air-o-chill®

Hard Chilling

Remember that the air temperature inside the cavity will be approx. minus 20 °C

Hard Chilling - This cycle is used for more solid or firm foods e.g.

•vegetables grown below the ground

•soups

•stocks and sauces

•stews and casseroles

•whole joints of meat and poultry – don’t put in joints larger than approx.

4-5 kg as it is difficult for the cold air to penetrate into centre unless it is long strip like loin etc.

When chilling liquid based products, use the 2 1/2” (65 mm) deep s/steel pans and fill to 3/4 for ease of handling when hot.

For optimum results use the 2” (40 mm) deep pans. Allow a space between each pan of approx. 1-1 1/2” (25/30 mm) for chilled air circulation.

Some foods, e.g. stews, curry etc. are chilled faster if during the chilling cycle they are gently stirred to blend in the cold food around edge of pan.

Using the core temperature probe. Try to use the core temperature probe as this will monitor the internal temperature of the food being chilled.

When the hot food has been placed inside the air-o-chill®, insert the probe before starting the cycle.

The air-o-chill®will know when the probe is being used due to the difference in temperature between the probe and internal-cavity-temperature sensor.

When the probe is being used the display will show the internal temperature of the food and when it has chilled to approx. 3 °C the chilling cycle will end.

After the cycle has ended the air-o-chill®will automatically start a defrost cycle, then go to “holding temperature” of 3 °C.

After the defrosting cycle has ended the air-o-chill®will operate as a normal chiller at 3 °C, e.g. if you load it with cooked product at end of day, the appliance will hold the food at 3 °C until operator removes it next morning.

When finished with air-o-chill®always clean cavity with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, rinse clean and sterilize using a wet cloth and white vinegar or an approved anti-bacterial cleaner.

Leave door ajar (slightly open) using either the plug or a clean, unused piece of sponge foam as a spacer. Remember to empty and wash drip pan under appliance.
