inspected in complete compliance with

accident-prevention Law Standards, with

state of the art rules and with Standards now

in force.

• The installer must check potential re-

prevention prescriptions (contact the nearest

re station for the due indications).

• Place the unit where the air suction from the

front of the unit and air discharge from the

back of the unit is not obstructed in any way.

• Level the unit through of the adjustable feet.

• If the appliances are not leveled, their

operations and condensation outflow can be

affected.

• Do not place the unit in direct exposure to

sunlight.

• Do not place the unit in limited air exchange areas.

• Do not install the unit in proximity of heat sources.

5-INSTALLATION

5.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Make sure that the plate data and electrical line features correspond (V, kW, Hz, phase and

available power).

• Install a properly sized differential automatic circuit-breaker switch on every unit upstream, in

accordance with the Standards in force in the installation Country.

• The electrical power supply cables must have the correct size and be chosen depending on

the real laying conditions; The electrical cables must enter and be blocked in the appropriate

cable sleeve and laid adequately depending on the installation ambient.

• The earth conductor must be connected directly to an effective earthing system.

In case of harmed persons or damaged appliances and objects, due to an incorrect

installation adn/or lack of compliance with laws in force, the manufacturing company declines

all liabilities and warranty obbligations.

• If the power supply cable is worn or damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by

the technical assistance service.

6-BLAST CHILLER/FREEZER USE PRECAUTIONS

In order to avoid burns when loading the machine with hot products, use kitchen gloves

During or at the end of blast chilling and freezing cycles, open the door slowly until the fans stop.

Extract carefully the core probe from the product and position it on the probe-holder.

Use suitable gloves for cold trays.

6.1 DANGER IN USE OF THE CORE PROBE

The use of the probe is allowed only for authorized and trained personnel.

The core probe must be used only for the purpose for which it was designed: to detect the

temperatures at the center of the food products to be chilled and/or frozen.

Handle the probe with care. It’s extremity is sharp to facilitate its insertion in products to be

chilled and/or frozen.

7-GENERAL ADVICE FOR USE

• Pre-cooling before a cycle of blast chilling or freezing, allows to reduce work time and obtain better

results

• Do not leave the hot product inside the chamber while not running a cycle, in order to avoid

damages to the machine.

• As soon as the product to be treated is inserted, start the blast chilling /freezing cycle.

950LIB055

Blast Chillers

• The core probe shall be positioned at the center of the largest cut of the product.

Make sure that the point of the probe does not come out of the product or touch the tray.

The probe must be cleaned and sanitized before each work cycle in order to avoid unwanted

contamination. Correct use of the core probe allows to reduce cycles duration and power

absorption.

• Do not overload the machine beyond manufacturer specication. If not at full load, it’s preferable to

place trays in the middle area of the chamber as close as possible to the evaporator fan.

Distribute the product neatly on the trays to allow the best possible air-flow around the product

surface.

• In order to obtain better results, load the trays with product with a maximum thickness of 8 cm for

blast chilling, or 5 cm for blast freezing. For difcult products characterized by a large quantity of

fats, reduce thickness.

• Do not leave cooked food to be blast chilled/frozen remain for long at room temperature. Start the

blast chilling /freezing as soon as preparation is completed.

• Cooked food can go inside the blast chiller even at temperatures beyond 100°C, as long as the

chamber is pre-cooled.

• Blast chilled and/or shock frozen food must be protected with hermetic cover or even better,

vacuum-packed. Indelibly mark the product with a label where content, day of preparation and the

expiration date are listed.

The following operating status exist:

• The “off” status (the device is not powered)

• The “stand-by” status (the device is powered and is off)

• The “on” status (the device is powered, is on and is in stand-by for the start-up of an operating

cycle)

• The “run” status (the device is powered, is on and an operating cycle is in progress).

If a power cut occurs during the “stand-by” status or during the “on” status, the device will re-

propose the same status when the power supply is restored.

If a power cut occurs during the “run” status, the device will operate as follows when the power

supply is restored:

• if a temperature-controlled blast chilling or deep-freezing operation was in progress, these will be

started again from the beginning

• if a time-controlled blast chilling or deep freezing operation was in progress the unit will be re-

started from the time the power cut occurs

• if storage was in progress, this will be re-proposed.

8.1 SWITCH THE DEVICE ON&OFF

Operate as follow:

• Make sure that the keyboard is not locked and that no procedure is in progress.

• Hold the START/STOP key down for 1 s: the LED will switch on/off.

• The display is off during the “off” status and during the “stand-by” status. The display shows

the chamber temperature during the “on” status.

8.2 SET THE REAL DATE AND TIME (if supported)

Operate as follows:

• Make sure that the keyboard is not locked and that no procedure is in progress.

• Hold the DOWN key for 1 s: the display will show the rst label available.

• Press and release the UP or DOWN key to select “rtc”.

Operate as follows to set the year:

• Press and release the BLAST CHILLING key: the display will show “yy” followed by the last

two numbers of the year and the LED will flash.
