Blast Chiller Quick Start Checklist
Starting a Chill Cycle - All Models
1) Load product into the blast chiller. Both full and partial loads are OK,
but for best results evenly distribute product throughout the interior
tray slides or roll-in rack.
2) Insert a food probe into the top, bottom and middle level pans. The
probe should be located in the center of the food pan, at about the
halfway point of the product depth.
3) Close the door.
4) Press the EZ Start button.
The Blast Chill Process - All Models
1) While in a blast chill cycle, cold air is rapidly being circulated around
the food pans in order to remove heat as rapidly as possible.
2) Actual chill times will vary depending on many product related factors
such as starting temperature, product density, cycle load, content, etc.
3) To insure food safety, the probes constantly monitor product core
temperature(s) throughout each chill cycle, as well as during any
holding period afterwards. Reports available at the end of each chill
cycle can then be used by the operator to confirm that both FDA
critical control points were met in accordance with the current food
code.
Concluding a Chill Cycle - All Models
1) Upon each probe reaching target temperature (37°F) an audible alarm
will sound for 30-seconds, and the probe number on the control
display will continuously flash “DONE.”
2) Press the button alongside the probe flashing “DONE” in order to
conclude that probe’s batch.
3) The control will now display the print menu.
3a. Press BOTH to receive both record and label printouts
3b. Press RECORD to receive only the record printout
3c. Press LABEL to receive only the label printout
3d. Press NONE if no printouts are desired.
NOTE: After printing has completed for either the RECORD, LABEL or
BOTH, the control will continue to display the print menu until NONE
is selected. This allows for multiple copies of each to be printed as
needed.
4) Repeat for any remaining probes as they complete in turn. Pressing
NONE after the final probe has completed returns the display to the
MAIN MENU.
5) Any probes used should be properly sanitized prior to use in another
batch.
