SAFETY PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS Knowledge of proper procedures is essential to the safe operation of electrically and/or gas energized equipment. In accordance with generally accepted product safety labeling guidelines for potential hazards, the following signal words and symbols may be used throughout this manual. DANGER Used to indicate the presence of a hazard that WILL cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the warning included with this symbol is ignored.
I N S TA L L AT I O N S I T E I N S TA L L AT I O N I N S TA L L AT I O N SITE SELECTION 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.
I N S TA L L AT I O N S I T E I N S TA L L AT I O N 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. I N S TA L L AT I O N R E Q U I R E M E N T S 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.

O P E R AT I O N O P E R AT I N G I N T R O D U C T I O N 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.
O P E R AT I O N CHILL PROCESSING 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.
O P E R AT I O N CAUTION NEVER STACK PANS DIRECTLY ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. STACKED PANS WILL RESTRICT AIR FLOW AND INCREASE CHILL PROCESSING TIME. ➤ Clean the Quickchiller and probes prior to use and make certain all processing modes are operating properly before chilling or freezing foods. ➤ To maintain proper operation of the Quickchiller, always allow the unit to defrost whenever the “DEFROST OVERDUE” warning appears in the display.
O P E R AT I O N “DOOR OPEN” will appear in the display whenever the unit is in operation and the door is opened. When the date and time (only) is showing in the display, this message will not appear when the door is opened. If the Quickchiller door is opened during any running chill or freeze cycle, the fans will disengage and the compressor will cycle down. When the door is closed, the fans and compressor will reengage and the chiller will begin operating at the point of interruption.

O P E R AT I O N FOOD PROBE USE Unpacking Food Probes 1. Cut and remove the plastic ties keeping the probe cables coiled during shipment. When removing the ties, exercise caution to avoid accidentally cutting the black plastic covers on the probe cable wires. 2. Uncoil the probe cables and insert the metal portion of each probe into the bracket mounted on the inside of the cabinet. Proper probe placement is in the following sequence: Place the top probe (Product Probe 1) in the top bracket.
O P E R AT I O N FOOD HANDLING GUIDELINES PRODUCT COVERING To maintain sanitation control when loading the Quickchiller, foods should be above 140°F (60°C) and should be tightly covered. A tight cover is an important part of proper chilling methods and must be used to prevent the possibility of accidental contamination by airborne bacteria. Stainless steel pan covers may be used. Stainless steel covered pans must include a label indicating pan contents and use-by date.
O P E R AT I O N Q U I C K C H I L L E R PA N C A PA C I T Y: The following Quickchiller Capacity Chart indicates the number of pans that can be accommodated in the appropriate size chiller for the chilling or freezing function. Additional pans can be accommodated only when using the Quickchiller for holding at a refrigerated temperature or at a maintenance temperature for frozen food.

S A N I TAT I O N CLEANING AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROTECTING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES It is important to guard against corrosion in the care of stainless steel surfaces. Harsh, corrosive, or inappropriate chemicals can completely destroy the protective surface layer of stainless steel. Abrasive pads, steel wool, or metal implements will abrade surfaces causing damage to this protective coating and will eventually result in areas of corrosion.
S A N I TAT I O N INTERIOR CLEANING Remove the roll-in cart (trolley) from cart equipped models. Open the quickchiller door to warm the interior of the cabinet. DANGER DISCONNECT UNIT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING. 1. Remove any loose food debris with a cleaning cloth or small hand broom. 2. Use a mild, non-abrasive detergent and warm water. Wipe-down the interior of the cabinet, removing all food residue. This includes the ceiling, floor, walls and fan panel.
S A N I TAT I O N EXTERIOR CLEANING 1. 2. Wipe all exterior surfaces including the control panel, door frame, latches, and hinges with a damp cloth containing a mild, non-abrasive, nonchloride detergent solution. Rinse detergent solution with a cloth and warm water. Allow exterior to air dry. DANGER AT NO TIME SHOULD THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR BE STEAM CLEANED, HOSED DOWN, OR FLOODED WITH WATER OR LIQUID SOLUTION OF ANY KIND. DO NOT USE WATER JET TO CLEAN. 3.
SERVICE C O N T R O L E R R O R D I S P L AY S CONTROL DISPLAY ACTION REQUIRED Real Time Clock Bad Call service for replacement of defective control. NOTE: Using Default Calibration Values — If the Quickchiller has been unplugged for an extended period of time, the Real Time Clock may only require recharging. Disconnect the unit from the power source. Plug the unit back into the proper receptacle and wait for a minimum of 30 minutes. If the error message remains in the display, repeat this procedure.
