6000XL Series Service and Installation Manual
Delfield
Serial Number Information
The serial number tag of all 6000XL Series refrigerators and
freezers is located inside the cabinet on the left side.
Always have the serial number of your unit available when
calling for parts or service. A complete list of authorized
Delfield parts depots is available at www.delfield.com.
This manual covers standard units only. If you have a custom
unit, consult the customer service department at the number
listed below.
Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use
only. Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to
support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded
6000XL series can weigh as much as 1500 pounds. Reinforce
the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading. For the
most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation
inside and out.
Inside cabinet: Do not pack refrigerator so full that air cannot
circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of
the unit. It is important to allow for proper air flow from the
top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this air flow
can cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature
or overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan. The rear
of the unit has molded ribs and the shelves have a rear turn
up on them to prevent this. However,
bags and other items can still be
located to the far rear of the cabinet.
There is also a return air diffuser
along the top front of the cabinet
interior, this also requires proper air
circulation. Prevent obstruction by
locating large boxes and tall stacks of
product to the bottom of the cabinet.
Stabilizing
Some models are supplied on casters for your convenience,
ease of cleaning underneath and for mobility. It is very
important, however, that the cabinet be installed in a stable
condition with the front wheels locked while in use.
Should it become necessary to lay the unit on its side or back
for any reason, allow at least 24 hours before start-up so as to
allow compressor oil to flow back to the sump. Failure to meet
this requirement can cause compressor failure and unit damage.
Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit
warranties due to improper installation procedures.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on the specifications page, the serial
tag, your local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure
the unit is connected to the proper power source. A protected
circuit of the correct voltage and amperage must be run for connec tion of the line cord, or permanent connection to the unit.
The thermostat must be turned to OFF and
the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service, maintenance
functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
Outside cabinet: Be sure that the
unit has access to ample air. Avoid
hot corners and locations near stoves
and ovens.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than
2” from any wall with at least 12” of clear space above the
unit. Avoid exposing glass door units to direct sunlight. Direct
sunlight through the glass doors will make the ABS liner
fade and become brittle and will greatly reduce refrigeration
efficiency.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the
doors will line up with the frames properly, the cabinet will not
be subject to undue strain and the contents of the cabinet will
not move around on the shelves. Use a level to make sure the
unit is level from front to back and side to side. Units supplied
with legs will have adjustable bullet feet to make the necessary
adjustments. If the unit is supplied with casters, no adjustments
are available. Ensure the floor where the unit is to be located
is level.
Power Switch
Select units are equipped with a power disconnect switch
located next to the energy saver switch and thermostat
control knob. Switch must be in the “on” position for the
unit to operate. On freezers, if the switch is turned off, then
returned to the on position, the unit will enter a defrost cycle
and the display will read “Def.”
Upon powering unit, there could be up to a 10
minute delay before unit begins to cool.
1. Open door 90˚ and lift door straight up and off hinges.
2. Remove the metal screw covers on each door-side hinge

Leg & Caster Installation
Some cabinets may weigh over 1000 lbs (450 kg).
Use a lifting device capable of supporting the unit
WARNING
To install the legs, or casters refer to Figure 1 and proceed as
follows:
1. Remove unit from skid.
2. Raise unit to access leg/caster mounting bolts on bottom
of unit.
3. Remove the bolts from the cabinet and use them to attach
the legs or casters.
when removing skid or installing legs or casters.
All single-section units require that the swivel
casters be mounted on the front and rigid casters
be mounted on the rear.
The electronic temperature control constantly monitors box
temperature as well as evaporator coil temperature to maintain
consistent product temperatures. The control also sends
temperature readings to the digital temperature display. The
control circuits continually self-check and if an error occurs,
the digital display will switch from temperature read-out to
error read-out, i.e. E 1. Even when an error is displayed, the
refrigeration and controls system should continue to function,
however not at optimal performance. Whenever the display has
an error read-out, Delfield Service should be contacted.
At initial start-up or anytime power is disconnected, then
reconnected to the unit, the control will delay all operations for
a short time (up to 10 minutes.) While in this delay period, the
control initializes the control parameters and confirms that the
temperature sensors and circuits are operational. The digital
temperature display will not display temperature OR errors until
the self-check is complete and the control has switched on the
evaporator fan motor, compressor and condenser fan motor.
Freezer:
The control is located in the control box in the top of the
refrigerator behind the removable louvered panel on the left
side. It is factory set at mid-range to maintain about -3˚F
(-18˚C) box temperature. To adjust for colder temperatures,
turn the knob clockwise. For warmer temperatures, turn the
knob counter-clockwise. Turn the knob fully counter-clockwise
to turn the refrigeration system off. Never turn the knob more
than 1 dial number and always allow 8 hours for temperature
stabilization before making any additional adjustments.
Power Switch
Select units are equipped with a power disconnect switch
located next to the energy saver switch and thermostat control
knob. Switch must be in the “on” position for the unit to
operate. On freezers, if the switch is turned off, then returned to
the on position, the unit will enter a defrost cycle and the display
will read “Def.”
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING FREEZERS: After initializing,
the control will immediately enter a DEFROST mode and the
display will read DEF. The compressor and condenser fan as
well as the evaporator fan will remain off until initialization
defrost is complete. This initial defrost cycle may take up to
15 minutes to complete, at which time the freezing cycle will
begin. The display will continue to read DEF for an additional
30 minutes before displaying temperature.
Temperature Alarm:
The alarm will flash “HI” or “LO” 90 minutes after the unit has
reached its alarm temperature point or after any power interruption
if the temperature is above or below the alarm set points.
Refrigerators are factory set at mid-range to maintain about 38ºF
(3ºC) box temperature. The high refrigerator temperature point
is 50°F (10°C). The low refrigerator temperature point is 25°F
(-4°C). Freezers are factory set at mid-range to maintain about 3ºF
(-18ºC) box temperature. The high freezer temperature point is
20°F (-7°C). Freezers do not have a low temperature point.
Refrigerator:
The control is located in the control box in the top of the
refrigerator behind the removable louvered panel on the left
side. It is factory set at mid-range to maintain about 38˚F
(3˚C) box temperature. To adjust for colder temperatures, turn
the knob clockwise. For warmer temperatures, turn the knob
counter-clockwise. Turn the knob fully counter-clockwise to
turn the refrigeration system off. Never turn the knob more
than 1 dial number and always allow 8 hours for temperature
stabilization before making any additional adjustments.
Energy Saver Switch
The energy saver switch is a rocker switch located next to
the thermostat knob that controls the amount of heat applied
to the door perimeter. The normal operating position for this
switch is the ON position, providing the least heat. If excessive
condensation is observed on the door opening, press the
energy saver switch to the OFF position, to increase the amount
of heat (red portion of the rocker switch will be visible).
Refrigeration & Defrost Cycle
Refrigerator:
Whenever the refrigerator is plugged in, and the control
has completed initializing, the digital thermostat will display
box temperature. The temperature control will cycle the
compressor, evaporator fan motor and condenser fan motor to
maintain box temperature at the control setting. See evaporator
fan matrix for more information.
Refrigerator Defrost
The temperature control also monitors the evaporator
temperature and will turn off the compressor and condenser
fan motor when needed to allow accumulated frost on the
evaporator to clear. During this defrost cycle, the digital
temperature display will read dEF. After the defrost cycle is
complete, the temperature control will return to a normal
cooling cycle, but the display will continue to read dEF until the
evaporator returns to normal cooling temperatures (up to 30
minutes).
