Compact Refrigerators and Freezers Service and Installation Manual
Installation
Location
Units represented in this manual 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. 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.
Inside cabinet: Do not pack refrigerator so full that air cannot circulate.
Outside cabinet: Be sure that the unit has access to ample air. On all 400 and 4000 Series equipment, (for 4500 Series equipment door and drawer models see below), a minimum space of 3” (7.6cm) at the back of the unit and 1” (2.5cm) at the top and sides is required to conform to Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. On undercounter units it is imperative that the proper air flow be maintained. The refrigeration system is designed so air will flow under the unit, over the compressor/condenser area, and out at the top rear of the unit. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens.
4500 Series equipment door and drawer models: These units have Delfield’s
Any restriction of the proper air flow outlined above, total or partial, will void the warranty on the unit.
Leveling
A level cabinet will perform better because the drain pan will drain properly, the drawers or doors will line up with the frames and the cabinet will not be subject to undue strain.
All four legs are adjustable. Adjust each leg until the unit is stable and level left to right. If necessary adjusting the front legs slightly higher than the rear by about 1/8” (0.3cm) will help the door or drawers remain closed.
If the unit is supplied with casters, no adjustments are available. Ensure the floor where the unit is to be located is level.
Never stand on the unit or its drawers! Doing so may result in bodily injury. They are not designed to hold the weight of an adult and will collapse if misused in this manner.
Stabilizing
Some models are supplied on casters for your convenience, for ease of cleaning underneath and 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 and operator’s responsibility.
Plumbing
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 CAUTION responsibility to provide a container or outlet for
drainage.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, 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.
A 7’ (2.1 m) long grounded supply cord and plug are provided with standard units. Simply plug the unit in to begin operation.
The thermostat must be turned to OFF and the unit disconnected from the power source whenever performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
