Upon receipt of the Alto-Shaam
®
Quickchiller, note
any crate markings for special instructions and
check for crate damage. IMMEDIATELY notify the
carrier if there appears to be damage to the
equipment. The chiller is shipped from the
factory, securely fastened to a single shipping
pallet and protected by an external wrapping.
Carefully remove all external wrappings and other
protective coverings. If all is in order, discard
crating materials.

Prior to moving the Quickchiller to the installation
site, check the dimensions of doors, passageways,
and ceiling heights in the areas through which the
cabinet must be moved. Also check the turning
radius if the cabinet must be moved around an
existing structure.
Note:
In certain instances, it may be necessary to
remove doors and door hardware to
negotiate tight spaces.
1.6.1
SITE SELECTION: Position the Quickchiller to
allow sufficient air ventilation through the
condensing unit(s). Rear of unit should be no
closer than 6" to any wall or structure.
Avoid installing the chiller immediately
adjacent to fryers, charbroilers, or any other
equipment producing grease laden air; heat
producing equipment such as ovens and
ranges; and steam discharging equipment such
as steamer ovens and kettles.
Allow sufficient front clearance for serviceability
and for easy maneuvering of food trolleys in and
out of the cabinet.
1 .6.2
. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS: Install the
Quickchiller on smooth and level floor surface.
Use the adjustable cabinet legs to level the unit.
Adjust from front-to-back and from side-to-side
to evenly distribute the cabinet weight and
avoid pulling the cabinet alignment out of
square.
After leveling the cabinet, check the height
relationship of the roll-in cart to the cabinet.
Adjust Quickchiller height as needed.
1.6.3
DOOR SEAL: Check the door gasket to make
certain it is sealing properly and that the
gasket provides an even and positive seal
around the entire door frame.
1.6.4
DRAIN HOSE: A single drain hose and floor
drain are required.
1.6.5
REMOTE CONDENSING UNIT GUIDELINES
Installation must be performed by certified
and authorized refrigeration service personnel
or warranty is void.
Interconnecting liquid and suction line sizes for
Quickchillers are as follows:
Separation distance between the Quickchiller and
condensing units must not exceed fifty (50) feet
with zero (0) lift. Liquid line lift (Quickchiller
elevation above that of condensing unit) reduces
allowable separation distance significantly.
Satisfactory refrigerating capacity is possible with
condenser entering air temperatures below 115°F.
Insulate both suction and liquid lines.
Suction lines should be pitched down 1/2" in 10' of
run in the direction of flow. A "P" trap (closely)
connected) is required for vertical risers greater
than 3 feet in elevation.
