Serial Number Information ........................................................2
Even though most equipment is shipped crated, care should
be taken during unloading so the equipment is not damaged
while being moved into the building.
1. Visually inspect the exterior of the package and skid or
container. Any damage should be noted and reported to
the delivering carrier immediately.
2. If damaged, open and inspect the contents with the
carrier.
3. In the event that the exterior is not damaged, yet upon
opening, there is concealed damage to the equipment
notify the carrier. Notification should be made verbally
Serial Number Information
The serial number of all self-contained 6000XL Series
refrigerators and freezers is located above the door under the
shroud.
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.
as well as in written form.
4. Request an inspection by the shipping company of the
damaged equipment. This should be done within 10
days from receipt of the equipment.
5. Be certain to check the compressor compartment
housing and visually inspect the refrigeration package.
Be sure lines are secure and base is still intact.
6. Freight carriers can supply the necessary damage forms
upon request.
7. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been
made or waived.
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.
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.
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 page 3, 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 connection
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 evaporator fans will run continuously and
the digital temperature will display box temperature in degrees F. The
temperature control will cycle the compressor and condenser fan
motor to maintain box temperature at the control setting.
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).
Freezer:
Whenever the freezer is plugged in, and the control has completed
initializing including the initial defrost cycle (also see Electronic
Temperature Control Operation, on this page), the evaporator fans
will run continuously. After evaporator coil has reached operational
temperature, the digital temperature will display box temperature in
degrees F. The temperature control will cycle the compressor and
condenser fan motor to maintain box temperature at the control
setting.
Freezer Automatic Defrost
The control also monitors compressor total running time and will
enter a defrost cycle after total compressor running time is greater
than 4-hours since the last defrost cycle OR if evaporator coil
temperature drops below -34˚F (indicating excessive frost on the
coil).
Freezer Manual Defrost
If a manual defrost is desired, simply unplug the unit for several
seconds, then plug unit back in. This will cause the control to reinitialize and then enter a defrost cycle.
When the control enters the defrost mode, it switches off the
evaporator fan motor, compressor and condenser fan motor, and
switches on the defrost heater to warm the evaporator coil. Thereby
melting all frost accumulated during the previous refrigeration
cycle. The digital temperature display will now read dEF. The
control will continue the defrost cycle for a MINIMUM of 8 minutes
and a MAXIMUM of 30 minutes depending on the amount of frost
accumulated on the evaporator coil.
After the defrost cycle is complete, the control returns to a normal
refrigeration cycle, however the evaporator fan motor will not switch
on for 2 minutes AFTER the compressor and condenser fan motor
have begun operating. The digital temperature display will continue
to read dEF until the evaporator has returned to normal freezing
temperatures (up to 30 minutes).
