How to Use & Adjust a Delfield 6000XL Temperature Control

Keeping refrigeration temperatures at the right point is essential for food safety and ensuring nothing can spoil. We can help you with ensuring your appliances are always at the right temperature. Below we will teach you how to use & adjust a Delfield 6000XL temperature control, so your equipment can stay in range. 

Adjusting the Temperature

You can adjust the temperature control for both refrigerator and freezer using the same method.  

  • Locate the control - The temperature control is located in the control box in the top of the appliance. Refrigerators are factory set to maintain a 38ºF temperature and freezers maintain a -3˚F temperature. 
  • Adjusting to colder temperature - To get a colder temperature, turn the control knob clockwise. 
  • Adjusting to warmer temperature -  To get a warmer temperature, turn the control knob counter-clockwise. 
  • Turn off system - Turn the knob fully counter-clockwise to turn the system off.
