Serial Number Location
The serial number on all self-contained F18 Series refrigerated work tables and freezer bases is located on the electrical specifications tag affixed inside the compressor section
next to the pressure control.
On remote refrigerated bases with doors, the tag is inside the
unit on the coil side. On remote refrigerated bases with drawers, the tag is affixed to the drawer divider. On remote freezer
bases, the tag is located on the inside back of the unit.
Always have the serial number of your unit available when
calling for parts or service. A complete list of authorized
Delfield parts depots is shown on the back cover of this
manual.
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 legs or
casters are not bent.
6. Also open the compressor compartment housing and

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.

Installation
Location
Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to
support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A
fully loaded 72” long model may weigh as much as 1500
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 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.
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. A refrigerated rail will have a 1" drain which will
need to be run to an appropriate floor drain or container.
The drain will be stubbed to the bottom of the machine
compartment. Either run drain to a floor drain or add a valve
to the base of the machine compartment and drain the rail to a
container when convenient. The LiquiTec option will NOT have
a drain available.
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 3-5, 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 directly behind the louvered panel covering
the compressor section. 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!
If electrical receptacles are to be mounted in the unit’s
backsplash, they must be wired independently from the
existing unit wiring.
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 with pans recessed 3” on a standard wrapped
refrigerated rail or flush with the LiquiTec option at 86°F
ambient room temperature. Freezer bases are designed to
maintain an operational temperature of 0°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 and drawers
will hamper the units ability to maintain operational
temperature.
Product in the rail should be removed to the refrigerated base
at the end of the day. This allows you to turn the
rail off at night to save energy and the rail will have
time to defrost as needed. It also helps maintain
product quality. The standard wrapped refrigerated
units are controlled by the pressure control which
is set to maintain the proper rail temperature an on/off switch
is also provided for the rail and is required to be shut off at
night. The rail switch shuts off the rail only. With a LiquiTec
rail a thermostat is provided to maintain rail temperature as
well as the rail on/off switch. The LiquiTec rail is required to
be shut off at night as well to allow for defrosting. To ensure
product quality in the rail it is recommended that product be
rotated every four hours.
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
The interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and warm
water. If this is not sufficient, try ammonia and water or 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 plastic.
The interior of the cabinet should be cleaned daily with a nonabrasive cleaner and a nonabrasive pad. If necessary, a mild
abrasive may be used on the interior of the pans only. Never
use steel wool. No drains are provided with rails, after defrosting water will accumulate in the rail. This will need to be
cleaned out thoroughly before restarting the rail as it will freeze
and severely reduce the efficiency of the rail.
Cleaning the condenser
In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the
condenser fins must be cleaned of dust, dirt and
grease regularly. It is recommended that this be
done at least every three months. If conditions
are such that the condenser is totally blocked
in three months, the frequency of cleaning should be
increased. Clean the condenser with a vacuum cleaner or
stiff brush. If extremely dirty, a commercially available condenser cleaner may be required.
Cleaning door gaskets
Door gaskets should be cleaned as required to maintain their
ability to seal properly. Do not use sharp tools or knives to
scrape the bellows as this may tear the gasket and eliminate
its ability to seal. A soft bristle brush and solution of soap and
water should be all that is required to keep the gaskets clean.
Do not use full strength degreasing agents on the gasket
because they could cause the gasket to become brittle and
crack.
Consistent cleaning of the coil will enhance the
operation of the unit by reducing energy consumption as well as extend the life of the compressor.
Preventing blower coil corrosion
To help prevent corrosion of the blower coil, store all acidic
items, such as pickles and tomatoes, in sealable containers.
Immediately wipe up all spills of items.
Pressure Control Settings
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#.
HFC-404A refrigerators with LiquiTec Rail:
20# cut-in and 10# cut-out to
Differential setting of 10#
Temperature control for
LiquiTec Rail, 25°F cut in and
18°F cut-out.
