G22010

Overview

The Traulsen G22010 is a two-section, self-contained commercial reach-in freezer with two full-height solid doors. Its 46.02-cu.-ft. interior provides storage across six epoxy-coated shelves, with three shelves in each section. The top-mounted refrigeration system places the evaporator outside the food zone, and the LED display shows the temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

The freezer’s listed holding range is -5°F to 0°F. It can be programmed to operate at -10°F when the ambient air is below 90°F. The cabinet uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant.

Key Features

• Two-section storage: Six epoxy-coated shelves are included, with three factory-installed shelves per section. The coating resists corrosion.
• Airflow spacing: Load-Sure guards maintain 2 inches between stored product and cabinet walls to support air circulation.
• Cabinet construction: The interior and sides are anodized aluminum. The front and doors are stainless steel; the interior is described as corrosion resistant, and the exterior as resistant to rusting, denting and scratching.
• Door access: The two full-height doors stay open at 120 degrees for loading and cleaning. Door gaskets seal against the frames and are described as easy to clean.
• Interior visibility: LED lighting illuminates the cabinet.
• Insulation: Two-inch-thick polyurethane insulation helps retain cold air.
• Service access: The one-piece louver assembly is removable for access to components, and the front-facing condensing coil is accessible for maintenance.
• Mobility: The freezer has 6-inch locking casters. The product information notes that casters ship uninstalled and must be installed by the end user.
• Listings stated for this model: cETLus and ETL-Sanitation.

Installation & Requirements

The product listing specifies 12 inches of clearance above the freezer. The Traulsen G-Series operation manual also states that the condensing unit needs an adequate supply of air: the operating location must provide at least 12 inches of overhead clearance or unrestricted airflow at the back. It notes that 12 inches above the unit is required for certain maintenance tasks. Keep these requirements in mind when positioning the cabinet and follow the unit’s product documentation.

The G22010 is listed at 115 V, 60 Hz, single phase, with a 9-ft. cord and NEMA 5-15P plug. The supplied G-Series manual says to check the serial tag for the cabinet’s correct voltage, use a grounded outlet, and make connections in accordance with local electrical codes using a qualified electrician. Confirm the electrical requirements against the serial tag on the actual unit before connection.

The manual locates the serial tag in the upper-right interior compartment on G-Series reach-in refrigerators and freezers. It records the model and serial numbers as well as electrical and refrigeration data. The manual says to provide the model and serial number when contacting Traulsen Service about wiring information.

Operation

The freezer’s microprocessor control regulates operation, and its three-digit LED display can show temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The product listing describes a holding range of -5°F to 0°F and programmable operation at -10°F when ambient air is below 90°F. The refrigeration system is top mounted, with its evaporator outside the food zone.

The supplied G220XX G-Series operation manual describes automatic freezer defrost. It says the controller is factory set for six equally spaced defrost cycles in each 24-hour period. At the start of a freezer defrost, the compressor and evaporator fans stop, the display reads “dEF,” and the electric heater attached to the coil energizes. For models with electric defrost, the heater turns off and compressor operation resumes when the coil sensor reaches 70°F. Evaporator fan operation is delayed until the coil sensor reaches 32°F or a time delay is reached. The manual says freezer defrost heat is confined to the coil enclosure to limit temperature rise in the food zone.

The G-Series manual says refrigerators and freezers do not require routine manual defrosting. It also describes a “Start Manual Defrost” control parameter. The manual’s stated settings and procedures apply to the controller covered by that G220XX manual; check that the control on your G22010 matches before using those instructions. The manual also lists customer-access parameters for thermostat set points, temperature scale, clock and date, defrost lockouts, room temperature offset, and viewing cabinet-air and evaporator-coil sensor temperatures. Sensor readings can be viewed but not adjusted.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Disconnect electrical power before cleaning parts of the unit, as directed in the supplied G-Series manual. The manual identifies regular condenser-coil cleaning as important for reliable operation and efficiency. To access the front-facing condenser on the manual’s described configuration, disconnect power, remove the two screws at the bottom of the front louver assembly, then pivot the louver upward. The G22010 product information also describes a removable one-piece louver assembly and an accessible front-facing condensing coil.

For the stainless steel exterior, the manual recommends warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth, wiping in the direction of the metal grain. It cautions against strong detergents, gritty or abrasive cleaners, and cleaners containing chlorine, which may promote corrosion. For the interior, follow the applicable instructions in the unit’s Use & Care Guide.

The manual recommends inspecting the door gasket every three months. Look for tears, dirt, mould or wear, clean the gasket with mild soap and water, and replace it as needed. It warns against cleaners containing chlorine or chlorides. The G22010 product description identifies its door gaskets as EZ Clean gaskets.

Troubleshooting

The supplied G-Series operation manual offers these checks for common symptoms:

• Condensing unit does not start: Check whether the cord and plug are disconnected, and check the control temperature setting.
• Condensing unit runs for a prolonged time or continuously: Check that the doors close properly. The manual also lists a dirty condenser or filter and an iced evaporator coil as possible causes. Clean the condenser or filter as appropriate; the manual refers to its manual-defrost instructions for an iced coil. A refrigerant shortage requires service.
• Food compartment is too warm: Check that the doors and gaskets seal properly. The manual notes that recently added warm food or a door left open for a long time can require recovery time. It also recommends checking the control setting and cleaning the condensing coil.

If the unit continues to have an operating problem, the manual advises contacting an authorized Traulsen service agent. For wiring-diagram assistance, it directs users to Traulsen Service and asks them to provide the model and serial number.

Applications

The G22010 is a commercial reach-in freezer for kitchens that need two-section frozen storage and full-height solid-door access. Its six shelves, 46.02-cu.-ft. interior, and separate cabinet sections can support organised storage of frozen ingredients and prepared items in restaurant, institutional, or other foodservice kitchens. Check the stated dimensions and overhead or rear airflow requirements against the planned location before purchase.
