Installation

WARNING

Improper installation, alteration, adjustment, service, cleaning, or maintenance could result in property damage, severe injury, or death.

Read and understand the installation, operating and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing, servicing, or operating this equipment.

CAUTION

Appliance and accessories may be heavy. To prevent serious injury, always use a su icient number of trained and experienced workers when moving or

leveling appliance and handling accessories.

Position the Quickchiller to allow sufficient air ventilation through the condensing unit(s).

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

install 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.

NOTICE: In certain instances, it may be necessary to remove doors and door hardware to negotiate tight spaces.

Installation

Installation Requirements

The model QC3-3 is a counter mounted Quickchiller and must use legs that allow for a 4" (102mm) clearance between the cabinet and the counter.

For all other

models, install

the Quickchiller 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 to evenly distribute the cabinet weight and avoid pulling the cabinet alignment out of square.

After leveling the cabinet, check that the door handle is aligned properly. Also check the height relationship of the optional roll-in cart to the cabinet. Adjust the Quickchiller height as needed to accommodate the cart and to securely close the Quickchiller door.

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.

Refrigeration (QC3-100R Remote)

Alto-Shaam does not offer recommendations on maximum run sizes. Best refrigeration piping practices should always be followed and piping for any longer runs is the responsibility of the installer.

CAUTION

Appliance and accessories may be heavy. To prevent serious injury, always use a su icient number of trained and experienced workers when moving or

leveling appliance and handling accessories.

Operation

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 Quickchiller is maintaining a holding temperature mode, the chiller control will initiate an automatic defrost cycle when required.
