A. Introduction 

 
The Models AP40BC250-12, AP40BC250-2-12, BCCP-1, BCCP-2, and BCIP Blast Chillers are used to rapidly 

chill cooked foods to temperatures suitable for storage in a refrigerator. Blast chillers are sophisticated refrigeration 
machines capable of lowering the core temperature of most foods from 160°F to 38°F in less than two hours. Blast chilling 
operations employ high velocity cooled air flow to assure even cooling of the entire food product, and to quickly bring the 
food temperature through the danger zone in which bacteria multiply rapidly. This is done in accordance with HACCP, 
FDA and all state regulations. A dual temperature chilling cycle allows use of standard recipes without modification. 

 

A.1. Controller Features 

 
A solid state electronic controller, conveniently mounted on the front panel of the unit, is used to program and to 

operate the unit. Full controller instructions follow, covering: 

 

initial set-up (done at time of installation) 

 

programming of the cycles (done before operation and changed only if foods or conditions are 
changed) 

 

operator selection from several available choices of operating mode 

 operation 

The versatility of the controller allows the operator to choose from the following modes and cycles: 
 

1. AUTOMATIC MODE

, the preferred mode, in which all the food probes are active and take part in controlling the 

chilling process. The cycle will never proceed to its next step until all the probes have reached their set temperatures. The 
operator needs only to select the recipe number of the food to be controlled by each probe (up to 150 recipes can be 
programmed), then insert each probe into its food. When all the probes have reached their programmed temperatures, the 
unit will automatically switch into holding mode.  

2. MANUAL MODE

, in which operating time is manually set by the operator for a particular meal. Air temperature 

is controlled by the air probes. The food probes, if they have been inserted into the food, will provide temperature readouts 
only. Manual mode will also switch automatically into the holding mode at the end of the cycle. 

 

3. DEFROST CYCLE,

 used to defrost the unit if there has been a build-up of ice. 

4. UV CYCLE (OPTIONAL),

 for sanitizing the unit. 

 

5. PRINTER (OPTIONAL),

 which may be programmed to print or not print during the chilling cycles. If the printer 

is selected, printing starts automatically at the beginning of each chill cycle. All the operating parameters (starts and stops 
of the chilling cycle, dates and times, air and food temperatures) are printed, and then repeated in accordance with the 
programmed printer cycle time. If the printer is not selected, the readings will be stored for printing at a later time (up to 
250 events, corresponding to one week of normal usage, can be stored). Refer to the instructions in this manual, as well 
as in the printer’s manual, for more details.  

NOTE:

 Be certain to complete and return the printer’s warranty card. Also retain the ribbon & paper order form for 

use when needed.
