careful closing doors when children are in the
area.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.
Setting temperature controls to the 0 position
does not remove power to the light circuit,

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
prevent 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
minimizethe possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properlygrounded.
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
voltage 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.

Step 5
A. The compressor is ready to operate. Plug in the
cooler.
B. Temperature control set at No. 4 position gives
refrigerators an approximate temperature of 35°F
and glass chiller frosters have an approximate
temperature of 0°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
necessary 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.
LIGHT SWITCH LOCATION:
The switch is located on the front of the
evaporator housing toward the front of the
cabinet. Open the front doors and the switch will
be visible close to the ceiling the cabinet.
NOTE
If the unit is disconnected or shut off, wait five
minutes before starting again.

Draft beer should be treated as a food product. In
most instances draft beer is not pasteurized. It is
very important that you store and handle it properly.
Follow these steps to ensure the highest quality and
consumer satisfaction.
• Draft beer should be immediately stored in a
refrigerated cabinet.
• Draft beer products have a recommended shelf
life. If you have questions regarding the shelf life of
any of your draught products, please consult with
your supplying depot or respective Brewer
representative.
• Kegs should be stored separately from food
products. If your cooler is used to refrigerate
draught and food products, it is very important that
the food not be stored near or on the kegs.
• Keg storage and dispensing areas should be kept
clean to prevent any possibility of contaminating
your draught products.

Dispensing pressures differ according to:
• The type of draft dispensing system
• The length of draft dispensing line
• The actual product - some require
more, some require less
• The temperature of the product
• The pressurizing agent: air pressure,
CO2 or special blended gases.
PRESSURE
• Correct temperature is a key factor to
consider in storing and dispensing draft
beer. Too cool or too warm may cause
flavor loss, off taste and dispensing
problems.
Helpful Hints on Controlling Temperature
• Keep a thermometer handy
• Monitor temperature of draft in your
cooler and at the tap
• Keep cooler door closed as much as
possible to avoid temperature
fluctuation
• Regular maintenance of refrigeration
equipment is recommended
TEMPERATURE
Helpful Hints On Maintaining The
Correct Pressure:
• Know which pressurizing agent to
use on which product and why.
• Monitor your regulators to ensure
applied pressure remains constant
• Keep equipment in good repair
Do not agitate the kegs unnecessarily. If
excessive agitation occurs allow kegs to
settle for 1 to 2 hours before tapping.
Prior to tapping the keg, ensure that all
beer faucet in the serving location are in
the off position. Completely remove the
dust cover (identification cap) from the
keg.

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 5:30p.m.

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
