Serial Number Information ..................................................... 2
Receiving And Inspecting The Equipment ............................. 2
The serial number on self-contained refrigerated units is on the
electrical specifications tag located near the condensing unit.
On hot food pans and hot/cold combination pans, the serial
number tag is located on the bottom shelf of the cabinet.
The serial number tag also lists the refrigerant used and the
amount of charge.
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 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.
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 3000 pounds! Reinforce the floor
as necessary to provide for maximum loading.

Electrical Connection
A standard unit is provided with a power cord and grounded
plug.
The unit should be plugged into a receptacle with its own circuit
protection that matches the amperage of the plug.
For the most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air
circulation inside and out. Be sure that the exterior of the unit
has access to ample air. Avoid hot corners and locations near
stoves and ovens. It is suggested the rear of the unit be no
less than two inches from any wall, partition or any other object
which will restrict exhaust air flow.
Unit requires that the sides and bottom are not
any closer than 3” to any combustible material.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform more efficiently
when the doors line up with the door frames properly, the
cabinet will not be subject to undue strain and the corners of the
shelves will not move around on the supports. A level heated
unit will maintain an equal water depth when water is used in
the wells. Use a level to make sure the unit is level from front to
back and side to side.
Stabilizing
All models are supplied on casters for your convenience, ease
of cleaning underneath and for mobility.
The unit must be installed in a stable
condition with the front wheels locked,
locking the front casters after installation is
the owner’s responsibility.
Connections must be made in accordance
with all applicable local codes and/or the
National Electrical Code. Refer to the
amperage data on pages 3-4 and the wiring
diagrams on pages 9-12 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.
On cord-connected units, the ON/OFF switch
must be turned to its OFF position and
power supply disconnected whenever doing
the following:
1. Performing maintenance functions.
2. Cleaning the refrigerated cabinet area.
3. Performing service or repair functions.
Under no circumstances should a refrigerated unit be operated
without the louvered panel in place.
Plumbing
Refrigerated units have a drain that exits the unit on the bottom
and is located on the operator’s left side. Standard units on
casters or legs will have a bronze gate valve that fits a standard
garden hose. Drain connections are on the operator side below
the pan in the open shelf area.
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.

Operation SE-C And SES-C
There is a switch on the right side of the compressor stand used
to turn the unit on and off.
These units are designed to hold cold food product between
33°F to 41°F (0.6°C to 5°C).
Cold pans are adjusted at the factory to provide satisfactory
operation without any further adjustments. However, if it is
necessary to adjust the temperature, the control is located in the
machine compartment. Turn the knob clock-wise as indicated
on the control. Settings are from 1 through 7; 7 being the
coldest. Adjustments should be made gradually. Several small
adjustments will be more effective than one large adjustment. It
may take an hour or longer to realize the temperature change
depending on the application and location of the unit.
Operation SE-H And SES-H
These units are designed to hold warm food product between
140˚F to 160˚F (60˚C to 71˚C).
Individually heated hot food units may be operated “wet”
(with water in the wells) or “dry”. However, “wet” operation is
recommended for better performance.
After plugging in the power supply cord, select desired
temperature by rotating temperature control. A knob and
indicator light are provided for each individual heated food well.
First Time Use
Before the unit is used the first time for serving, turn the
temperature knob to HI and heat the well for 20 to 30 minutes.
Any residue or dust that adhered to the heater element(s) will
be burned off during this initial preheat period.
When serving thick sauces always operate the hot food well in
“wet” operation. This provides more uniform temperature for
the sauce.
Never place food directly in well. Always use
pans.
For most efficient operation, keep covered insets in each well
during preheating or when empty.
Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent food
from drying out.
Wet Operation
Fill the food well with about 2” of water and cover with lid or
empty pan. To preheat water, set temperature control at HI.
With pans in place, wells will boil water. Food temperature will
vary depending on type and amount of product. To minimize
steam and water usage, set control to lowest setting that will
maintain proper food temperature. To reduce preheating time,
use hot water to fill the well.
These units are not designed to cool warm food products.
Items should be placed in the unit pre-cooled at least to
the desired holding temperature, if not slightly colder. In
some applications, a gradual warming of product may occur,
particularly at the exposed top of the product. Stirring or
rotation of the product may be necessary to maintain overall
temperature. Warming of food product can occur very quickly
outside of the unit. When loading or rotating product, avoid
leaving food items in a non-refrigerated location to prevent
warming or spoilage.
When the cold pan is used with ice, use perforated bottoms.
These will allow ice to melt properly.
The unit must be turned off when not in use or overnight for
defrosting and cleaning.
When operating these units “wet”, never use
anything other than plain water in the wells
or tank. Failure to observe this warning may
result in personal injury or damage to the
unit.
When operated at the highest temperature
setting, the top of the unit will become
very hot. Staff and customers using the
equipment should be informed about this.
Steam can cause serious burns. Always
wear some type of protective covering on
your hands and arms when removing lids
from the unit. Lift the lid in a way that will
direct escaping steam away from your face
and body.
Dry Operation
Wet operation is usually much more efficient and is preferred.
However, these units may be operated without water with no
damage to the unit.
When operated dry, the bottom of the well will discolor. To
clean, use a stainless steel cleaner or mild abrasive.
The dry well should never be preheated longer
than 15 minutes.
When operated dry, the well bottoms become
very hot. Do not allow unprotected skin to
