INTRODUCTION Blast Chiller Model AP120BC1000-3 is used to rapidly chill cooked foods to temperatures suitable for refrigerated storage. It is capable of lowering the core temperature of most foods from 160 F in 90 minutes. Chiller/Freezer AP120BCF1300-3 has the same chilling capabilities as the Blast Chiller and, when the shock freezing option is selected, is capable of lowering the core temperature of most foods from 160 pans.
MANUAL MODE Operating time is set manually, by the operator, for the meal that has been chosen. Air temperature is controlled by the air probe. If the food probes have been inserted into the food they will provide temperature readouts only. The unit will automatically switch into the holding mode at the end of the cycle.
INSTALLATION OF REMOTE UNITS REQUIREMENTS TO BE MET DURING INSTALLATION (8 STEPS) COMPRESSOR 1. Inclination of the piping. 3. Airtight welding. 5. Check for leaks. 6. Open the shut-off valves (A & B, FIG.4) on both sides of remote unit and of cabinet. 7.
INSTALLATION AT DIFFERENT LEVELS If the remote condensing unit is installed at a higher level than the cabinet (FIG. 6) insert a siphon in the return line at every 6 ft. of difference in height. If the remote condensing unit is installed at a lower level than the cabinet (FIG.
ANY SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE. INSTALLATION AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY APPROVED & AUTHORIZED BY AMERICAN PANEL CORPORATION. DOING OTHERWISE MAY VOID THE WARRANTY. Note: Any changes made to the equipment without authorization from the factory will void the warranty.
ELECTRICAL AND REFRIGERATION SPECIFICATIONS MODEL VOLTAGE AMPS 208/3/60 AP120BC1000-3 208/3/60 AP120BCF1300-3 NOTES: 1.

AP120BC1000-3/ AP120BCF1300-3 Manual STARTING & TESTING THE UNIT 1. To charge the unit, use the "HARD" cycle and the "MANUAL" mode. Set for two hours of operation to allow enough time to fully charge the unit. IMPORTANT: Immediately after starting the unit, check that the evaporator fans inside the cabinet are rotating CLOCKWISE.
AP120BC1000-3/ AP120BCF1300-3 Manual USING THE HURRICHILL™ TECHNOLOGY BLAST CHILLING All cooked food rapidly loses its quality and aroma if it is not served promptly. Natural bacteria growth, the main reason why food becomes stale, takes place at an exponential rate between 140°F and 40°F.
PANNING AND LOADING PANNING 1. Standard pan depth is 2-1/2”. Other depths can be used but are not recommended as their use would require an increase in the cycle time. 2. Stainless steel or aluminum pans are recommended, as plastic containers will increase the chilling time.
