Installation should be done by personnel
certified and licensed to install and maintain
electrical appliances.
Location
Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough
to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents.
Contents fully loaded into this product line can weigh as
much as 1500 lbs. Reinforce the floor as necessary to
provide for maximum loading.
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.
Electrical connection
Connections must be made in accordance with
all applicable local codes and/or the National
Electrical Code. Refer to the wiring diagrams on
pages 6 and 7.
INSTALLATION: 500 CH
OPERATION: 500 CH
For most efficient operation, keep covered insets empty in
each well during preheating and when the well is not in use.
Dry operation
1) Pre-heat the well on “HIGH” for approximately
15 minutes.
2) After pre-heating, set the control to your
desired serving temperature.
Only 6” (15.2cm) deep insets should be used with a dry
food well. When operated dry, the bottom of the food well
will discolor. Refer to cleaning instructions to remove
discoloration.

NOTE: Intended for DRY OPERATION ONLY.
CLEANING: ALL MODELS
Clean the food wells daily. Wash with non-abrasive cleanser
and non-abrasive pad. If necessary, a mild abrasive may be
used. Do not use steel wool.
For all stainless steel parts, use mild, non-abrasive soap
or detergent and warm water. This may be followed by an
application of stainless steel cleaner or polish which will
eliminate water spotting and fingerprints and will bring out
the finish of the stainless steel.
Do not use a hose or pressure wash on these
units. The water will damage the electrical
components.
Cleaning the condenser (refrigerated units)
In order to maintain proper refrigeration, the condenser
fins must be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease every three
months. If condenser is totally blocked after three months
increase cleaning frequency. Clean the condenser with a
vacuum cleaner or stiff brush. If extremely dirty, use a
commercially available condenser cleaner.
Cleaning the sliding door assembly
All Delfield 500 Series display cases feature a Pike sliding
door assembly. Regular cleaning of door tracks with mild
soap and water will keep them free of foreign matter
insuring many years of use. The glass may be cleaned with
a glass cleaner.
Before the unit is used the first time for serving, turn the
temperature knob to “10” and heat the well for 20 minutes.
Do not be alarmed if smoke appears; this preheat should
burn off any residue or dust on the heating element.
Hot surfaces can cause serious burns. Always
wear some type of protective covering on your
hands and arms when removing lids or pans
from the unit.
Never place food directly into the well. Always use pans.
Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent
food from drying out and to reduce your operating cost.
