CAUTION

Installation

F18 Series Service and Installation Manual

Location

These units 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 72”
(183cm) long model may weigh as much as 1500 pounds
(680kg)! 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” (2.54cm) from any wall. Do not
install the unit near any combustible material or
object affected by heat or moisture.

PDL models also require 14" (36cm) clearance
at the top and 6" (15cm) clearance at the bottom
(casters).

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" (2.54cm) 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 responsibility to
provide a container or outlet for drainage.

Electrical connection

Refer to the specification pages amperage data, 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 (2°C to
4°C). Temperature in the salad top and refrigerated rail opening
is 33°F to 41°F (0°C to 5°C) with pans recessed 2” (5.1cm) on
a standard wrapped refrigerated rail or flush with the LiquiTec
option at 86°F (30°C) ambient room temperature. Freezer
bases are designed to maintain an operational temperature of
0°F (-18°C).

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.

Refrigerated rail units

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
cases it cannot be repaired at all.

Pressure Control Settings

Factory recommended low-pressure control settings are:

HFC-404A refrigerators: 85psi (5.86bar) cut-in and 65psi

(4.48bar) cut-out to maintain
approximate interior temperature of
38°F (3°C).
Differential setting of 20psi (1.38bar).

HFC-404A freezers: 32psi (2.21bar) cut-in and 8psi (.552bar)

cut-out to maintain approximate
interior temperature of 0°F to 5°F
(-18°C to -15°C).
Differential setting of 24psi (1.65bar).

HFC-404A refrigerators with LiquiTec Rail:

20psi (1.38bar) cut-in and 10psi

(.689bar) cut-out
Differential setting of 10psi (.689bar)
Temperature control for LiquiTec Rail,

25°F (-4°C) cut in and 18°F (-8°C) cut-

out.

Pressure control settings are measured in pressure,
not temperature.
