5. Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, you can leave out the Product
Probe that Auto Mode requires. Instead of
inserting the probe, you program the chiller to chill
for a certain length of time. While running in
manual mode, yet prior to the time ending, it will
behave as it does when in Auto mode when the
product probe is above 36°. After the timer times
out, it will enter
Auto holding mode
. If the
product probe is plugged in and it its holder, the
blast chiller will use it as a thermostat set to 36°. If
the product probe is not plugged in, it will turn on
when the air probe reads 45°.
The screens in Manual Mode

- This indicates the air
temperature in large letters on the top line,
followed by the total chill time in small
letters and the current time (the time since
the chilling started).

The Red Light
The red operational error light and alarm turns on
when there is a critical failure. These failures are:
•
Air temperature above 100°. If, for some reason,
the refrigeration should fail, the chiller could
become extremely hot as the heat comes out of
the food. Therefore, if the air temperature reaches
100°, the controller will shut everything down.
•
Fan contactor failure - If the fan contactor fails, the
fans will fail to come on. The unit will not shut
down, but it will not be cooling (except for a false
alarm).
•
Defrost contactor failure – Same thing here.
However, you can still use the blast chiller once
you’re out of Defrost.
•
Air probe open – The unit cannot operate if the
controller doesn’t at least have the air temperature
input.
To get to Manual Mode:
Push
F3
while in Auto.
You will see the same password entry screen as before.
After entering the password, push
