The serial number on all self-contained F5 Series units is
located near the condensing unit. On all remote F5 Series
units the serial number is located on the drop-in frame.
The serial number on all self-contained F15 Series units is
located behind the compressor housing. On all remote F15
Series units the serial number is located behind the six inch
panel in the base.
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.
Units represented in this manual are for indoor use only. All
self-contained units were tested at the factory to assure proper
operation. The unit should not be installed directly next to high
heat generating equipment (ranges, griddles, etc.). 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 2,000 pounds! Reinforce the counter as
necessary to provide for maximum loading.
These units are installed by “dropping” them into the counter
from above. The counter cutout sizes are as follows:
48” wide units — 18.62" x 23.62" (47.3 cm x 60.0 cm)
72” wide units — 18.62" x 32.62" (47.3 cm x 82.9 cm)
Self-contained F5 Series units require airflow to the
compressor. Two louvers are provided with each unit and
should be installed as illustrated on page 10.
Unit is designed to maintain 36°F (2°C) to 40°F (4°C) interior
cabinet temperature at 65% or lower ambient relative humidity.
Plumbing
Self-contained models are standard with a condensate
evaporator. If, for some reason, a unit does not have a
condensate evaporator, or 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 pages 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.
Self-contained units have an ON/OFF switch in the junction
box. Simply turn the switch to ON to begin operation.
The power switch should be turned to OFF and
the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service or maintenance
functions.
Units represented in this manual are 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 model
may weigh as much as 3,000 pounds! Reinforce the floor as
necessary to provide for maximum loading.
For the most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air
circulation inside and out. Don’t pack the refrigerator so full
that air cannot circulate. Be sure that the exterior of the unit has
access to ample air. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves
and ovens.
Unit is designed to maintain 36°F (2°C) to 40°F (4°C) interior
cabinet temperature at 65% or lower ambient relative humidity.
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. Units come standard with adjustable legs and
bullet feet to make leveling easier. If your unit has casters,
install in a stable condition with the front casters locked before
operating.

or the evaporator fails, the unit’s drain must have an outlet to an

correct voltage and amperage must be run for connection of the
line cord, or permanent connection to the unit.
Self-contained units 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 should be turned to OFF and
the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service or maintenance
functions.
