remember, our factory warranty does
not cover product loss!
REPLACEMENT PARTS
TRUE maintains a record of the cabinet serial
number for your cooler. If at any time during the
life of your cooler, a part is needed, you may
obtain this part by furnishing the model number
and serial number to the company from whom
you purchased the cooler. Call Toll-Free: (800)-
424-TRUE (Direct to Parts Department). (800)-
325-6152 (U.S.A. & Canada only) or call: (636)-
240-2400.
STARTUP
DOUBLE-DUTY DELI’S
TDBD’s are equipped with a service receptacle (found
on the upper left cabinet backside), no electrical load
greater that 4.0 amps should be connected to it. If
the electrical load is greater that 4.0 amps, it should
be wired separately or a larger lead cord should be
wired in place of the provided lead cord. Use a cord
with a 20 amp male plug (NEMA-5-20P). These units
have a light switch for the interior lighting
next to the receptacle.

Condensers accumulate dirt and require cleaning every 30 days. Dirty condensers result in
compressor failure, product loss, and lost sales... which are not covered by warranty.
If you keep the Condenser clean you will minimize your service expense and lower your electrical
costs. The Condenser requires scheduled cleaning every thirty days or as needed.
Air is pulled through the Condenser continuously, along with dust, lint, grease, etc.
A dirty Condenser can result in NON-WARRANTEED part & Compressor Failures, Product Loss, and
Lost Sales.
Proper cleaning involves removing dust from the Condenser. By using a soft brush, or vacuuming
the Condenser with a shop vac, or using CO2, nitrogen, or pressurized air.
If you cannot remove the dirt adequately, please call your refrigeration service company.
The Condenser looks like a group of vertical fins. You need to be able to see through the condenser
for the unit to function at maximum capacity. Do not place filter material in front of condensing coil.
This material blocks air-flow to the coil similar to having a dirty coil
THE CLEANING OF THE CONDENSER IS NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY!
HOW TO CLEAN THE CONDENSER:
1. Disconnect the electrical power to the unit.
2. Remove the louvered grill.
3. Vacuum or brush the dirt, lint, or debris from the finned condenser coil.
4. If you have a significant dirt build up you can blow out the condenser with compressed air.
(CAUTION MUST BE USED to avoid eye injury. Eye protection is recommended.)
5. When finished be sure to replace the louvered grill. The grill protects the condenser.
6. Reconnect the electrical power to the unit.

MAINTENANCE, CARE & CLEANING
CAUTION: Do not use any steel wool, abrasive or chlorine based products to clean stainless
steel surfaces.
Stainless Steel Opponents
There are three basic things which can break down your stainless steel’s passivity layer and allow
corrosion to rear its ugly head.
1) Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, and steel pads are just a few examples of items that can be
abrasive to stainless steel’s surface.
2) Deposits left on your stainless steel can leave spots. You may have hard or soft water depending on
what part of the country you live in. Hard water can leave spots. Hard water that is heated can
leave deposits if left to sit too long. These deposits can cause the passive layer to break down and
rust your stainless steel. All deposits left from food prep or service should be removed as soon as
possible.
3) Chlorides are present in table salt, food, and water. Household and industrial cleaners are the worst
type of chlorides to use.
8 steps that can help prevent rust on stainless steel:
1. Using the correct cleaning tools
Use non-abrasive tools when cleaning your stainless steel products. The stainless steel’s passive layer
will not be harmed by soft cloths and plastic scouring pads. Step 2 tells you how to find the
polishing marks.
2. Cleaning along the polish lines
Polishing lines or “grain” are visible on some stainless steels. Always scrub parallel to visible lines on
some stainless steels. Use a plastic scouring pad or soft cloth when you cannot see the grain.
3. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners
While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an ever
increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you are not sure of your cleaner’s chloride content
contact your cleaner supplier. If they tell you that your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask if
they have an alternative. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salts as they can attack stainless steel,
causing pitting and rusting.
4. Water Treatment
To reduce deposits, soften the hard water when possible. Installation of certain filters can remove
corrosive and distasteful elements. Salts in a properly maintained water softener can be to your
advantage. Contact a treatment specialist if you are not sure of the proper water treatment.
5. Maintaining the cleanliness of your food equipment
Use cleaners at recommended strength (alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride). Avoid
build-up of hard stains by cleaning frequently. When boiling water with your stainless steel
equipment, the single most likely cause of damage is chlorides in the water. Heating any cleaners
containing chlorides will have the same damaging effects.
6. Rinse
When using chlorinated cleaners you must rinse and wipe dry immediately. It is better to wipe
standing cleaning agents and water as soon as possible. Allow the stainless steel equipment to air
dry. Oxygen helps maintain the passivity film on stainless steel.
7. Hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) should never be used on stainless steel
8. Regularly restore/passivate stainless steel

C) Cameo,Talc, Zud First Impression is applied by rubbing in the direction of the polished lines for
stubborn stains and discoloring.
D) Easy-off and De-Grease It oven aid are excellent for removals on all finishes for grease-fatty acids,
blood and burnt-on foods.
E) Any good commercial detergent can be applied with a sponge or cloth to remove grease and oil.
F) Benefit, Super Sheen, Sheila Shine are good for restoration / passivation.
NOTE:
The use of stainless steel cleaners or other such solvents is not
recommended on plastic parts. Warm soap and water will suffice.
