The HQC45 QuickChiller is designed for rapid chilling of 45 pounds of food (9 pounds of food per pan
in five 12" x 20" x 21⁄2" pans or five 18" x 26" sheet pans) from 150°F to 37°F in approximately 90 minutes.
The rapid chilling process preserves food quality, texture and nutritional value for up to 5 days. As
many as 5 chill cycles can be handled per 8 hour shift. At the end of a chill cycle, the chiller
automatically goes into Hold mode at normal refrigerator temperatures, enabling overnight chilling.
The HQCF45 QuickChiller-Freezer is designed to chill exactly like the HQC45 and it can also freeze
product down to – 20°F. Freezing time varies according to the initial and final product temperatures
as well as product type and quantity. Coated wire shelves can accommodate five full-size 12" x 20"
1
⁄2" pans or five 18" x 26" sheet pans.

in ten 12" x 20" x 2
shelves can accommodate ten full-size 12" x 20" x 2
1
⁄2" pans) from 150°F to 37°F in approximately 90 minutes. Optional coated wire
1
⁄2" pans or five 18" x 26" x 21⁄2" pans.
Chill and Freeze times are dependent upon product type, thickness, density, thermal conductivity, and
type of covering. For best results, approximately 9 pounds of product per 12" x 20" x 2
1
⁄2" pan or
18" x 26" sheet pan is recommended. If more product per pan is being chilled, the time required to
chill will be increased.

INSTALLATION
Before installing, check the electrical service to make sure it agrees with the electrical specifications
on the rating plate located inside the cabinet.
UNCRATING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the chiller is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
DO NOT LAY THE CHILLER ON ITS FRONT, BACK OR SIDES. EXERCISE EXTREME CARE WHEN
REMOVING THE CRATE BOTTOM ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LAST SHIPPING BOLT IS REMOVED.
CABINET MUST BE PROPERLY BLOCKED AND STABLE.
Cabinet is bolted onto a wood shipping base from underneath using the Threaded Hole (Fig.1).
Remove shipping bolts.
LEGS OR CASTERS
The HQC45, HQCF45 and HQC90 must be installed with legs or casters.
WARNING: THE CABINET MUST BE BLOCKED AND STABLE BEFORE INSTALLING THE LEGS OR
CASTERS.
Legs (Optional)
To install the legs, raise up and block the cabinet a minimum of 7" from the floor and thread the legs
into the threaded holes on the bottom of the cabinet.
The chiller must be level to operate properly. Turn the adjustable feet in or out as required to level the
chiller front-to-back and side-to-side (Fig. 1).
Casters (Optional)
Casters may be supplied for use on self-contained units. The swivel casters with brake should be
installed in front; casters without brake, in rear (Fig. 2). Caster equipped chillers should be located on
a level floor.

PL-50909
LOCATION
Good air circulation at the condenser coil in the lower section is necessary to provide proper operation.
The cabinet may be located in any one of the following three ways to assure satisfactory performance.
• The unit can be situated so the lower back section is open to room air, allowing free air discharge.
No side clearance and no top clearance is required. This is the preferred situation and provides
the most effective cooling.
• The unit can be provided with no side clearance, two inches of clearance at the rear, and six inches
of clearance above.
• If the unit is situated with no back clearance and no top clearance, it is necessary to provide either
five inches of clearance on each side or ten inches of clearance on one side of the cabinet.
NOTE: Performance is enhanced when the air going into the condenser coil through the lower front
section is cool. For example, locating the chiller adjacent to an oven would not be recommended.
FEATURES
Shelves (Set of Five)
A set of five shelves is optional on HQC90. A set of five shelves is standard with HQC45 and HQCF45.
Shelf clips are packed with the shelves. For each shelf, insert two front shelf clips and two rear shelf
clips into the pilaster slots at the same height. After installing shelf clips on pilasters, place shelves
on clips.
Optional single shelves are available; up to eight shelves can be installed in the cabinet at one time.
Recommended Pans
1
Full size 12" x 20" x 2
⁄2" pans or 18" x 26" sheet pans are recommended. Pans are not included.

GLOSSARY
Alarms— Sets the buzzer intervals after Door is Open or when to be notified that the
Compressor needs to be Cleaned.
Buzzer— The control’s buzzer can have its volume and tone adjusted in the System Parameters.
By Temp— Chill cycle that terminates when the probes reach the Target Temperature.
By Time— Chill cycle that terminates after a set amount of time has lapsed.
By Prod— Chill cycle that terminates after a particular product’s specified chill parameters are
met (the parameters can be set either By Temp or By Time with specific cut-offs for
a particular product.
Chill— Chilling Cycle that may end with either Time or Temperature controlled events. (Also
see Soft Chill or Freeze).
Clock— Allows the Date and Time to be entered so the system’s clock correctly records
chilling events.
Cycle #— The system assigns a consecutive number to each Chill Cycle.
Defrost— System Controlled Defrost occurs after six hours of chilling. The defrost will not
begin during a chill cycle. The system waits until it is in Holding mode before starting
the defrost cycle. The Defrost from the Main Menu is a manual defrost that will not
run if selected and unneeded. The Defrost cycle requires about 20 minutes.
Fac Presets— Factory Presets are system parameters that are set at the factory but can be
changed by the supervisor.
Freeze— This mode is only available on model HQCF45. It allows the product to be frozen
down to a target temperature of 0°F (–18°C). The target temperature range available
for freeze mode varies from –22°F to 28°F.
Hold Prod— After a chill mode has been done or when selected from the Main Menu, the chiller
will act like a regular refrigerator (or freezer on model HQCF45).
Label— A condensed Chill Cycle Report that can be printed on adhesive-backed label stock
by the optional second label printer.
Logging— The time interval at which Chill Cycle data (temperature vs. time) is logged into
memory for record purposes. This time interval can be modified in Sys Par (System
Parameters) by the supervisor. The range of settings available for this time interval
is: 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes.
Main Menu— The two initial menus available from the controller after the chiller is turned on.
Mode— Basic chiller operating parameters are available from Sys Par in Setup mode.
Chill mode parameters allow adjustment of the target temperature, the air temperature
during chill mode, the hold mode temperature, the high alarm temperature, the low
alarm temperature and the maximum chill mode target temperature.
Soft Chill mode parameters apply a modification of some of the Chill settings during
the final portion of the chill cycle if Soft Chill is selected. Soft Chill provides additional
protection against freezing of surfaces.
Freeze mode parameters (only available on model HQCF45) provide separate
freeze settings that allow a direct hard freeze of product.
– 30 –
Oper— An Operator is a user who is allowed to operate the chiller and make reports of chill
cycles performed.
Print— Allows a report of any Chill Cycle and probe to be printed. Chillers equipped with
the optional second printer can print the condensed ‘Label’ type of report. All
Chillers can print the ‘Record’ type of report.
Probe #— Each probe is numbered and its temperature vs. time is recorded for each probe
# during every chill cycle and the record can be printed, either at the end of the chill
cycle or subsequently.
Product List— A list of products in system memory which can have individual chill parameters
specifically set for each product (assuming that the product is already enabled).
Refer to Setup Products.
Record— Type of report that can be printed by all chillers. This report provides a record of
time vs. temperature for a specific Probe and Chill Cycle.
Remote Alarm — The chiller can be wired to a remote alarm which will close the remote alarm circuit
in the event of one or more of the following situations: Printer Error, Cycle End,
Door Open, High or Low Temperatures or Power Failure. If Cycle Running is
chosen, the remote alarm circuit will close when a chill cycle is running and all other
remote alarm settings are overridden (reset to NO). The supervisor can determine
which events the remote alarm will signal by adjusting the settings in the Sys Par
(System Parameters) section.
Setup— Specific control settings that can be set by the supervisor which determine how the
chiller will operate.
Soft Chill— Type of chill process that moderates the temperatures and fan speed near the end
of the chill cycle to provide less risk of freezing at the product’s surface.
Supv— A Supervisor is a user who is allowed to identify the users and limit their access to
system parameters, enable products to be selected, set specific product chill
parameters and change system parameters.
Sys Par— System Parameters are control settings that determine how the chiller will operate.
These settings can be adjusted by the supervisor in Setup mode.
Temps in °C— If so displayed on the Sys Par 1 screen, all temperatures will be recorded in °C
(Celsius).
Temps in °F— If so displayed on the Sys Par 1 screen, all temperatures will be recorded in °F
(Fahrenheit).

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Wash, rinse and sanitize the product probes before and after use as you would any food-contact utensil
that measures temperature.
Chiller surfaces of stainless steel should be wiped clean with a damp cloth or mild cleaning solution.
DO NOT flush with running water. Avoid the use of solvents around plastic or painted areas; clean
these with a damp cloth moistened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Clean hinge
hardware with a chrome cleaner. Use a solution of warm water and baking soda to clean the gasket;
then wipe with a soft cloth. Hinges may require occasional lubrication of the plastic cam. Do not use
the top of the chiller for storage.
CONDENSER COIL
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF
THE UNIT.
The lower front compressor cover is attached with Velcro. Pull to remove.
Check the condenser coil weekly. Air must be able to freely circulate through the condenser. This
surface must be kept free of dirt and grease for proper system operation. Carefully clean dirt and lint
from the condenser coil using a vacuum cleaner, whisk broom or soft brush; do not use a wire brush.
CAUTION: Do not damage the condenser coil fins. Replace lower front compressor cover.
Reconnect electrical power supply.
EVAPORATOR COIL, CONDENSATE LOOP AND CONDENSATE REMOVAL PAN
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF
THE UNIT.
When needed, these components can be flushed with fresh water by a qualified service technician.
This should be part of any routine maintenance program and can prolong the life of the equipment.
Condensate removal is provided at the lower right portion of the
equipment cabinet and does not need a drain. Periodic cleaning
CONDENSER COIL
of the condensate removal pan (Fig. 6) may be needed. To
access the condensate removal pan, remove the lower front
EVAPORATOR
compressor cover which is attached with Velcro. Pull to
remove. Clean the condensate removal pan by wiping with a
clean damp cloth or sponge, using care with the condensate
loop inside. Replace compressor cover. Reconnect electrical
power supply.
