QC 11, QC 600 & BQCF 40 Blast Chill Operating Instructions.

Operation

When mains electrical power is first applied to the controller it will carry out a self-test function - - - for approximately 3 seconds, after this the cabinet air temperature will be displayed.

To start, select the program required by pressing the program mode button (1, 2, 3,4), the LED for that mode will

illuminate, press and hold start key for three seconds to start the program. The display will show the program time.

The compressor may pause before starting at the start of a cycle to prevent short cycling of the condensing system and is normal.

When the time or temperature is achieved the machine will go in to the Hold mode with the sounding of an alarm. To stop the cycle press and hold the start key for 2 seconds, the cycle will be terminated.

Manual Defrost.

When the blast chiller is in hold press the defrost key and hold for 2 seconds to start the defrost. When defrost is complete the machine will revert to the hold temperature.
