I N S TA L L AT I O N ELECTRICAL 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.
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 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ➤ 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. ➤ For optimum performance, allow the Quickchiller to prechill for a minimum of 30 minutes before loading pans of food. ➤ Never overload the Quickchiller.

O P E R AT I O N FOOD PROBE USE USER INFORMATION 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.
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.

CARE AND CLEANING 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.
CARE AND CLEANING INTERIOR CLEANING Remove the roll-in cart (trolley) from cart equipped models. Open the quickchiller door to warm the interior of the cabinet. 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. Wipe-down the interior door panel and clean the vinyl gaskets.
