SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The HQC45 QuickChill is designed for rapid chilling of 45 pounds of food (9 pounds of food per pan in five 12" x 20" x 21⁄2" pans or five 18" x 26" sheet pans) from 150°F to 37°F in approximately 90 minutes. The rapid chilling process preserves food quality, texture and nutritional value for up to 5 days. As many as 5 chillings can be handled per 8 hour shift. The Automatic Chill/Hold mode can be used for overnight chilling.
The HQCF45 QuickChill / Freezer is designed to chill exactly like the HQC45 and it can also freeze product down to – 20°F. Freezing time varies according to the initial and final product temperatures as well as product type and quantity. Coated wire shelves can accommodate five
The HQC90 QuickChill is designed for rapid chilling of 90 pounds of food (9 pounds of food per pan in ten 12" x 20" x 21⁄2" pans) from 150°F to 37°F in approximately 90 minutes. Optional coated wire shelves can accommodate ten
Chill and Freeze times are dependent upon product type, thickness, density, thermal conductivity, and type of covering. For best results, approximately 9 pounds of product per 12" x 20" x 21⁄2" pan or 18" x 26" sheet pan is recommended. If more product per pan is being chilled, the time required to chill will be increased.
Cabinets are provided with a junction box in the lower section which allows for permanent,
The durable stainless steel interior has coved corners for ease of cleaning. The exterior sides, front, and back are stainless steel. Left or right door swing is available on order and cannot be changed in the field. Compressors supplied by Hobart are rated 11⁄4 HP on HQC45 and HQCF45. Compressors are rated 13⁄4 HP on HQC90. Refrigerant is R404A. Remote refrigeration system or water cooled refrigeration system are optional.
The microprocessor controller provides the ability to:
•Select the mode of operation from a standard menu: Automatic (probe) or timed chill or freeze.
•Display the current air and product temperatures and time.
•Monitor product temperature with three probes during chill mode to reduce chances of freezing.
•Allows the operator the choice of enabling surface protection that will limit the air temperature to 28°F in the latter part of the chill cycle.
•Provide service diagnostics to quickly check machine functions and control circuitry; provides quick connect/disconnect of the controller.
The printer is part of the controller and provides the ability to:
•Print data from the last chill cycle or from all chill cycles since 12:00 midnight.
•Print the time and date information for each cycle.
•Report chill temperatures vs. time at ten minute intervals.
