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.

DRAINAGE:

QC-3 QC-20 QC-40

EVAPORATOR PANS: NO INSTALLATION REQUIRED

QC-50 QC-100

ONE (1) FLOOR DRAIN:

1/2" (12,7mm) DIAMETER

A 1/2" I.D. (12,7mm) PVC pipe is furnished with
each QC-50 and QC-100 model. Use PVC glue

to attach the pipe into the drain opening at the

rear of the unit. Insert the PVC pipe into the
drain opening with a 1/4" (6mm) clockwise turn.
Connect the PVC pipe to discharge through an

indirect waste pipe into an open-site drain by
means of a 2" (51mm) air gap. Connection must
be within 10' (3m) of the unit.

NOTE: In the U.S.A., this equipment is to

be installed to comply with the Basic
Plumbing Code of the Building Officials
and Co de Administrators International,
Inc. [BOCA], and the Food Service
Sanitation Manual of the Food & Drug
Administration [FDA].

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.

ELECTRICAL

INSTALLATION

This appliance must be branch circuit protected
with proper ampacities, in accordance with the
wiring diagram. The Quickchiller must be properly
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and applicable local codes. Wire size for the
main incoming power to the unit must match the
minimum size listed in the specifications applicable
to the specific Quickchiller model. For supply
connections, locate the wire size listed in this manual.

Before operating the chiller, check all cable connections
in the electrical connection area for tightness since
connections can loosen during transport.

NOTE: After electrical connections have been

completed, operate the appliance in any
chilling mode for a period of 15 minutes

TITLEOPERATION

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.
