all the preceding guidelines for product loading and
batching in order to duplicate this performance

Once you have insured that product is properly loaded
into the pans and batched correctly, proceed to the
next section in order to correctly operate the SmartChill
controls chill feature modes.

Please note that in order to use this feature, one or
more of the food probes must first be placed into hot
product which is at least 40°F warmer than the interior
cabinet temperature
When using this feature the factory preset chill cycle
parameters are: Blast Chill, By Temperature, with a
product end-point of 37°F, and are not adjustable by
