Operation
Additional Information
➤
Clean the Quickchiller and probes prior to use and
make certain all processing modes are operating
properly before chilling or freezing foods.
➤
To maintain proper operation, allow the Quickchiller to
defrost every 4-10 hours.
➤
For optimum performance, allow the Quickchiller to
prechill for a minimum of 30 minutes before loading
pans of food.
➤
Never overload the Quickchiller.
➤
It is important to be familiar with and adhere to all
local food codes.
➤
Cook foods properly in preparation for blast chilling or
freezing.
➤
Foods should be portioned into shallow pans to a depth
not to exceed 2" (51mm).
➤
Pans must be covered prior to the chilling or freezing
process to prevent food from drying out.
➤
Always follow the recommended shelf life for chilled
food products. Hold chilled foods under refrigeration
for a maximum of 5 days including the day of
production and the day of consumption.
➤
According to U.S. food code regulations, all chilled
products must be reheated to an internal temperature
of 165°F (74°C) prior to serving.
Fan Operation
During the initial cooling of the Quickchiller, an
evaporator fan delay system will prevent the chilling fans
from engaging until the evaporator coil temperature is
below 30°F (-1°C). The fans will continue to run until the
evaporator coil temperature is above 60°F (16°C).
Defrost
The Quickchiller will trigger an automatic defrost cycle
if the defrost period has timed out, and Quickchiller is in
Hold mode, has transitioned from Chill to Hold mode, or
is in Chill mode and defrost is more than 1 hour overdue
and all probes are below 35°F (2°C). If defrost if more
than 1 hour overdue, but probes are above 35°F (2°C), the
display will indicate an
E-77
error code and the control will
produce an audible signal every ten seconds until a defrost
is conducted.
NOTE
Adequate spacing must be allowed between pans for
proper air circulation for both processing and subsequent
holding. Stacked pans will restrict air flow and increase
chill processing time.
