INSTALLATION

DANGER

IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ALTERATION, ADJUSTMENT, SERVICE, OR MAINTENANCE COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE.

READ THE INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.

Position the Quickchiller to allow sufficient air ventilation through the condensing unit(s). The rear of unit should be no closer than 6" (152mm) 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. Do not locate the Quickchiller in direct sunlight.

Allow sufficient front clearance for serviceability and for easy maneuvering of food trolleys in and out of the cabinet.

INSTALLATION

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. The use of a fork lift or pallet lift truck is required for moving and leveling most Quickchiller models.

NOTE: In certain instances, it may be necessary

to remove doors and door hardware to negotiate tight spaces.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

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).

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.

TROLLEY GUIDE INSTALLATION

Trolley Guide Installation

1. Align each guide rail with the holes located under the cabinet.

2. Loosely fasten each guide rail with a washer, lock washer and bolt.

3. Push the roll-in cart (trolley) into the Quickchiller, center the cart right-to-left, and close the door.

4. Slide both guide rails toward the center of the

Quickchiller until they make contact with the roll-in cart. Lock the guide rails into position by tightening the bolts. At the front of the Quickchiller, make certain contact has been made between the Quickchiller and the cart along the total width of the door to create a complete seal. When a full seal has been determined, recheck each connection to make certain it has been fully tightened.

OPERATING INTRODUCTION

The Alto-Shaam® Quickchiller™ is a processing refrigeration system designed to rapidly and uniformly decrease the temperature of hot foods to either a chilled or frozen state. 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. TRADITIONAL COOK-SERVE KITCHENS —

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. MODIFIED COOK-CHILL OPERATIONS—

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. FULL COOK-CHILL OPERATIONS —

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.

CHILL PROCESSING 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.

CAUTION

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.

QUICKCHILLER OPERATION MODES

➤ PROCESSING 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 maintains the temperature to safely hold foods after processing. The holding cycle will also maintain a holding compartment temperature between processing cycles.

INITIAL QUICKCHILLER 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 Prechill Sealing Strip (Item #5008856) may also be used for this purpose.

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 of the Quickchiller,

always allow the unit to defrost whenever the “DEFROST OVERDUE” 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.

➤ 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 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).

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 “DEFROST OVERDUE” and the control will produce an audible signal every ten seconds until a defrost is conducted.

POWER OUTAGE

“POWER WAS OFF” 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 4 hours. After a period of 24 hours, accumulated time will be shown as greater than 24 hours, i.e., >24.

Press the PROGRAM key to clear the display and stop the audible signal.

DOOR

If the Quickchiller door is opened during any running chill or freeze cycle, the fans will disengage. When the door is closed, the fans will reengage and the chiller will resume operation. When the door is opened, the display will reverse. When the unit is in operation and not in the “off mode”, a “DOOR OPEN” message will appear on the display along with the normal chill data. If the door is open for more than 2 minutes, then the beeper will sound every 10 seconds.
