When removing the ties,
exercise caution to avoid accidentally

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. On equipped models, place the center
probe (Product Probe 2) in the middle bracket,
and place the bottom probe (Product Probe 3) in
the bottom bracket position.
3. Before using the probes, wipe each probe and
probe tip with a disposable alcohol pad to clean
and sanitize.
Probe Cleaning Procedures
1. Remove all food residues from probes between
loads and at the end of each production shift.
Wipe the entire probe, cable assembly, and
probe holding bracket with warm detergent
solution and a clean cloth.
2. Remove detergent by wiping each probe, probe
cable, and holding bracket with clean rinse
water and a cloth.
3. Wipe probes and probe brackets with
disposable alcohol pad or sanitizing solution
recommended for food contact surfaces.
4. Replace the probe into the proper probe bracket.
Allow the probe and cable to air dry.
5. Wipe the each probe with a disposable alcohol
pad prior to inserting the probe into a new
food product.
Daily Prong Cleaning

of each production shift. Wipe the entire prong
casing, and between each prong with a warm
detergent solution and a clean cloth.
2. Remove detergent by wiping with clean rinse

USER INFORMATION
Time & Temperature Guidelines
To assure quality and safety in chilled processed
food handling, it is important to observe the
following guidelines.
1. All foods should be covered prior to chill or
freeze processing.
2. The temperature of foods should be rapidly
reduced from 140°F to 40°F (60°C to 4°C)
within a period of 4 hours.
3. Foods can be safely removed from the chiller
cabinet at a product temperature of 40°F (4°C)
or lower.
4. Chilled foods should be stored under
refrigeration designed to hold products at
34° to 38°F (1° to 3°C) for a maximum of 5 days
or less. A 5-day shelf life includes the day of
production and the day of consumption.
5. All potentially hazardous cooked foods that
have been chilled followed by reheating and hot
food holding must be reheated to a minimum
core temperature of 165°F (74°C) for 15 seconds
prior to serving. Refer to local food codes for
possible exceptions.
6. Always reference and adhere to local food
codes and HACCP guidelines with regard to
time and temperature for chilling or frozen
food processing.
Automatic Defrost
The Quickchiller will only trigger an automatic
defrost cycle during the refrigerated
mode. If the chiller is in any other mode when
the Fan Timer limit plus one additional hour
has elapsed, the display will indicate a warning
message “DEFROST OVERDUE” and beep every 10
seconds until a defrost is conducted. A defrost
can be initiated manually as indicated under
User Settings in this manual, or by allowing the
Quickchiller to enter the mode.
ALLOW A MINIMUM
OF 30 MINUTES OF
PRECHILL TIME BEFORE
PROCESSING.
