Receiving And Inspecting ..........................................................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 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
visually inspect the refrigeration package. Be sure lines are
secure and base is still intact.
7. Freight carriers can supply the necessary damage forms
upon request.
8. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been made
or waived.
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.
This unit is intended for indoor use only. Be sure the location chosen has
a floor strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet, cooking
equipment and contents. Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for
maximum loading, for complete weight chart, please refer to page 7.
Good refrigeration is based on good air circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet: Do not pack refrigerator so full that air cannot circulate.
Outside cabinet: Be sure that the unit has access to ample air to and from
the unit. If air flow is available to the rear of the unit that will help dissipate
exhaust air. In the event the unit is attached to the wall mount brackets,
it is important that air flow is available to the compressor compartment.
Allow air flow to the bottom of the unit as well, avoid hot corners when
possible. Allowing for the proper air flow and ventilation to the compressor
compartment will extend the life of the compressor as well as ensure proper
operation.
Cooking Equipment: WARNING! To assure proper
operation a 2" airspace must be maintained between
the bottom of any cooking equipment and the top of
this unit. Cooking equipment must have a barrier (i.e.
bottom, drip pan) between its heat source and the top
of the equipment stand. Failure to comply with this
could severely damage the equipment stand and void
all warranties.
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 legs will have an adjustable bullet foot on each leg, adjust
each for a level unit. 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.
Lock all front casters to ensure the stability of the unit.
Wall bracket installation
A wall bracket kit is supplied to secure the equipment stand to an interior
wall. Some models are supplied on optional casters. These units must
also have the wall bracket installed during use.
The wall bracket must be installed properly and the
equipment stand firmly secured to it before using this
unit! Failure to observe this warning may result in
damage to the equipment and/or injury to the operator!
Never use the drawers as steps!
Do not overload the drawers or drop or throw product into the drawer
pans.
To install the wall bracket, follow these instructions:
1.
Place the threaded rod through the front and rear
brackets in the compressor section. Thread the rod into
F2000/F17 Series Equipment Stand Service and Installation Manual
the wall bracket, making sure the longer bracket tabs
are above the height of the unit.
2.
Tighten the rod until the bracket is held snug against the
back of the unit.
3.
Move the unit against the wall at the desired location.
4.
Secure the wall mount bracket to the wall using the top
two holes provided in the bracket tabs exposed above
the unit. The wall material must be capable of supporting
a minimum load of 300 pounds (136 kilograms) in the
vertical direction. All screws must be 1/4" diameter and
be capable of transferring the load from the bracket to
the wall.
5.
Remove the threaded rod from the wall mount bracket
and move the unit away from the wall, leaving the bracket
attached to the wall.
6.
Secure the bracket to the wall using the remaining four
holes.
7.
Move the unit back into place and thread the rod back
into the wall mount bracket.
8.
The unit should now be secured to the wall. Test the
mounting by pulling on the unit and checking that all
screws are tightened and the unit is firmly in place. If
the unit is secured, you may now place other equipment
on top of the stand and use the unit as required.
Never place any equipment on top of this unit without
first installing the wall bracket as shown above and
ensuring that the equipment is securely anchored and
stable.
9.
To remove the unit in order to clean behind it, first
remove any equipment placed on top of the stand.
Then rotate the knob on the threaded rod counterclockwise to loosen and remove the rod from the bracket.
Before removing any cooking equipment
(including cooking oils) from the equipment stand,
allow time for the equipment to cool thoroughly.
Use extreme care in moving cooking equipment.
The threaded rod must be reinstalled and tightened
before returning the unit to service!
Be sure all cooking equipment resting on the equipment
stand is properly anchored. Consult the manufacturer’s
instructions for the cooking equipment to determine
the proper mounting technique. It is the owner’s and
operator’s responsibility to securely anchor cooking
equipment to the equipment stand.
Plumbing
Self-contained equipment stands come standard with a condensate
evaporator. If the condensate 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.

Installation — Continued
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3 & 4, 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.
Operation: Refrigerated Base Equipment Stands
Drawer base equipment stands are designed and pre-set at the
factory to maintain a temperature of 36°F to 40°F (2°C to 4°C). A
solar-powered digital thermometer is located on the front of the
unit to allow monitoring of the drawer housing temperature.
The drawer housing temperature is controlled by a pressure
control located in the machine compartment. Continuous opening
and closing of the drawers will hamper the unit’s ability to maintain
optimum refrigeration temperature. Excess weight on top of the
unit will adversely affect the operation of the drawers.
The cooling coil is coated in epoxy to provide long-lasting service.
However, storing all acidic items, such as peppers and tomatoes
with lids that are sealable and immediately wiping up all spills of
either acid or base items will greatly extend the life of your unit.
The on/off switch must be turned to OFF and the
unit disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or
cleaning the refrigerated area.
Under no circumstances is a self-contained unit to
be operated without the louvered panel in place.
Never stand on the unit or its drawers! They are not
designed to hold the weight of an adult, and may
collapse or unit may tip if misused in this manner.
These units use HFC-404A refrigerant and have a
lock-out high pressure limiting device. Under severe
overloading conditions, in the event of a condenser fan
failure or a plugged or blocked condenser, this device
may shut down the refrigeration system.
Operation: Freezer Base Equipment Stands
Freezer base equipment stands are designed and pre-set at the
factory to maintain a temperature of 0°F to -5°F (-18°C to -21°C)
interior cabinet temperature at 100°F (38°C) ambient room
temperature. Self-contained units have a digital thermometer
installed in the removable louver. The digital thermometer for
remote units is located in the removable access panel.
Freezers use a Paragon time clock dial for automatic defrosting of
the evaporator coil. The time clock dial is accessible by removing
the larger plate of the electrical box located behind the removable
louver.
T
o Set Time of Day:
Turn the knob of the Paragon time clock dial in the center of the inner
(2 hour) dial and rotate it in a counter-clockwise direction. This will
rotate the outer dial. Continue turning until the correct time of day
on the outer dial lines up with the time pointer.
CAUTION: There is a risk of electrical shock when
removing of top panel or timer cover. Live electrical
parts may be exposed. Disconnect power supply
before servicing.
Operation of Paragon Timer:
The Paragon timer is preset at the factory to provide four defrosts per
day at 6:00 am, 12:00 pm, 6:00 pm and 12:00 midnight. To defrost
on the factory preset schedule the time must be set. If it is necessary
to change the number of defrosts due to unusual operating conditions
it can be accomplished by placing the pins in the outer dial at the
appropriate time of day that defrost initiation is desired.
When the defrost control goes into defrost, power to the condensing
unit and evaporator fans is interrupted, and the defrost heater is
energized. The defrost heater warms the evaporator coil thereby
melting all frost accumulated during the previous refrigeration cycle.
Once all frost is eliminated, the temperature of the coil continues to
rise until it reaches 70°F (27°C). When this temperature is sensed by
the defrost limit control, the defrost control switches to refrigeration
mode.
If for any reason the timer remains in defrost for a period of time
greater than 40 minutes, a back-up defrost termination is also
provided.
This back-up is an integral part of the time clock and is set at the
factory at 40 minutes.
It can be changed in the field as follows: push down and rotate
pointer on inside (2 hour) dial until it is opposite desired time
period (in minutes).
Caution: Even under the most severe operating
conditions, it should not be necessary to set the
back-up time greater than 60 minutes. Consult the
factory if complete de-icing of the coil is not accom-
Factory recommended low-pressure control settings are:
HFC-404A refrigerators: 85# cut-in and 65# cut-out to maintain
approximate interior temperature of 38°F. Differential setting of
20#.
HFC-404A freezers: 32# cut-in and 8# cut-out to maintain
approximate interior temperature of 0°F to 5°F. Differential setting
of 24#.
Pressure control settings are measured in pounds,
not fahrenheit.
Minor adjustments can be made to the pressure
control setting by turning the knob in a clockwise
direction for a colder temperature or counter
clockwise for a warmer temperature. In attempting
to adjust the pressure control, you can do
damage to your unit by accidentally adjusting the
differential. If you are uncertain of this procedure,
we strongly recommend that adjustments be
made by a qualified service agent. Delfield is not
responsible for charges incurred while having the
pressure control adjusted.

Maintenance
Door Gasket Maintenance
Door gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew
build up and also to retain the elasticity of the gasket. Gasket
cleaning can be done with the use of warm soapy water. Avoid
full strength cleaning products on gaskets as this can cause them
to become brittle and crack. Never use sharp tools or knives to
scrape or clean the gasket. Gaskets can be easily replaced and do
not require the use of tools or an authorized service person. The
gaskets are “Dart” style and can be pulled out of the groove in the
door and new gaskets can be “pressed” back into place.
Drain Maintenance - Base
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit that removes the
condensation from the evaporator coil and routes it to an external
condensate evaporator pan. Each drain can become loose or
disconnected during normal use. If you notice water accumulation
on the inside of the unit be sure the drain tube is connected to
the evaporator drain pan. If water is collecting underneath the unit
make sure the end of the drain tube is in the condensate evaporator
in the machine compartment. The leveling of the unit is important
as the units are designed to drain properly when level. Be sure all
drain lines are free of obstructions.
Drawer Maintenance
Drawer Assembly Cleaning
The drawer assembly is designed to be cleaned easily. Both drawer
and tracks are removable without tools. The drawer tracks are
dishwasher safe or can be cleaned in a sink with detergents and
a soft bristle brush. Drawers and tracks should be cleaned on a
weekly basis.
Remove Drawers
Pull the drawer box out until it stops. Lift up on the drawer front
and pull the drawer box completely out. Using a soft bristle brush,
clean the track on the bottom of the drawer box. When finished, it
should be wiped clean of all food and debris.
Tracks
The drawer box assembly must be removed. Pull the drawer tracks
out until they hit a stop. Locate blue safety clips towards the back
of each drawer track. Blue safety clips have a tab on the top. Push
the tab back until it clicks. Lift up and pull the drawer tracks all
the way out of the drawer
cage. The drawer tracks
are dishwasher safe or
can be cleaned in a sink
tab on top of
blue safety clip
Using a soft bristle brush, wash the track making sure each roller
is thoroughly cleaned. The drawer cage should be cleaned with
a soft bristle brush, removing any food and debris gathered on
the bottom ledge. Once it’s cleaned thoroughly with a soft bristle
brush, wipe remaining debris clean with a soft towel.
with detergents and a soft
bristle brush. Drawers
and tracks should be
cleaned on a weekly basis.
Reassembly
Push the drawer tracks into the drawer cage. The blue safety clip
must remain pushed towards the back. Lift up and slide the drawer
track all the way into the drawer cage. The blue safety clip will
lock in place automatically. Once all tracks are replaced, insert the
drawer box. Rest the drawer box bottom track on the front track
roller. Then push the drawer back in place SLOWLY. When the
drawer box is about half way in you will hit a STOP. You must lift
the front of the drawer up approximately ½” (1.3cm) to continue
inward. Clean tracks as often as possible. The cleaner the tracks
are the better they will operate.
Caster Maintenance
Wipe casters with a damp cloth monthly to prevent corrosion.
The power switch must be turned to OFF and the
unit disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning
the refrigerated area.
Refrigerators and Freezers
The interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and warm water.
If this isn’t sufficient, try ammonia and water or a nonabrasive
liquid cleaner. When cleaning the exterior, always rub with the
“grain” of the stainless steel to avoid marring the finish. Do not
use an abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the stainless steel
and can damage the breaker strips and gaskets.
Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning
To prevent discoloration or rust on stainless steel several important
steps need to be taken. First, we need to understand the properties
of stainless steel. Stainless steel contains 70- 80% iron, which will
rust. It also contains 12-30% chromium, which forms an invisible
passive film over the steel’s surface, which acts as a shield against
corrosion. As long as the protective layer is intact, the metal is still
stainless. If the film is broken or contaminated, outside elements
can begin to breakdown the steel and begin to form discoloration
or rust. Proper cleaning of stainless steel requires soft cloths or
plastic scouring pads.
NEVER USE STEEL PADS, WIRE BRUSHES OR SCRAPERS!
Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline based or non-chloride
cleaners. Any cleaner containing chlorides will damage the
protective film of the stainless steel. Chlorides are also commonly
found in hard water, salts, and household and industrial cleaners. If
cleaners containing chlorides are used be sure to rinse repeatedly
and dry thoroughly. Routine cleaning of stainless steel can be done
with soap and water. Extreme stains or grease should be cleaned
with a non-abrasive cleaner and plastic scrub pad. Always rub with
the grain of the steel. There are stainless steel cleaners available
which can restore and preserve the finish of the steels protective
layer. Early signs of stainless steel breakdown are small pits and
cracks. If this has begun, clean thoroughly and start to apply
stainless steel cleaners in attempt to restore the passivity of the
steel.
