DC-6D

Overview

The Master-Bilt DC-6D is a stand-alone commercial ice cream dipping cabinet for scoop service. Its top accommodates eight 3-gallon tubs for dipping, while the cabinet provides storage for five additional 3-gallon tubs. This arrangement keeps flavours ready at the serving well and gives operators reserve product close at hand. The published product capacity is also listed as 12.5 cubic feet.

A cold-wall evaporator cools the cabinet, and the refrigeration system is self-contained. The stated holding range is -10°F to 10°F. R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant circulates through the system. The DC-6D has a painted galvanized steel exterior, a galvanized steel interior and a stainless steel top.

Installation & Requirements

Allow at least 4 inches of clearance between the rear of the cabinet and the wall or equipment behind it. This clearance is specified for the DC-6D to support proper operation of its refrigeration system. The cabinet has adjustable legs for levelling. Electrical details provided for the model are 115 V, 60 Hz, single phase, a 9-foot cord and a NEMA 5-15P plug. The source lists differing amperage figures for the model, so confirm the unit’s nameplate or current manufacturer specification before final electrical planning.

Operation

Load the dipping well with up to eight 3-gallon tubs for service. The cabinet can hold up to five additional 3-gallon tubs in its storage compartment. The hinged, gasketed stainless steel lids provide access to the dipping area; close them when the well is not in use to help keep cold air inside. The stated temperature holding range is -10°F to 10°F. The cold-wall system and R290 refrigerant are specified for keeping the cabinet contents frozen; actual product condition should be checked during operation.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The product information identifies a floor drain and garden hose fitting as features that ease interior cleaning. The source does not provide a step-by-step cleaning procedure, cleaning chemical guidance or a maintenance schedule for the DC-6D, so follow the manufacturer’s current instructions for those tasks. Gasketed lids help seal the cabinet when closed, and the adjustable legs support levelling during setup.

Applications

The DC-6D suits commercial scoop-service settings that need a compact dipping display with reserve tubs close to the serving area. Examples include ice cream shops, dessert counters, concession operations and foodservice venues serving multiple flavours. Its eight-tub dipping capacity supports a range of choices at the point of service, while the five-tub storage compartment provides additional cabinet capacity.
