b. Batch was not programmed properly, was START pressed after programming batch? If

 

“YES” the display should return to TIME and TEMPERATURE.

 

c. System problem. Call for service.

 

 

2. Batch requires too much time to chill product down to

c. Product depth in pan exceeds 2-1/2”. Reduce pan load per guidelines on page 7.

maximum safe time.

d. Has pan been covered with a lid, plastic wrap or foil, and is this not in direct contact with

 

the product? Cover product correctly as per guidelines on page 7.

 

e. Perhaps the product loaded is of a high density. Allow additional chilling time.

 

f. Dirty condenser coil. Clean condenser as per instructions on page 6.

 

g. Evaporator coil iced. Allow to defrost (press DEFROST to initiate a manual defrost).

 

 

3. “Food Probe Failure” - ALARM will occur during a

Review new batch procedures on page 13.

 

b. Press the food probe button, if the display reads “---”, press “PRINT.” If a (-99°) F probe

 

temperature is displayed then there is an open circuit. Check the probe plug connection.

 

c. Press the food probe button, if the display reads “---”, press “PRINT.” If a 500° F probe

 

temperature is displayed then there is an open circuit. Check the probe plug connection.

 

d. Food probe was placed in excessively hot product. Product temperatures exceeding

 

210° F can result in the probe reporting false temperatures. Cool food probe and test again.

 

f. Food probe fails and will then operate correctly at a later time. Program a Blast Chill batch

 

using the suspect probe. Wiggle the food probe wire. If a second “Food Probe Failure”

 

occurs the food probe is defective. Replace with new food probe.

 

g. Damaged or defective food probe. Replace with new food probe.

 

 

4. “Refrigeration Failure” - ALARM with a printout

b. Too much product loaded. Adjust the load to not exceed capacity of the unit.

 

c. Dirty condenser coil. Clean condenser as per instructions on page 6.

 

d. Refrigeration system failure, unit will not cool after having been reset. Call service for

 

repair.

 

 

5. “Power Loss Notification” - Printout notes the time

6. Cannot program a new batch.

NOTE: Always press the “RESET” button twice to clear the old complete batch data from

 

memory before programming a new batch.

 

a. The LOCK feature may be activated. See page 13 to unlock the control.

 

b. Unit may be in a defrost cycle. Batch can be programmed at this time and will Auto Start

 

after the Defrost Cycle is complete.

 

c. Program chill cycle batch is in process, a new batch can be programmed after completion

 

of current batch.

 

d. A batch may have been only partially programmed. Press “RESET” twice to clear any

 

incomplete batch information.

 

 

7. Printer not printing.

a. Printer is out of paper. Replace printer paper roll as per instructions on page 6.

 

b. Printer ribbon is out of ink. Replace printer ribbon cartridge.

 

c. Printer paper may be installed incorrectly, allowing the paper to feed behind the printer

page 6.

 

d. Paper does not feed or jams behind the paper feed slot in the cover. Remove paper and

 

reinstall as per instructions on page 6.

 

 

8. No display on control.

a. Check power supply and circuit breaker.

 

b. Confirm unit is correctly plugged into a working power outlet.

 

c. System problem. Call for service.

 

 

9. Condensation on exterior surface.

Condensation on the exterior surface of the unit is perfectly normal during periods of high

 

humidity, otherwise refer below for other possible causes.

 

a. Check door alignment and gasket for proper seal.

 

b. On Roll-In/Roll-Thru models, check bottom door sweep for proper adjustment.
