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.
On most of the reach-in units the condenser is accessible in the rear of the unit. You must remove the cabinet grill
to expose the Condenser.
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.
If you have any questions, please call TRUE Manufacturing at 636-240-2400 or 800-325-6152 and ask for the
Service Department. Service Department Availability Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m.

ONE YEAR PARTS & LABOR WARRANTY
TRUE warrants to the original purchaser of every new TRUE refrigerated unit, the cabinet and all parts thereof, to be free from defects in material or workmanship,
under normal and proper use and maintenance service as specified by TRUE and upon proper installation and start-up in accordance with the instruction packet supplied

from TRUE, whichever occurs first.
Any part covered under this warranty that are determined by TRUE to have been defective within one (1) year of original installation or fifteen (15) months after
shipment date from manufacturer, whichever occurs first, is limited to the repair or replacement, including labor charges, of defective parts or assemblies. The labor
warranty shall include standard straight time labor charges only and reasonable travel time, as determined by TRUE.
ADDITIONAL FOUR YEAR COMPRESSOR WARRANTY
In addition to the one (1) year warranty stated above, TRUE warrants its hermetically and semi-hermetically sealed compressor to be free from defects in both
material and workmanship under normal and proper use and maintenance service for a period of four (4) additional years from the date of original installation but not to
exceed five (5) years and three (3) months after shipment from the manufacturer.
Compressors determined by TRUE to have been defective within this extended time period will, at TRUE’s option, be either repaired or replaced with a compressor
or compressor parts of similar design and capacity.
The four (4) year extended compressor warranty applies only to hermetically and semi-hermetically sealed parts of the compressor and does not apply to any other
parts or components, including, but not limited to, cabinet, paint finish, temperature control, refrigerant, metering device, driers, motor starting equipment, fan assembly
or any other electrical component, etcetera.
404A/134A COMPRESSOR WARRANTY
The four year compressor warranty detailed above will be voided if the following procedure is not carefully adhered to:
1. This system contains R404A or R134A refrigerant and polyol ester lubricant. The polyol ester lubricant has rapid moisture absorbing qualities. If long exposure to
the ambient conditions occur, the lubricant must be removed and replaced with new. For oil amounts and specifications please call TRUE technical service department
(800-325-6152). Failure to comply with recommended lubricant specification will void the compressor warranty.
2. Drier replacement is very important and must be changed when a system is opened for servicing. A drier using XH-7 desiccant or an exact replacement solid core
drier must be used. The new drier must also be the same capacity as the drier being replaced.
3. Micron level vacuums must be achieved to insure low moisture levels in the system. 500 microns or lower must be obtained.
WARRANTY CLAIMS
All claims for labor or parts must be made directly through TRUE. All claims should include: model number of the unit, the serial number of the cabinet, proof of
purchase, date of installation, and all pertinent information supporting the existence of the alleged defect.

Any action or breach of these warranty provisions must be commenced within one (1) year after that cause of action has occurred.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY
TRUE’s sole obligation under this warranty is limited to either repair or replacement of parts, subject to the additional limitations below. This warranty neither
assumes nor authorizes any person to assume obligations other than those expressly covered by this warranty.
NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. TRUE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ECONOMIC LOSS; PROFIT LOSS; OR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM FOOD OR PRODUCT SPOILAGE CLAIMS WHETHER OR NOT ON ACCOUNT
