USA FOODSERVICE & CANADA WARRANTY STATEMENT
This warranty only applies to units shipped from True’s manufacturing facilities after November 1, 2021 for US Foodservice & Canada.
FIVE-YEAR HYDROCARBON PARTS & LABOR WARRANTY & THREE YEARS HFC 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 with each TRUE unit. TRUE’s obligation
under this warranty is limited to a period of five (5) years for hydrocarbon (HC) units and three (3) years for HFC units from the date of the original installation. Any warranty coverage is
dependent on the purchase date of the cabinet being within 39 months of the original ship date from TRUE.
Any part covered under this warranty that is determined by TRUE to have been defective within this time frame, 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.
Warranty does not cover standard wear parts which include door gaskets, incandescent bulbs, or fluorescent bulbs. Warranty also does not cover issues caused by improper installation
or lack of basic preventative maintenance, which includes regular cleaning of condenser coils.
ADDITIONAL TWO-YEAR HYDROCARBON COMPRESSOR WARRANTY
In addition to the five (5) year warranty stated above, TRUE warrants its hermetically and semi-hermetically sealed Hydrocarbon (HC) compressor to be free from defects in both material
and workmanship under normal and proper use and maintenance service for a period of two (2) additional years, part only for compressor defects only. Our HFC compressors will have the three
(3) years parts & labor detailed above and an additional two (2) years for a compressor part only for compressor defects warranty.
Compressors determined by TRUE to have been defective within this time period will, at TRUE’s option, be either repaired or replaced with a compressor or compressor parts of similar
design and capacity.
The compressor component 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/HYDROCARBON COMPRESSOR WARRANTY
The compressor warranty detailed above will be voided if the following procedure is not carefully adhered to:
1. This system contains R404A, R134A, or R290 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 (855-372-1368). 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. An OEM exact replacement should be used. The new drier must also be the same
capacity as the drier being replaced.
3. Micron level vacuums must be achieved to ensure 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.
In case of warranty compressor, a picture of the compressor model tag must be returned to TRUE along with above listed information. For warranty claim information, visit www.truemfg.
com/Support/Warranty-Support. Any action for breach of these warranty provisions must be commenced within three (3) months of the defect giving rise to the breach.
True reserves the right to request any failed part covered under warranty to be returned.
