I N S TA LL A T I O N
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.
NOT E : In certain instances, it may be necessary to
remove doors and door hardware to

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. TR A D ITIONAL COOK-SERV E KI T C H ENS —
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. MO D I FIED C OOK-CHILL OPERATI O N S—
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. FU L L CO O K - 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.

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.
CHILL PRO CESSING 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.
QUICKCHIL LER O PERATION MODES
PRO C E SSING WITH THE U S E O F PRO B E S
➤
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 QUICKCHILL ER OP ERATION
PR E C H ILLING 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 Se aling Strip (Item #5008856) may also be
used for this purpose.

ADDITION A L INF ORMATION
➤ Clean the Quickchiller and probes prior to use
nd make certain all processing modes are
a
operating properly before chilling or freezing
foods.
➤ To maintain proper operation of the Quickchiller,
always allow the unit to defrost whenever the
“D EFROST 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 OPER ATION
During the initial cooling of the Quickchiller, an
vaporator fan delay system will prevent the chilling
e
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.
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
“D EFROST OVERDUE” and the control will
produce an audible signal every ten seconds until a
defrost is conducted.
POWER OUTAG E
“P OWER WA S 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 “DOOROPE N ” 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.
