Introduction. Cook Chill Operation. Blast chilling is a process to reduce the temperature of cooked food by swiftly arresting the cooking process, locking in its colour, flavour, texture and nutritional value. Department of health guidelines state that to safely blast chill food the temperature must be reduced from +70°c to +3°c within 90 minutes.

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 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.
Controller operating instructions DEFROST/ UP START/ STOP DOWN Display Set Point: Press the SET key whilst in the HOLD Mode will display the set point for 5 seconds. Modify Set Point: Press and hold the SET key for 2 seconds. The SET point will be displayed and the LED’s of the first and third digits will blink.
Illuminated When in program Pr2 indicates the parameter is also present in Program function and operation. Each of the programs is divided into 3 phases of operation. Phase 1: Hard Chill. Phase 2: Soft Chill. Phase 3: Freezing Cycle. For each phase there are 3 parameters. IS1 (iS2, iS3): operation controlled by the Food Probe.
Hard Chill +-. This program is for specialist chilling only and is not recommended for normal use. (Cy3) dbC = no iS1 = -6°C iS2 = 3°C iS3 = -18°C dbH = no rS1 = -15°C rS2 = 2°C rS3 = -30°C HdS = 3°C Pd1 = 1.1 hours Pd2 = 0.2...
PrP: Printer presence. (Yes or no) Enables or disables the printer. ItP: Printing interval. (0.0 to 30.0). Sets the print interval. PbP: Print probe selection. (iP: only the food probe selected. rP: only the air probe selected. irP: Food and Air probe selected.

OAC: AUX output configuration: (AL, Li, UL, Ip, AA, rE, dF, C2) AL: alarm output; Li: light of the cabinet; UL: for the ultra-violet light (It is actionable only when the controller is in OFF position); Ip: to extract the insert probe (It is actionable only when the controller is in OFF position); AA: anti - condensation;...
NOTE: Although the controller is capable of several features ie. HACCP recording and output, it is intentional by Foster that these have not been developed to maintain the simplicity of operation for the end user. Therefore these features are not offered or supported.
