STANDARD FEATURES
■ The Safe-T-Thaw option provides rapid thawing
of frozen food under temperature controlled
conditions.
■ Thawing time is reduced to approximately 20%
of the time required with thawing in a standard
refrigerator. Nine to twenty hours versus one to
three days.
■ Safe-T-Thaw is available on two and three
section QS and QSA medium temperature,
self-contained refrigerators with full height
solid doors.
■ Frozen product is automatically thawed using
the refrigeration system in a reversed, heat
pump mode. A two-stage thermostat that
senses when frozen product has been intro-
duced into the cabinet automatically initiates the
thaw process. This same thermostat controls
temperature during the cycle, keeping the
temperature below 45
°F, a critical point where
harmful food bacteria begins multiplying.
■ Thawing action is aided by manually controlled,
mullion-mounted, auxiliary fan assemblies,
which move air across the food product,
increasing thawing efficiency.
■ The unit automatically reverts back to a
standard medium temperature refrigerator,
maintaining 38
°F to 40°F product temperature,
after the food product is thawed.
■ The unit will operate as a standard refrigerator
indefinitely, until additional frozen food product
is introduced.
Exclusive Hobart Reverse Refrigeration
technology utilizes heat from the refrig-
eration system to power-thaw frozen
product without expensive-to-operate
electric heaters. You save hundreds of
dollars yearly in energy costs. Multiple
