2. TECHNICAL DATA
The technical data plate is located outside on the side or at the rear, and
inside the motor compartment.
2.1. NOISE LEVEL
Leq at the noisiest point at 1 m in operating condition < 70 dB (A)
Lpc at 1 m in operating conditions < 130 dB (C)
TESTING ENVIRONMENT
Testing has been performed in a rectangular showroom with no sound
absorption.
Significant obstacles were absent in the area surrounding the machine.
REFERENCE REGULATIONS
Noise testing was performed in compliance with Legislative Decree 277
and in accordance with methods described in ISO 230-5, in order to ob-
tain the data required by EEC Directive 89/392.
OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE MACHINE
Testing was performed under the most severe condition which corre-
sponds to the start-up phase called “PULL DOWN”.
2.2. MATERIALS AND FLUIDS USED
The materials used comply with Legislative Decree of 25 July 2005, No.
151 in enactment of Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/
EC, relating to the reduction in the use of hazardous substances in elec-
trical and electronic equipment, as well as to waste disposal
3. OPERATION
3.1. APPLICATIONS, PURPOSE, FORESEEN AND UN-
FORESEEN USE, AUTHORISED USE
Our refigerators are agroindustrial machines (EC regulation No.
1935/2004), intended for foodstuffs.
The machines are designed with the appropriate equipment to guarantee
the health and safety of the user.
APPLICATION OF THE BLAST CHILLER-FREEZER:
The blast chiller-freezer is a machine which rapidly lowers the tempera-
ture of cooked or raw foods, in order to maintain unaltered the orga-
noleptic properties (chemical-physical and nutritional) of these foods.
Cooling or freezing time, in function with the type or types of
elements present in a cooked dish (density, portions), is a vari-
able parameter not easy to stabilise. The declared performanc-
es have been obtained with potato puree, deposited in GN1/1
H=40 steel baking trays. The thickness of the puree contained
in the trays is 25mm.
BLAST CHILL TEMPERATURE CYCLE:
This cycle enables a rapid lowering of the temperature of the cooked food
(from +90 to +3°C in 90 minutes) to avoid it remaining within the critical
temperature range of +10°C to +65°C.
The cooked and blast chilled food can be stored in the refrigerator for
up to 5 days.
SHOCK FREEZE TEMPERATURE CYCLE:
Shock freezing (from +90°C to -18°C) prevents the formation of macro-
crystals of ice in the food, which would result in a loss of liquids and
vitamins.
This cycle is suitable for cooked and raw food and conserves these food-
stuffs for up to 2 months and 12 months respectively.
CONSERVATION CYCLE:
At the end of every blast chill or shock freeze cycle the machine pro-
vides for a conservation cycle during which the equipment functions as
a normal refrigerator and the duration of which is to the discretion of
the user.
FOODSTUFFS STORAGE
For the best performance, the following indications should be observed:
Conservation cycle:
- Do not introduce inside the machine hot foods or uncovered liquids;
- Wrap or protect foodstuffs, in particular if they contain aromas;
- Arrange the foodstuffs inside so as not to limit air circulation, avoiding
placing on the racks papers, cartons, boards, etc. which may obstruct the
passage of air;
- Avoid as far as possible opening the door frequently or for lengthy
periods of time.
Blast chill cycle / shock freeze
- Do not open the door once the cycle has commenced and until the cycle
has terminated;
- Avoid wrapping, protecting or closing containers with lids or insulating films;
- Do not use trays or containers higher than 65mm;
- Do not stack foodstuffs;
- Use aluminium or stainless steel containers.
3.2. DANGEROUS AREAS, RISKS, HAZARDS AND UNA-
VOIDABLE RISKS
The refrigerator equipment has been designed and manufactured with
the appropriate devices to guarantee the health and safety of the user
and does not contain dangerous edges, sharp surfaces or protruding ele-
ments.
The stability of the machine is guaranteed even when the doors are open;
however, do not pull on the doors.
In the case of refrigerators with drawers, do not open more than one
drawer at a time and do not lean or sit on an open drawer, so as to avoid
overturning or damaging the refrigerator.
N.B.: In refrigerators with glass doors do not extract more than one

17 - GB
basket or rack at a time so as not to compromise the stability of the
refrigerator.
Gradually arrange the foodstuff starting from the bottom upwards; simi-
larly, remove foodstuff starting from the top downwards.
THE MACHINE HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED IN AN EX-
PLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Maximum load (uniformly distributed) per basket, drawer or
rack = 40 kg
REFRIGERATOR WITH CASTERS
When moving, take care not to forcefully push the refrigerator so as avoid
overturning and damage. Note also any unevenness of the surface on
which the refrigerator is being pushed. Refrigerators fitted with casters
cannot be levelled, therefore, ensure that the surface on which they rest
is perfectly horizontal and level.
ALWAYS BLOCK THE CASTERS WITH THE STOPS PROVIDED.
DANGER CAUSED BY MOVING PARTS
The only moving part is the ventilator, which presents no risk as it is
isolated by a protection grill secured with screws (before removing this
protection, disconnect the machine from the power supply).
DANGER CAUSED BY LOW/HIGH TEMPERATURES
Adhesive labels indicating “TEMPERATURE WARNING” are located in the
proximity of areas which constitute dangers of low/high temperatures.
DANGER CAUSED BY ELECRICAL POWER
Electrical risks have been eliminated by designing the electrical system in
accordance with CEI EN 60204-1 and CEI EN 60335-1.
Adhesive labels indicate “high voltage” areas which may present electri-
cal risks.
DANGER CAUSED BY NOISE
Leq at the noisiest point at 1 m in operating conditions < 70dB (A)
Lpc at 1 m in operating conditions < 130 dB(C)
OTHER RISKS
Any liquids emanating from foodstuffs or washing products are prevented
from leaking outside by a drain positioned at the bottom. During clea-
ning operations, remove the plug and place a collection tray under the
machine (hmax=100mm).
IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THE PLUG IS REFITTED IN
THE HOLE. IN THE CASE OF MACHINES WITH NO DRAIN, AVOID
ANY REMNANTS OF LIQUIDS BY CLEANING THOROUGHLY ON A
DAILY BASIS
3.3. SAFETY DEVICES
IT IS ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED TO TAMPER WITH
OR REMOVE THE SAFETY DEVICES PROVIDED (PROTECTION
GRILLS, DANGER LABELS, ETC.). THE MANUFACTURER DOES
NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD THE SAID IN-
STRUCTIONS NOT BE OBSERVED.
Tampering with or removing the safety devices provided (protection grills,
danger labels, etc.) is expressly prohibited. The manufacturer does not
accept any responsibility should the said instructions not be observed.
4. ORDINARY AND PROGRAMMED MAINTENANCE

starts the machine. To stop the machine press the button.
7.2.5. CONSERVATION PHASE
At the end of each blast chill/shock freeze cycle, the machine proceeds to conservation phase.
DISPLAY 1 is off; DISPLAY 2 indicates the cabinet temperature (Fig.11).
(Fig.11) The conservation symbol lights up
By pressing the button is indicated the time of the concluded blast chilling cycle.
By pressing button the temperature read by the probe is temporarily displayed (if inserted into
the product, it will show the temperature of this product).
This phase is terminated by pressing the button. The machine sets itself on Stand-by and the
user is asked whether the programme is to be memorised or the button must be pressed once more.
Press the food probe heating button to facilitate extraction of the probe from the product.
The symbol lights up.
Food probe heating takes place only if the temperature of the probe is less than -5ºC.
7.2.6. MEMORISING A BLAST CHILL/SHOCK FREEZE PROGRAMME
With the machine in conservation mode (if the cycle has gone to good aim) and pressing the
button, DISPLAY 1 indicates the number of the first free programme (Fig.12), by pressing the
(Fig.12) button, the cycle is memorised and the control board is re-set in order to start a new cycle.
It is possible to cancel a memorised programme overwriting it with a new blast chill/shock freeze
cycle by doing the following: once a cycle has terminated, instead of memorising it in the first
free programme automatically selected by the system, use button or to access the
number of the programme to be cancelled.
7.2.7. RECALL OF MEMORISED BLAST CHILL/SHOCK FREEZE PROGRAMME
To select a blast chill/shock freeze programme press button . By pressing the or
buttons the memorised programmes are displayed in sequence (Fig.13).
(Fig.13) Press button to start the selected blast chill/shock freeze programme.

7.3. DEFROSTING
Manual defrosting with the door open is performed if the cabinet temperature is below parameter
P57 (see tecincal manual). To start or stop defrosting cycle press button for extended time.
(Fig.15) DISPLAY 1 will indicate code and DISPLAY 2 the cabinet temperature (Fig.15).
7.4. STERILISATION (OPTIONAL)
Sterilisation can start only if the temperature is above parameter P26 (see tecincal manual).
The cycle is activated with the machine in Stand-by by pressing the button.
When the button is pressed again, sterilisation is terminated. The symbol light up on the display
indicates that the sterilisation phase is in progress.
(Fig.16) DISPLAY 1 shows the time to the end of the process (Fig.16).
If the door is opened or a blackout occurs, sterilisation terminates.
7.5. PRINTER (OPTIONAL)
The following is recorded for every blast chill cycle: date, time, type of cycle, time elapsed from start and tempera-
ture in the cabinet and at the product’s core, sampled every 10 minutes, to modify the sampling time see parameter P44 (see
tecincal manual). Using parameter P72 (see technical manual) the language of the printer can be changed.
Time = time elapsed
Ti = CABINET temperature
Tc = CORE temperature
7.6. ALARMS/ERRORS
7.6.1. HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM
During the positive (negative), the alarm part when the temperature cabinet the values sets up.
Alarm code AL1 will flash on DISPLAY 1.
The buzzer (optional) sounds but can be stopped by pressing a button. When the temperature falls
by below the alarm threshold, the alarm is automatically cancelled.
7.6.2. LOW TEMPERATURE ALARM
During the positive (negative), the alarm part when the temperature cabinet the values sets up.
Alarm code AL2 will flash on DISPLAY 1.
The buzzer (optional) sounds, but can be stopped by pressing a button. When the
temperature rises above the alarm threshold, the alarm is automatically cancelled.
7.6.3. DOOR OPEN ALARM
If the door is open for more than two minutes after the start of the blast chill/shock freeze, the
compressor stops and the code AL3 will flash on DISPLAY 1.
7.6.4. PRESSURE SWITCH/ELECTRIC ALARM ===> CONTACT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
When pressure switch alarm AL4 is activated, the blast chill cycle in progress will be immediately
terminated.
7.6.5. TIME-OUT ALARM
If the blast chill or shock freeze phase in progress does not terminate within the set time, code AL5
will flash on DISPLAY 1.

7.6.6. BLACKOUT ALARM
If a blackout occurs during a blast chill cycle, the machine remembers the cycle and phase it was
performing when it switched off.
In cycles with food probes, the machine also remembers the cycle.
Blast chill time tolerance is 10 minutes.
Code AL7 will flash on DISPLAY 1.
The buzzer (optional) sounds but can be stopped by pressing a button. If the button is pressed again,
the display disappears.
7.6.7. CABINET PROBE ALARM ===> CONTACT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The cabinet probe measures the temperature of the cabinet, which is indicated on DISPLAY 2.
If the probe is defective, a cabinet probe alarm and buzzer (optional) are activated and error code
ER1 flashes on the DISPLAY 1.
The buzzer (optional) sounds, but can be stopped by pressing a button.
Once the fault is remedied, the alarm cancels automatically.
- In the case of a faulty cabinet probe, it is nevertheless possible to start or continue a blast chill pro-
gramme with timer.
- A set temperature blast chill programme not yet started, will convert the setting to time.
- If the food probe is not inserted, a set temperature blast chill programme in progress will convert
the setting to time and the compressor check will be performed on the food probe instead of the
cabinet probe.
- A set temperature blast chill programme in progress with food probe inserted, turns the compressor
on and off on the basis of times memorised previously in blast chill or conversation phases.
7.6.8. FOOD PROBE ALARM ===> CONTACT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The food probe is used for reading core temperature in blast chill cycles.
A fault in the food probe causes an alarm only if a set temperature blast chill cycle is in progress.
In this case the cycle automatically coverts the setting to time and the buzzer (optional) is activated.
Alarm code ER2 will flash on DISPLAY 1.
The buzzer (optional) sounds, but can be stopped by pressing the button.
The alarm code display disappears by pressing a button.
7.6.9. EVAPORATOR PROBE ALARM ===> CONTACT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
