MAIN START
The main menu should be displayed on the control. To begin a chill cycle BY TEMPERATURE follow the below instructions:
STEP ONE: Press the button to the left of where BY TEMPERATURE is shown on the display. The menu will then change to show TYPE : CHILL.
STEP TWO: Select the TYPE by pressing the button to the left of where by TYPE is shown on the display. The display will change between CHILL (blast chill mode), SOFT (soft chill mode) and FREEZE (freeze chill mode).
STEP THREE: Adjust the TARGET TEMPERATURE if you wish to deviate from the factory preset temperatures (see chart below). This is done by pressing the buttons to the left and right of the UP and DOWN arrows.

STEP FOUR: Insert the food probes into the food product as shown in section VI. a.
NOTE: The SmartProbes sense the product temperature and are automatically selected (if product temperature is 75°F or higher). If probes are not sensed, probes have to be enabled using the SELECT PROBE menu.

STEP FIVE: Close the door. You are now ready to begin chilling. If you are satisfied with the selections made in steps 1 thru 3, press the button to the right of where START is shown on the display. The chill time will display in the lower left corner of the display: Hr: Min: Sec: (hours:minutes:seconds).
NOTE: You can return to the MAIN MENU at any time by pushing the button to the left of where MAIN is shown on the display.
When a programmed batch has reached completion the alarm will activate, providing an audible notification (buzzer). This can be turned OFF by pressing the button to the right of where MUTE is shown on the display.
(This step is repeated as each probe reaches the target temperatures; see page 14).
NOTE: After completion of all batches the unit will return to normal refrigerated holding temperatures (37°F). Product which was either BLAST or SOFT chilled may remain in the blast chiller. However, if a FREEZE CHILL cycle was completed product must be removed immediately upon batch completion.
