The model QC-3 is a counter mounted unit and
must be sealed to the counter with a NSF listed
silicone sealant.

For all other
models, install
the appliance
on a smooth and level floor
surface. Use the adjustable cabinet legs to level
the Quickchiller.

Adjust from front-to-back and from side-to-side
with the use of a spirit level to evenly distribute
the cabinet weight and avoid pulling the cabinet
alignment out of square.

After leveling the cabinet of cart equipped models,
check the height relationship of the roll-in cart to
the cabinet. Adjust the Quickchiller height as
needed to accommodate the cart and to securely
close the Quickchiller door(s).

D O O R S E A L :

Check the door gasket to make certain it is sealing

roperly and that the gasket provides an even and

The Alto-Shaam® Quickchiller™is a processing refrigeration

ystem designed to rapidly and uniformly decrease the

s

emperature of hot foods to either a chilled or frozen state.

t
This process provides enhanced safety, longer storage life and
better production efficiency.

Rapid reduction in the temperature of hot foods inhibits the
growth of bacteria and provides a safe, five-day chilled food
refrigerated storage period from the time of preparation to the
time of service. Enhanced storage time offers the food service
operation considerable production efficiency. As an example, a
daily menu item can be reduced from daily preparation to a
preparation schedule consisting of two days per week.

The Alto-Shaam Quickchiller can be effectively utilized in
several types of food service programs:

1. T RAD ITI ONA L COO K-S ERV E KIT CHE NS —

Quick chilling can be used to help streamline production in operations where foods are prepared for
immediate service. Preparation of labor intensive entrées can be scheduled for production several
days before service. Chilling foods provides the ability to rethermalize these items at a later date
while maintaining both safety and product quality.

2. M ODI FIE D COO K-C HIL L OPE RATI ONS —

where a significant portion of food is cooked for immediate service and a smaller portion of more labor
intensive, hot food items are prepared in advance, chilled and reheated when required for service.

3. F ULL C OOK -CH ILL O PER ATIO NS —

where all hot food production is prepared in advance of service requirements and held in refrigerated
prepared food inventories. Hot food preparation takes place over a five-day production schedule.

The Quickchiller cooling or freezing process is
accomplished with the utilization of large
compressors and fans that are electronically
controlled through the parameters entered by the
operator on the control panel located at the front
of the cabinet. The Quickchiller provides the
operator with the ability to chill food products to
a set cavity temperature by time or by internal
product temperature using one or more food
probes. When the specified chill time has elapsed
or the probe temperature(s) has been reached the

Quickchiller will convert to a holding mode at a
temperature specified for either refrigeration or
frozen product maintenance. The Quickchiller
control maintains a record of the length operating
time used for each current cycle. After the chill
cycle has ended and the unit is maintaining a
holding temperature mode, the chiller control will
initiate an automatic defrost cycle when required.

O P E R A T I O N

C A U T I O N

TO MAINTAIN SANITATION
CONTROL, ALL FOODS FOR
QUICK-CHILL OR QUICK-FREEZE
PROCESSING MUST BE AT A
TEMPERATURE ABOVE 140°F (60°C)
AND MUST BE TIGHTLY COVERED.

CHI LL PROC ESSIN G CYCLES

The Alto-Shaam Quickchiller uses high velocity
cold air circulation to remove heat from prepared
foods for the purpose of rapidly reducing
temperatures through the danger zone and
providing maximum storage life. Cold air is evenly
directed across each pan from the control side of
every Quickchiller model to assure rapid cooling.

The high velocity cold air produced by the
Quickchiller removes insulating layers of warm
moist air that surrounds hot products. The rapid
removal of these insulating layers of heat reduces
food temperatures significantly faster than any
other method of temperature reduction and
provides enhanced food safety.

Because the basic performance of the
Quickchiller relies on high velocity air movement
around each container of food, it is important to
load the food by placing pans directly into the pan
slides. Always use the pan slides to support the
edges of 12" x 20" steam table pans (GN 1/1). Use
a wire shelf for pan support when using 18" x 26"
sheet pans; 12" x 10" steam table pans (GN 1/2);
loaf pans; entree plates; and other small containers.

QUI CKCHI LLER OP ERATION MODES

PR OCESSING WITH THE USE OF PROBES

➤

Probe usage provides chill or frozen food
processing activation and termination through
use of a food probe or probes inserted into the
center of the food. The cycle is automatically
terminated when the center of the food reaches
the probe sensing temperature set by the
operator. In units with multiple probes, all
probes much reach the sensing temperature set
by the operator to trigger automatic termination
of the cycle.

➤ PROCESSING BY TIME

The time mode provides processing activation
and termination based on a timed cycle selected
by the operator. Upon expiration of the timed
cycle, the cabinet automatically reverts to the
designated holding cycle temperature.

➤ HOLDING

Following processing completion, a holding
cycle provides a temperature of 38°F (3°C) for
refrigerated storage or a frozen food storage
temperature of -1°F to 10°F (-18°C to -12°C) to
safely hold foods after processing. The holding
cycle will also maintain a holding compartment
temperature between processing cycles.

INI TIAL QU ICKCH ILLER OPERATION

PRECHILLING THE CABINET

The Quickchiller should be prechilled prior to
placing hot foods into the cabinet. In models
equipped with a roll-in cart (trolley), always
maintain an empty food cart inside the chiller
when prechilling to eliminates air loss through the
bottom of the chiller cabinet door. An optional
Prech ill Sealing Strip (Item #5008856) may also be
used for this purpose.

➤ To maintain proper operation of the

Quickchiller, always allow the unit to defrost

whenever the “D EFR OST O VER DUE ”

warning appears in the display.

➤ 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.

NOTE:

THE PROCEDURE TO SET THE CORRECT DATE AND TIME IS ADDRESSED IN THE PROGRAM OPTIONS SECTION OF THIS MANUAL.

➤ Cook foods properly in preparation for blast

chilling or freezing.

➤ Foods should be portioned into shallow pans to

a depth not to exceed 2-inches (51mm).

➤ Pans must be covered prior to the chilling or

freezing process.

➤ 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

“D OOR O PEN ” will appear in the display whenever the unit is in operation and the door is opened.

When the date and time (only) is showing in the display, this message will not appear when the door is

opened. If the Quickchiller door is opened during any running chill or freeze cycle, the fans will

disengage and the compressor will cycle down. When the door is closed, the fans and compressor will

reengage and the chiller will begin operating at the point of interruption.

The Quickchiller will only trigger an automatic defrost cycle during the refrigerated Hold Temp mode.

If the chiller is in any other mode when the 6-hour Fan Timer limit plus one additional hour has elapsed, the

display will indicate a warning message “DE FRO ST OVERDUE” and the control will produce an audible

signal every 10 seconds until a defrost is conducted.

The audible signal can be silenced by pressing the PROGRA M key.

“P OWE R WAS OF F” will appear in the display whenever operation is interrupted by a power outage. The

control will produce an audible signal every 10 seconds and the display will indicate the amount of time the

power was off. If consecutive power outages occur before the first outage has been acknowledged, the

control will accumulate the total amount of outage time up to a period of 23 hours. After a period of 24

Press the PROGRAM key START/STOP key, or POWER key to clear the display and stop the audible signal.

NOTE: If the Quickchiller door is opened during any running chill or freeze cycle, the fans will disengage

and the compressor will cycle down. When the door is closed, the fans and compressor will
