NOTE: All cycles automatically go into Holding Mode when the selected temperature is reached and remain there until
the operator stops the cycle.
A.1.2.1. Soft Chill Cycle
(160°F to 40°F)
This cycle is recommended for "delicate", light, thin products or small piece sizes, such as vegetables, creams, sweets,
fish products and fried foods. Soft chilling lowers the food temperature quickly, but extremely delicately so as not to
damage the outside of the food.
This is the ideal cycle to chill any food quickly but delicately, even in haute cuisine.
A.1.2.2. Hard Chill Cycle
(160°F TO 40°F)
Hard chilling is suited for "dense" products and products with a high fat content, in large pieces or those products typically
more difficult to chill. Careful chilling control ensures that the end temperature of 40°F is reached at the core of the
product, with no danger of freezing and damaging the product, not even on its surface.
A.1.2.3. Holding Mode
(Hold 40
0
F)
At the end of any cycle the blast chiller will automatically enter the Holding Mode. The food will be held at a preset
temperature (40
0
F) until the user will unload and stop the unit.
A.1.2.4. Printer (Optional)
An optional strip recorder provides a record of the unit’s operating parameters during the cycle and the following holding
period. The information recorded includes date, time, cycle identification, product identification and product core
temperature at prescribed intervals.
A.1.2.5. PC Connection (Optional)
The unit can be programmed and operated from a remote PC via modem and software (Windows 95, 98, NT, XP).
Maximum distance is 4000 ft. Full instructions are supplied on a computer disc, which is furnished when the computer
connection is ordered.
