Soft Chilling: The air temperature is held in the range of 28°F to
35°F, ideal for delicate food items. The chilling cycle is completed
when the food core temperature reaches 38°F.
Hard Chilling: The air temperature is lowered to and held within
a range of 10°F to 20°F. When the food core temperature reaches
60°F, the air temperature rises to a range of 28°F to 35°F. The
chilling cycle is completed when the food core temperature
reaches 38°F.
Shock Freeze: Not available on APC26BC-2T
Quick Start: Programmable single touch button to start a cycle.
Used for the most popular settings for the customer. This allows
for starting any chilling or freezing cycle with one touch.
