Position the Quickchiller
to allow sufficient air
ventilation through the
condensing unit(s). The
rear of unit should be no
closer than 6" (152mm)
to any wall or structure.
Avoid installing the
chiller immediately
adjacent to fryers,
charbroilers, or any other
equipment producing
grease laden air; heat
producing equipment
such as ovens and
ranges; and steam discharging equipment such as
steamer ovens and kettles. Do not locate the
Quickchiller in direct sunlight.
Allow sufficient front clearance for serviceability
and for easy maneuvering of food trolleys in and
out of the cabinet.
I N S TA L L AT I O N
Prior to moving the Quickchiller to the installation
site, check the dimensions of doors, passageways, and
ceiling heights in the areas through which the cabinet
must be moved. Also check the turning radius if the
cabinet must be moved around an existing structure.
The use of a fork lift or pallet lift truck is required for
moving and leveling most Quickchiller models.
NOTE:In certain instances, it may be necessary to
remove doors and door hardware to
negotiate tight spaces.

The model QC-3 is a counter mounted unit and
must be sealed to the counter with a NSF listed
silicone sealant.
For all other
models, install
the appliance
on a smooth and level floor
surface. Use the adjustable cabinet legs to level
the Quickchiller.
Adjust from front-to-back and from side-to-side
with the use of a spirit level to evenly distribute
the cabinet weight and avoid pulling the cabinet
alignment out of square.
After leveling the cabinet of cart equipped models,
check the height relationship of the roll-in cart to
the cabinet. Adjust the Quickchiller height as
needed to accommodate the cart and to securely
close the Quickchiller door(s).
D O O R S E A L :
Check the door gasket to make certain it is sealing
properly and that the gasket provides an even and
positive seal around the entire door frame.
WAT E R D R A I N A G E
A 1/2" I.D. (12,7mm) PVC pipe is furnished with
each QC-50 and QC-100 model. Use PVC glue to
attach the pipe into the drain opening at the rear
of the unit. Insert the PVC pipe into the drain
opening with a 1/4" (6mm) clockwise turn.
Connect the PVC pipe to discharge through an
indirect waste pipe into an open-site drain by
means of a 2" (51mm) air gap. Connection must
be within 10' (3m) of the unit.
NOTE: In the U.S.A., this equipment is to be

Trolley Guide Installation
1. Align each guide rail with the holes located under
the cabinet.
2. Loosely fasten each guide rail with a washer, lock
washer and bolt.
3. Push the roll-in cart (trolley) into the Quickchiller, center
the cart right-to-left, and close the door.
4. Slide both guide rails toward the center of the
Quickchiller until they make contact with the roll-in cart.
Lock the guide rails into position by tightening the bolts.
At the front of the Quickchiller, make certain contact has
been made between the Quickchiller and the cart along
the total width of the door to create a complete seal.
When a full seal has been determined, recheck each
connection to make certain it has been fully tightened.
