Serial Number Location ........................................................2
Receiving And Inspecting .....................................................2
The serial number is located in the interior back top corner.
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 an 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 of the concealed equipment. This
should be done within 10 days from receipt of the
equipment.
5. Check the lower portion of the unit to be sure casters are
not bent.
6. Also remove the back and visually inspect the refrigeration
Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to
support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully
loaded model may weigh as much as 500 pounds! Reinforce
the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading.
It is very important to allow for proper air flow, both inside
and outside.
Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves, ovens and
other pieces of cooking equipment.
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.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because
the drain pan will drain properly, the doors will line up with
the frames properly, and the cabinet will not be subject to
undue strain.
A unit on casters will not be adjustable. Be sure the unit
is on a level floor, make necessary changes to the floor for
proper level.
Plumbing
Self-contained models are standard with a condensate evaporator.
If, for some reason a unit does not have a condensate evaporator,
or 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 and operator’s
responsibility to provide a container or outlet for
drainage.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on pages 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 of the unit.
Self-contained units with a cord and plug have an ON/OFF
switch located on the back of the equipment. Simply turn the
switch to ON to begin operation.
The power switch must be turned to OFF and
the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service or maintenance
functions.
Never operate the unit without the louvered panel
in place!
Operation
After turning the ON/OFF switch to ON the unit’s compressor
will begin operating. Delfield refrigerated bases are designed
to maintain an operational temperature of 36°F to 40°F.
Temperature in the salad top and refrigerated rail opening is
33°F to 41°F.
Do not place hot pans on/against the blue ABS liner.
Do not throw items into the storage area. Failure
to heed these recommendations could result in
damage to the interior of the cabinet or to the
blower coil.
Overloading the storage area, restricting the air
flow, and continuous opening and closing of the
doors will hamper the units ability to maintain
operational temperature.
Refrigerated rail units
To ensure product quality in the rail it is recommended that
product be rotated every four hours. Product in the rail must
be removed and stored in the refrigerated base at the end of
the day. When the timer is set, the rail will turn off at night
and on again in the morning. This will save energy, allow the
rail time to defrost and maintain product quality. The LiquiTec
rail is required to be shut off at night, there is a rail ON/OFF
switch to be used if necessary. A pilot light on front of the
unit will illuminate when the rail is on. With a LiquiTec rail a
thermostat is provided to maintain rail temperature. To adjust
for colder temperatures, turn the knob clockwise. For warmer
temperatures, turn the knob counter-clockwise. Never turn the
knob more than 1 dial number and always allow 8 hours for
temperature stabilization before making additional adjustments.
The rail cover must not be removed during rail
operation. Any attempt to modify the rail could
result in operator injury.
If adding any item to the unit, be sure to keep
in mind the location of the refrigeration lines on
wrapped rail units. A refrigeration leak in a rail
is extremely difficult and costly to repair. In some
cases it cannot be repaired at all.

Cold Rail Timer Setup
Timer is located
on back of unit.
Chili's Service and Installation Manual
Cold Rail Timer
Base Switch
Cold Rail Power Switch
After installing the unit, find the timer located on back of
the unit. See graphic above. Set the Cold Rail timer to the
correct local time. Turn the rail switch ON. The defrost period
is factory set to standard Brinker International specifications
(OFF at 12:00 a.m., ON at 8:30 a.m.). A pilot light on front of
the unit will illuminate when the rail is on.
High ambient temperature, humidity, or a rail that
does not have a full compliment of pans can cause
excessive frost in the rail.
Pressure Control Settings
Factory recommended low-pressure control settings are:
HFC-404A refrigerators with LiquiTec Rail:
20# cut-in and 10# cut-out to
Differential setting of 10#
Pressure control settings are measured in
pounds, not fahrenheit.
Remove any water remaining in the cold rail during early
morning operations. Cold rails should be cleaned at this time
when the frost/ice is not present. Rail performance will be
significantly reduced if water remains in rail and is allowed to
freeze.
If there is excessive frost upon morning startup,
call Delfield customer service.
