Note: Warranties are effective from date of shipment, with a thirty day window to allow for shipment, installa- tion and set up. In the event equipment was shipped to a site other than the final installation site, Randell will warranty for a period of three months following installation, with proof of starting date, up to a maximum of eighteen months from date of purchase.
States. Freight Damage Any and all freight damage that occurs to a Randell piece of equipment as a result of carrier handling is not considered warranty, and is not covered under warranty guidelines. Any freight damage incurred during shipping needs to have a freight claim filed by the receiver with the shipping carrier (note all damages on freight bill at time of delivery).
PRINTER OPERATION All Randell blast chillers (except the BC-3) come with an on board data logging printer. This is a thermal printer that uses a 3.125" spool thermal paper. The printer records the data that the food probes monitor from inside the unit in the product pans.

OPERATION FOR CONTROL There are three modes of operation for the blast chiller. Idle, Automatic, and Manual. When a cycle is running (start has been pushed), the selected modes’ LED will flash. The following explains how to use each mode: Idle mode - When the control is first turned on, it will Pre- chill the cabinet down to 38°F and begin to cycle the compressor.

3. If you think there’s a pattern to the freezing, try putting the last pan into the coldest location; this gives the first pans in a head start and this may be just enough to solve the problem. 4. The product temperature set point can be adjusted from 0 to +40°F. The recommended setting is 38°F, but +40°F setting will stop the chill cycle sooner.
CONTROL PROGRAMMING A. Setting/Changing Parameters (SETTING THE DATE AND TIME) 1. Make sure the control is OFF to begin programming the Real Time Clock. 2.

Calibrating the probes: 1. With the unit on and the unit in idle mode, immerse probes in an ice bath for at least 5 minutes. 2. Press the SEL button to index the LED to illuminate next to the probe to be calibrated. 3.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Randell strongly suggests a preventive maintenance program which would include the following MONTHLY procedures: 1. Cleaning of all condenser coils. Condenser coils are a critical component in the life of the compressor and must remain clean to assure proper air flow and heat transfer. Failure to maintain this heat transfer will affect unit performance and eventually destroy the compressor.

1. Cleaning condenser coil. An accumulation of dirt and dust prevents the condenser coil from removing heat, making your unit cool poorly, run constantly, or even stop completely if the compressor overheats. Clean coil using a vacuum cleaner with a wand attachment.

Next set the meter at RX1000 and touch one probe to the motor terminals and the other one to any unpainted metal part of the unit. If the meter needle moves, the motor is grounded and should be replaced. To remove the motor unscrew the bracket that holds the fan motor to its housing, slide the motor out of the housing.
