USE
This appliance is intended mainly for blast chilling and shock freezing food. If cooked and rapidly chilled, the
foods retain their organoleptic properties for 5-7 days; if rapidly frozen, thawed foods retain their consistency
and their original flavour.
3.7 Notes for the user
•Read this manual carefully and always refer to it;
•This appliance is intended for the use for which it was designed: blast-chilling, shock-freezing,
thawing, leavening, slow cooking, warming, sanitising foods and cooling beverages at home. Any
other use is considered improper and potentially dangerous.
3.8 Internal preparatory cleaning
Once the electrical connections and the positioning are complete and before turning on the appliance it is
necessary to deep clean the inner liner, using a soft cloth and a neutral detergent.
Do not use steel wool, scrapers or abrasive, acidic or aggressive substances as this may damage the inner
surfaces. Remove any detergent residue.
3.9 The core probe
The core probe is a device used for measuring the temperature inside the food. In programs that require the
use of the core probe, the process ends automatically when the setpoint temperature is reached.
Correct use of the probe requires the probe to be inserted into the food before starting the program.
Note: the core probe must be inserted into the core of the food so that it cannot come out.
In the event that the core probe is not inserted in the food because it was forgotten on the bottom of the
cell or because it came out from the food, the appliance automatically switches to "Recipe" mode.
Handle the probe carefully and pay attention to its tip. When the core probe is no longer needed, clean it
with a soft cloth using warm water, and then store it.

15
Tip: in order to improve the effectiveness of the programs, insert the probe into the largest piece of food.
Some programs feature the "Recipe" mode. In this mode the core probe is not necessary: the process is
automatic and depends on the program settings.
Note: while in "Recipe" mode, the use of the core probe has no effect on the program.
3.10 The containers and lids to be used during the cycles
Trays and shallow containers are preferred as they facilitate internal ventilation.
Tip: to increase the effectiveness of blast chilling and shock freezing, spread out the food portion in the air
flow as much as possible; avoid covering the trays and containers as this increases the insulation. Make sure
containers are compatible with low-temperature applications (-40°C).
Tip: metal or ceramic containers and materials suitable for temperatures up to 75°C are recommended for
those programs with hot functions.
3.11 Food arrangement
Whenever possible avoid stacking food in the tray, instead spread out the food as much as possible over a
large area to maximise internal ventilation.
3.12 Effective chilling and freezing cycles
The best results in terms of chilling and freezing are obtained by introducing the food immediately after
cooking, avoiding exposure at room temperature since this will lead to the loss of humidity and deterioration
in the original colour, aroma and flavour.
Tip: the chilling and freezing programs are shorter and lead to better results if a pre-cooling cycle is run first.
3.13 Storage of blast chilled or shock frozen foods
At the end of blast chilling or shock freezing programs the appliance keeps foods at the setpoint temperature;
however, the food should not be stored for a long time inside the appliance but stored in the refrigerator or
freezer.
Since the shock frozen products can be stored for long periods (6÷12 months), they should be identified with
a label referring to its contents and date of expiry.
The proper place of storage of blast chilled foods is the refrigerator while those of shock frozen food is the
freezer; it is therefore recommended to use such equipment.
Tip: to further enhance the shelf-life of chilled foods vacuum packaging is recommended, with equipment
suitable for the purpose and observing the regulatory requirements of temperatures and times.
3.14 Programs
BLAST CHILLING
With this program it is possible to store food in the refrigerator for 5÷7 days. The rapid cooling to
+3°C stops the evaporation of water from freshly baked products. By reducing the exposure of the
food in the temperature range of bacteria proliferation, it lengthens the storage time of the food
itself.
SHOCK FREEZING
The rapid cooling process to -18°C allows foods to be stored for several months. The organoleptic
qualities of the food: flavour, aroma and appearance are maintained by the rapid solidification of the
water, that avoids tearing the fibres.

16
PRE-COOLING
Pre-cooling optimises preparation times in the kitchen as it takes place during the preparation of the
recipes. Pre-cooling reduces the execution time of programs that include operations such as blast
chilling and shock freezing very hot foods by cooling the internal parts of the equipment.
COOLING
When freshly cooked food cannot be consumed immediately because it is too hot, this program
accelerates the cooling process without having to wait for natural acclimatisation.
BEVERAGES
A wine cellar is used to store beverages at the desired temperature. However, blast chillers are very
helpful when there is not enough time to cool down a bottle. This program reduces the temperature
of a drink according to the available time.
0°C PRESERVATION
This program aims to preserve the organoleptic properties of raw foods and it is suitable for
preserving foods such as meats, fish and vegetables for a few hours before their preparation.
RAW FISH
Incorrect storage of fishery products may cause health risks in relation to contamination by Anisakis,
a parasite that can be eliminated by prolonged cooking processes or freezing and storage at -30°C
(sanitation). This program uses the high performing chiller to reproduce the sanitisation process at
home.
THAWING
This brings food from freezing temperature to 1-3°C without loss of liquids and without starting the
cooking process, avoiding the protein processing that happens, for example, when defrosting meat
in the microwave.
READY TO SERVE
This program warms a previously cooked food kept in the refrigerator, so it can be served at the
correct temperature.
SLOW COOKING
This cooks a recipe at a constant temperature for the desired time. This technique, thanks to limited
water evaporation from the food, maintains the quality and tenderness of the food.
RAISING
The raising program creates a microclimate in controlled temperature and humidity conditions.
Fermentation can then take place in optimum conditions, producing the natural swelling of the
dough. By programming the duration of the leavening it is possible to reduce the amount of yeast in
the recipe, obtaining a lighter and more digestible product, at the same time favouring the desired
aroma.
3.15 The display and user interaction
The control panel is composed of a 4.3" LCD display with integrated capacitive touchscreen and a power
button on the side.

time of the food itself. It is also possible to blast chill foods which have just been cooked even at temperatures
of 90°C.
BLAST CHILLING
It is possible to choose from two blast chilling modes: "Recipe" and "Core".
Recipe mode does not require the use of the core probe but it is necessary to indicate the weight of the food and
its initial tray temperature.
RECIPE MODE
Options
Type of food: specify the type of food to be chilled.
Preparation: specify if the food on the tray is whole or in a different form (i.e.: sliced,
diced, in pieces, etc.).
Weight: select the quantity of food on the tray.
Initial state: if the food has just been baked or if it’s hot, select “hot”. If it’s at room
temperature or warm, select “Room temp.”.
Before starting
It is possible to verify the information in the summary screen and, if necessary, modify the
duration of blast chilling process. The factory pre-set duration value blinks and by single
press it is possible to access to the screenshot where it is possible to modify the duration
value.

During the program
The display shows the settings and the remaining time to the end of the program.
AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM
For any blast chilling operation mode, at the end of the program the appliance beeps and displays an information
message. It then switches to preservation mode which maintains the temperature of +3°C at the food core until the
user intervenes.
Note: opening the door during blast chilling introduces warm and moist air, increasing the duration of
the process. In the "Recipe" mode the duration of the program is fixed: repeatedly opening the appliance
door could lead to imperfect blast chilling. Do not open the appliance door during the blast chilling program.
3.18.4 Shock freezing
Shock freezing is a rapid cooling process that allows foods to be stored for numerous months if kept in a
freezer at -18°C. The organoleptic qualities of the food: flavour, aroma and appearance are maintained by
the rapid solidification of the water, that avoids tearing the fibres.
SHOCK FREEZING
It is possible to choose from two blast chilling modes: "Recipe" and "Core".
Recipe mode shock freezing does not require the use of the core probe but it is necessary to indicate the weight of the
food and its initial temperature in the tray.
Core mode shock freezing allows the temperature at the core of the food to be read accurately and the user only needs
to enter a few pieces of information.

AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM
In any shock freezing operation mode, at the end of the program the appliance beeps and displays an information
message. It then switches to preservation mode which maintains the temperature of -18°C at the food core until the user
intervenes. At the end of all steps a defrosting cycle is carried out.
Note: opening the door during shock freezing causes the introduction of warm and moist air, increasing
the duration of the process. In the "Recipe" mode the duration of the program is fixed: repeatedly opening
the appliance door could lead to imperfect shock freezing. Do not open the appliance door during the shock
freezing program.
3.18.5 Cooling
Freshly cooked food is not at the correct temperature for serving or for further processing and therefore
there is a waiting period for natural acclimatisation.
The cooling program reduces these waiting times in the kitchen.
COOLING
Options
Air temperature: select the desired temperature for cooling the food.
Cycle length: select the duration of the cooling program.
Before starting
It is possible to verify the information in the summary screen.
