D.1. Blast Chilling Modes
AP40BC250-12, AP40BC250-2-12, BCCP-1, BCCP-2, and BCIP are equipped with a high versatility electronic
controller allowing the chef to choose between automatic and manual operation.
Automatic Mode
In the first part of the cycle the air temperature is lowered to a preset temperature (10
0
F). When the food core
temperature reaches a preset breaking temperature point (60
0
F) the unit will switch to the second part of the cycle which
is design to protect the food from getting frozen. The air temperature will rise to a preset temperature range (28
0
F to
35
0
F). The chilling cycle is complete when the food core temperature reaches the desired end temperature (40
0
F).
Manual Mode
In the manual mode the blast chilling operation will last for a preset time. In the first part of the manual cycle the
air temperature is lowered and held to a preset temperature (10
0
F). Once the time for the first part of the cycle expires the
unit will switch to the second part of the cycle. The air temperature is held at a preset temperature range (28
0
F to 35
0
F) for
the remaining time (1 hour).
Note: At the end of any blast chilling cycle the unit will automatically switch to a holding mode which will keep the food at
38
0
F until START/STOP button is pressed to end the cycle.
