Environmental note
Note : Before discarding an old appliance, switch off and
disconnect it from the power supply. Cut off and render any plug
useless. Cut the cable off directly behind the appliance to prevent
misuse. This should be undertaken by a competent person. Disable
the door lock to make sure that children cannot get stuck inside
the appliance.

Important safety information
Your safety is of the utmost importance to Baumatic.
Please make sure that you read this instruction booklet
before attempting to install or use the appliance. If
you are unsure of any of the information contained in
this booklet, please contact the Baumatic Advice Line.
IMPORTANT: Any installation work must be
carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
Use of the appliance
oYour appliance is only designed to be used in the
home. It is suitable for rapidly lowering
temperatures, rapidly freezing foods and rapidly
cooling drinks. If it is used for any other purpose or
it is not used correctly, then Baumatic Ltd. will
accept no liability for any damage or injury that
might be caused.
oAltering the specification of the appliance must not be attempted
for reasons of safety.
oThe blast chiller has NOT been designed to be used
continuously. Therefore, for it to function correctly and
efficiently, it is advisable to switch the appliance off after a
maximum of two cycles and leave the door open for around 30 –
40 minutes so that any ice which has formed can evaporate.
Before using your appliance
oCheck the appliance for any signs of transport damage. If you
notice any damage, then you should not connect your appliance
to your mains supply and should contact your supplier.
Child safety

your mains supply socket.
oDo not pull out or insert the plug with wet hands.
6
oDo not attempt to use your appliance outdoors or
any place where it is likely to come into contact
with the elements.
oBefore cleaning the appliance or performing
maintenance work, ensure that the appliance has been
disconnected from your mains supply.
oNever allow the back coils of the appliance to come into contact
with the wall surface.
oAlways ensure that the location where you are installing your
appliance is free of stored items such as papers and other
flammable materials.
oNever block the ventilation openings of the appliance, either on
the inside or its exterior.
oIt is vital to keep your appliance well ventilated,
so that there is proper air flow between the
bottom of the unit and the plinth/kick plate
which it is sitting on.
oDo not place electrical devices inside of the appliance, such as
mixers and electric ice cream makers.

person responsible for their safety.
Service
You should not attempt to repair the appliance
yourself, as this could cause injury or a more serious
malfunction. If you require a service call then please
contact the Customer Care Department.

IMPORTANT: When you install your appliance it is important to bear
in mind its climatic rating.
Using your Baumatic blast chiller
Before switching on
oMake sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s
installation instructions.
oAfter delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the
appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant
gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation
process to settle.
oThe outside of the appliance and the removable accessories
contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid
detergent and water.
oThe interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of
sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior
and accessories should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning
process has been completed.
oThere can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It
will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
Storing blast chilled or frozen products
oBlast chilled and / or rapidly frozen food MUST NOT be kept
inside the blast chiller. It must be accurately covered and
protected (with cling film, a hermetic seal etc.) in the fridge or
freezer.

oBlast chilled food must be kept in a fridge at a constant
temperature of 3°C.
oFrozen food must be kept in a freezer at a constant temperature
of -18°C.
Loading the blast chiller
oAvoid keeping chilled and / or rapidly frozen food at room
temperature for long. If kept at room temperature, the foods will
undergo the following negative transformations: loss of
moisture, loss of initial quality and an increase in the possibility
of contamination.
oFor these reasons, it is advisable to start the chosen cycle as
soon as the preparation and / or cooking of the food is finished.
oTo load the blast chiller, always use the supplied grills, basket
and drip-tray in order to avoid blocking the airflow hitting the
product, which is located at the back of the blast chiller.
oEnsure that the products to be blast chilled are not stacked
incorrectly by inserting them individually or in small pieces when
they are large.
Using the core probe
oThe core probe is a device which can be found within the blast
chiller refrigerator and is used for reading the temperature at the
centre of the food which is to be rapidly chilled or frozen.
oWARNING: Take extra care when using the core probe as
it is very sharp and there is a risk of injury if handled
incorrectly.
9

oWhile in use, the core probe must be inserted into the food to be
chilled or frozen before the cycle begins.
oTo guarantee that the probe works correctly in the blast chiller
and deep-freeze cycle, insert it as in the diagram below. Insert
the tip right into the centre of the food, being careful that it does
not come out of the other side.
oAt the end of the cycle, clean the probe with a soft cloth and
warm water.
REMEMBER: The blast chiller and deep-freezing periods vary a
great deal depending on the physical characteristics and the
size of the food being used. For best use, it is advisable to put
foods into the appliance with a thickness of less than 2 cm,
which are defined as STANDARD foods.
For foods in basins which are thicker than 2 cm or for foods
which are not in bowls but are thicker than 2 cm (NON-
STANDARD foods), it is advisable to choose a -18°C non-
standard foods chiller cycle.
