Reading the Floor Plan
Two oor plans are included with the unit. One will be located in the accessory box and the other will be attached to
the exterior door and frame assembly. Below is a sample oor plan.
A review of the oor plan will indicate all dimensions, as well as all wall, ceiling oor and door locations. All wall,
ceiling, oor and door/frame sections are numbered on the oor plan as well as on the corresponding equipment. All
wall panels will have an arrow indicating which edge of the panel should be up. The oor plan is designed to help you
easily and systematically install all components of the cabinet. For ease of installation always start with wall panel
number one.
Preparing The installation Site
An overall inspection should be done of the installation area to familiarize oneself with potential problems such as
building walls, ceilings, oors or concrete slabs. These items need to be considered when preparing the site. It is
critical that the unit ts properly into the space provided.
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING IN PREPARATION FOR INSTALLING THE UNIT:
Note any offsets for building columns.
Check condition of oor or slab (clean, smooth and level).
Check height restrictions (ceiling, beams, duct work, lights, piping, etc.).
Check location of oor drains and condensate lines.
Check compliance with all building, electrical and mechanical codes.
Verify that the door will open without restriction and does not obstruct frequent trafc patterns. The door should
swing away from trafc ow when possible.
Determine if panels of considerable length can be transported through door openings, hallways and stairways.
Check and determine if the oor has been treated prior to installing the unit.
Note the location of any special accessories (heated relief vents, alarms, etc.)

Modular HURRiCHiLL Installation & Operations Manual
Cam-Lock Operation
The cam-lock locking device is located in the perimeter edge of all panels. Cam-Lock access holes are located on the
interior side of the panels. Generally speaking the male locks are located on the right side, top and bottom of the wall
panels.
The cam action of the lock will pull the panels together, compressing the factory applied gasket and providing an air
tight seal.
To operate the cam-lock, (as shown) insert the
panel lock wrench (located in the accessory box)
through the lock access hole and into the hex
opening in the male cam-lock.
Turn the panel lock wrench counter clockwise
to check that the locking arm is brought to a
completely open position.
Next, rotate the panel lock wrench clockwise 3/4 of
a full turn to actuate the lock engaging the locking
arm to the lock pin. The cam action of the lock will
pull the panels together, compressing the factory
applied gaskets and providing an air tight seal.
Finally, rotate the panel lock wrench approximately
1/4 turn to fully actuate the lock by securing the
cam-lock arm to the pin. Once all the cam-locks
are engaged, the access holes must be plugged
with the supplied lock hole buttons (located in the
accessory box).
Male and female cam-lock mechanisms must line-up on adjacent panels, but are able to tolerate a +/- 1/8” tolerance.
Continually check to see that the tops of the adjacent panels are evenly lined up and ush before locking.
Continually check to see that the interior seam of the panels being locked together is ush, tolerance is +/- 1/64”.
Tools Needed
Have these tools available for the installation.
5/16” Cam lock wrench (included in accessory box)
Tape measure
Adjustable wrench or
Refrigerant oil

Modes Explained
Each unit is capable of running in either an ‘Automatic’, ‘Manual’ or ‘A la Carte’ mode:
• In ‘Automatic’ mode the unit will read the food temperature via the food probe and adjust the air temperature
accordingly.
NOTE: When using ‘Automatic’ mode it is very important to insert the food probe in the product.
The food probe must read the core temperature of the product in order for the unit to work as
intended.
• In ‘Manual’ mode the air within the cabinet will be held at a preset temperature for a preset amount of time based
on the selected operating cycle (see below).
• In ‘A la Carte’ mode the air within the cabinet will be held at a preset temperature until all of the timers expire.

Soft Chill
Used for delicate items and salad items. Items with low fat
or moisture content such as bakery goods should also use
this mode.
Automatic Mode: The air temperature will cycle between 28°F and 35°F until the food core
temperature will reach 40°F, at this point the blast chiller will switch into holding mode where the
air temperature will cycle between 35°F and 42°F until the food is removed from the cabinet and/or
cycle is stopped by the operator.
Manual Mode: The air temperature will cycle between 28°F and 35°F for 1.5 hours. After 1.5 hours
the unit will switch into holding mode where the air temperature will cycle between 35°F and 42°F
until the food is removed from the cabinet and/or cycle is stopped by the operator.
A La Carte: The air temperature will cycle between 28°F and 35°F until all the timers expire, after
that the unit will switch into holding mode where the air temperature will cycle between 35°F and
42°F until the cycle is manually stopped by the operator.
Hard Chill
Used for all foods. Some freezing on the food surface
may occur, especially with thicker products; if this is not
acceptable use the ‘Soft’ cycle as described above.
Automatic Mode: The air temperature will cycle between 0°F and 10°F until the food core
temperature will reach 60°F (rst part of the cycle). After the food core temperature reaches 60°F
the air temperature inside the unit will cycle between 28°F and 35°F (second part of the cycle) until
the food core temperature will reach 40°F. At this point the blast chiller will switch into holding mode
where the air temperature will cycle between 35°F and 42°F until the food is removed from the
cabinet and/or cycle is stopped by the operator.
Manual Mode: The air temperature will cycle between 0°F and 10°F for one hour (rst part of
the cycle). After one hour the air temperature inside the unit will cycle between 28°F and 35°F for
another hour (second part of the cycle). At this point the blast chiller will switch into holding mode
where the air temperature will cycle between 35°F and 42°F until the food is removed from the
cabinet and/or cycle is stopped by the operator.
A La Carte: The air temperature will cycle between 0°F and 10°F until all the timers expire, after
that the unit will switch into holding mode where the air temperature will cycle between 35°F and
42°F until the cycle is manually stopped by the operator.

Shock Freeze
Use for all freezing needs. When using the Shock Freezing
Cycle the ice crystals that form within the product are
very small. The quality and the texture of the product is
preserved. For that reason, the Shock Freeze Cycle is
suitable even for delicate products such as sushi meat and
prime meat cuts. Shock Freeze Cycle will give excellent
results when used in the process of Ice Cream and Gelato
hardening, it will give a smooth texture to the product.
Automatic Mode: The air temperature will cycle between -25°F and -15°F until the food core
temperature will reach 0°F, at this point the blast chiller will switch into holding mode where the air
temperature will cycle between -4°F and 3°F until the food is removed from the cabinet and/or cycle
is stopped by the operator.
Manual Mode: The air temperature will cycle between -25°F and -15°F for 4 hours. After 4 hours
the unit will switch into holding mode where the air temperature will cycle between -4°F and 3°F
until the food is removed from the cabinet and/or cycle is stopped by the operator.
A La Carte: The air temperature will cycle between -25°F and -15°F until all the timers expire, after
that the unit will switch into holding mode where the air temperature will cycle between -4°F and 3°F
until the cycle is manually stopped by the operator.
NOTE: At the end of any cycle the unit will switch into holding mode to maintain the food
at a specic temperature. However, the unit is not designed to be a refrigerator or holding
cabinet. Do not allow the blast chiller to function in holding mode for extended periods of
time.
Occasional overnight holding is allowed.
Quick Start
The Quick Start mode allows for one button operation of
the most common cycle as dened by the user. Quick
Start is set from the factory as a Soft Chill - Manual
mode but can be customized in the settings for any cycle
operation.
