Installation, Operation, Use and Care of HQC45 QuickChill, HQCF45 QuickChill / Freezer, & HQC90 QuickChill SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL The HQC45 QuickChill 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 chillings can be handled per 8 hour shift.
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.
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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Line voltage supplied to the cabinet junction box must not be affected by the operation of other electrical equipment. Junction box is located at the rear of the lower section. The rear compressor cover is maintained in place with Velcro. Pull to remove it. WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

MAINTENANCE CLEANING Wash, rinse, and sanitize the product probes before and after use as you would any foodcontact 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.
