THE DISPLAY
The display is OFF during the “OFF” status and during the “Stand-by” status.
The display shows the chamber temperature during the “ON” status.
The blast chiller will operate as follows during the “run” status:
• If a temperature-controlled blast chilling or blast freezing operation is in progress, the display will show the
temperature detected by the needle probe (Pb2).
• If a time-controlled blast chilling or blast freezing operation is in progress, the display will show the resid-
ual time of the cycle.
• If storage mode is in progress, the display will show the chamber temperature (Pb1).
The blast chiller is suitable for a fast dropping food product temperature (see the table with the temperatures
in relation to the product to freeze).
Do not put directly in the blast chiller food just taken out from the oven, wait few minutes before placing the
product inside the chamber and start the cycle.
Please note that the time to reduce the product temperature depends on several factors such as:
• The shape, the type, and the thickness of the ma-
terial in which the food is storaged
• Where the food is storaged is covered by lid or not.
• The physical characteristics of the food: density,
water content and fat content.
• The food temperature conditions before “blast
chilling/freezing”.
The time setting for blast chilling cycle needs to be
set according to the kind and/or weight of the food.
SELECTION MODE OF THE BLAST CYCLE (Positive or Negative temperature)
The following modes of blast chilling cycle can be selected:
• By time: If end user knows the exact time of food
blast chilling/freezing. When the cycle finishes
the appliance will switch automatically to storage
mode.
• By temperature: with needle sensor probe to be
inserted in the food core; set the temperature of
the food for blast chilling/freezing. The probe de-
tects the set temperature, after 1 acoustic signal
the blast chiller will switch to storage mode (see
needle probe sensor position chapter).
Blast chilling Cycle Cycle speed Kynd of food Load Cycle at food core
POSITIVE Full speed For all dense foods
and large sizes Max 4 Kg for tray +3°C MAX 90Min.
NEGATIVE Full speed For all dense foods
and large sizes 3 Kg Until to -18°C (240 minutes)
Reduced speed
Delicate products,
vegetables, creams,
spoon desserts,
small size products
13
EN

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT AT PRODUCT COR
When the product thickness allows, use always the temperature nee-
dle probe in order to know the exact temperature reached at the prod-
uct core. It is suggested to not interrupt the blast chilling cycle before
it has reached the temperature of +3 °c, in positive cycle and -18°C for
the negative cycle.
7. HOW TO USE
7.1. PLACING TRAYS AND CONTAINERS IN THE REFRIGERANT’S/FREEZER’S CHAMBER
Never stack food items on top of each other. Divide them evenly on the tray or GN container.
Keep vertical space between trays and/or GN containers
In order to ensure optimum circulation of hot air in the refrigerant’s/freezer’s chamber, a minimum verti-
cal distance of 40 mm between the trays or GN containers is required.
Positioning of trays and/or GN containers in the refrigerant’s/freezer’s chamber
To ensure optimum cold air circulation:
• Don’t position the tray or GN container against the fan
• Position them evenly and in the middle in the oven chamber

EN

STORAGED OF FOOD AFTER BLAST CHILLING CYCLE
The blast chilling/freezing food can be stored in the
refrigerator and keep the organoleptic qualities up
to 5 days from the blast chilling cycle. It is impor-
tant to respect the “cold chain”, keeping a constant
temperature between 0°C ÷ 4°C, depending on the
food. Using the vacuum technique, the storage
time can be increased up to about 15 days.
STORAGED OF FOOD AFTER BLAST FREEZING CYCLE
The frozen food can be stored in the refrigerator
maintaining the organoleptic qualities for several
months from the blast freezing cycle.
Food after a blast freezing cycle can be safely
stored for a period of 3 to 18 months, depending on
the kind of food. It is important to respect a storage
temperature equal or less than -20°C.
WARNING
Do not leave the cooked food at ambient temperature for long time before starting
blast chilling/freezing cycle.
Avoid moisture leakage, there is a risk to lose the preserved properties of the food.
Food after blast chilling/freezing must be protected by a food film (better if vacuum-packed) with a label in-
dicating the next information:
• Content
• Preparation day
• Expiration date
WARNING
Food already defrosted can not be frozen again

9. CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance
Switch OFF and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
• Clean the enclosure and interior of the appliance as often as possible.
• Blast chiller maintenance must include at least one daily cleaning of the loading zone to prevent the develop-
ment and accumulation of bacteria.
• Before cleaning the chamber, perform a defrost cycle leaving the door open and removing the drain plug.
• Blast chiller defrosting cycle is performed in manual mode and can be performed with open door
• After the appliances finishes the blast chilling/freezing cycle, the drain plug of the waste water must be re-
moved so that the condensate water will flow into the tank. The drain pipe also serves to drain out any liquids
of the product.
• At the end of each defrost cycle check the water level and if necessary empty the tray (located underneath the
unit).
