3-3. BASIC OPERATION

The Henny Penny Blast Chillers can chill food products with a

 

core temperature of 149ºF (65ºC), down to 40ºF (4ºC) within 4

 

hours (room ambiant temperature may impact time it takes

 

to reach the desired temperature). But, for the above statements

 

to be accurate, the following conditions must be met:

 

a.

The food product must not be thicker than 1¾ to 2 inches

 

 

(40 to 50 mm.)

 

b.

Meats should be placed directly onto the racks, but prod-

 

 

ucts in pans should be covered if possible. The steam from

 

 

the product can form ice on the evaporator, which will

 

 

increase the chilling or freezing time.

 

c.

A minimum clearance of 1 inch (25 mm) between pans.

 

d.

The best dishes or pans to use are stainless steel or alumi-

 

 

num. Do not use polycarbonate (plastic) pans. The poly-

 

 

carbonate acts as an insulator around the food product and

 

 

makes it hard to chill.

 

e.

Do not exceed the product weight capacity specified by the

 

 

particular model of blast chiller. The BCC/BCR-140 has a 140

 

 

lbs.(65 kg) capacity, the BCC/BCR-175 has a 175 lb. (80 kg)

 

 

capacity, and the BCR-350 has a 350 lb. (160 kg.) capacity.

 

Start-up

 

1.

Load all the product at one time, so the door does not need

 

 

to be opened while in operation.

 

2.

If using the food probe, place probe into product that is

 

 

located on the left side, middle of the unit.

 

3.

Press the ON/OFF button to turn unit on. The fan and

 

 

compressor LEDs should come on after 25 seconds.

 

4.

Press the Temp button to select the chilling mode. (Chill mode

 

 

or freeze mode can be selected on BFR units).

NOTE

The chilling LEDs, and the timing or food probe LEDs, will stay on with the power switch turned to the OFF position.
