ASM Series Service and Installation Manual
ContentsSerial Number Location
Serial Number Location ........................................................2
The serial number on all self-contained Drop-In Air Screen
Merchandiser units is located on the mechanical section wall.
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.
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 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. Check the lower portion of the unit to be sure legs or
casters are not bent.
6. Also open the compressor compartment housing and
7. Freight carriers can supply the necessary damage forms
8. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been
Uncrating the Equipment
First cut and remove the banding from around the crate.
Remove the front of the crate material, use of some tools will
be required. If the unit is on legs remove the top of the crate
as well and lift the unit off the skid. If the unit is on casters it
can be "rolled" off the skid.
visually inspect the refrigeration package. Be sure lines
are secure and base is still intact.
Unit is designed to maintain 36°F - 40°F (2°C - 4°C) at 80°F
(27°C) ambient room temperature in 55% or lower relative
humidity.
Units represented in this manual are for indoor use only. Be sure
the location chosen has a counter strong enough to support the
total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded model
may weigh as much as 1,500 pounds! Reinforce the counter as
necessary to provide for maximum loading.
These units are installed by placing them into the counter from
above. The counter cutout sizes are as follows:
36" Units - 35.13" x 25.50" (89cm x 65cm)
48" Units - 47.13" x 25.50" (120cm x 65cm)
60" Units - 59.13" x 25.50" (150cm x 65cm)
Two louvers are provided with each
unit and must be installed in 17.00"
x 28.00" (43cm x 71cm) cutouts.
Cut-outs are to begin at 10.00"
(25cm) from the counter-top.
For the most efficient refrigeration,
be sure to provide good air
circulation inside and out. Don’t pack
the merchandiser so full that air
cannot circulate. Avoid hot corners
and locations near stoves and ovens.
Air movement in the room will adversely effect ASM refrigeration.
Do not place the model near doors or air vents.

It is recommended that the unit be installed no
closer than 1” from any wall. Do not install the
unit near any combustible material or object
affected by heat or moisture.
Failure to provide the proper air flow will void the warranty.
Plumbing
Standard models will have a 1/2" drain which will need to be run
to an appropriate floor drain. The drain will be stubbed inside
the machine compartment. All units have an optional electric
condensate evaporator. If the evaporator fails, the unit’s drain
must have an outlet to an appropriate drainage area or container.
Moisture collecting from improper drainage can
create a slippery surface on the floor and a hazard
to employees. It is the owner’s responsibility to
provide a container or outlet for drainage.
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 con nec tion of the
line cord, or permanent connection to the unit.
An ON/OFF switch is located on the remote control panel. Simply
turn the switch to ON to begin operation. There is a second ON/
OFF switch on the remote control panel for the lights.
The power switch should be turned to OFF and
the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service or maintenance
functions.
1. Remove the stainless steel pans in the bottom on the
unit.
2. Remove the stainless steel pan clip rail below the door
track.
3. Bolt in the lifting plates using the bolts (P/N 9320019)
located inside the tank that are installed in the lifting
braces.
4. Slide two 1"steel pipes into the lifting plate holes. Place
forklift forks under the pipes and clamp the forks and
pipes in position.
5. Raise the unit high enough with the forklift to roll the
base under the unit into position. Lower the ASM unit into
the base using care to clear all of the flanges and screw
heads.
6. Remove the bolts and remove the lifting plates. Install
plastic plugs (P/NRTPOOO67) in the bolt holes.
7. Install the stainless steel pan clip rail below the door
track.
8. Install the stainless steel pans in the bottom on the unit
making sure the turn down is engaged in the slot below
the door track.
9. Install the sneeze guard glass in the clips and attach the
end clip with two stainless steel self tapping screws (P/
N9321238).
10. Use gray silicone (P/N9291020) to finish the joint
between the drop in unit and the top of the base.
Located on the Remote Control Panel are two ON/OFF
switches. One will turn ON/OFF the unit’s com pressor. The
lights are controlled by the other switch.
Delfield's Air Screen Merchandisers are designed to maintain
an operational temperature of 36°F - 40°F (2°C - 4°C) at 80°F
(27°C) ambient room temperature in 55% or lower relative
humidity. Overloading the merchandiser, restricting the air
flow, and continuous opening and closing of the doors will
hinder the unit’s ability to maintain operational tem per a tures.
If humidity is above 55%, condensation on the glass
will be present.
Sliding Door Removal And Reinstall
Sliding Door Removal
Open the door almost completely. Firmly grasp both sides of
the door. Lift the door up and move it until it enters a notch
and can be lifted higher. Tilt the bottom out without removing
the top. Use the top to gently return the spring to the closed
position. Remove the door from the top track.
Proper airflow is critical to maintaining temperature. Do not
interfere with the airflow by placing product over the air return
openings. The Air Diffuser Pan Assembly must be properly
in place at the bottom of the merchandising case, with the
air return openings on the customer side. After cleaning or
servicing the Front Deflector Glass, Honeycomb Diffuser and
Airduct Plexiglas Panel must be replaced properly.
Sliding Door Reinstall
There is a notch in the top inside corner of the door. Put the
spring in the door's notch and move the spring to the open
position. Put the top into the track and find the notch where the
door can be lifted higher. Set bottom of the door into the track.
Night & Security Cover Operations
At the factory, the keys are taped to the display case. Pull the
cover down, turn the key 90° to lock.
