Limits and requirements
Operators suitable to use the
equipment
The use of the equipment must be allowed
only to professional operators. All operators
must have been specifically trained in
performing the tasks, and practically trained to
carry them out.
”Qualified personnel” cannot operate on the
blast chiller if they take substances that
increase reaction times.
In the event that the owner of the blast chiller is
unable to provide sufficient training to staff,
it will be his responsibility to ask Irinox or the
seller to train his staff adequately.
Personnel must not try to “self-train”, based
on documentation or experiences that are
not conducted directly on a blast chiller identical
to that covered by this manual, in the specific
tasks they intend to cover.
Knowledge of the requirements contained in
these instructions is mandatory, but does
not replace the operator’s required experience.
Personal protective equipment
(PPE): what they are and why they
should be used
In order to prevent the risks that can be
generated by the installation of the equipment,
all operators who come into contact with it must
be equipped with adequate personal protective
equipment (PPE), such as:
• clothing adhering to the body and without
flying flaps that can get caught (if not already
provided for by the legislation relating to the
environments in which the equipment will be
used);
• gloves against the danger of burns;
• safety shoes (unless already provided for by
the legislation relating to the environments in
which the blast chiller will be used);
• safety goggles.
Personnel in charge of operation
The equipment must be operated by only
one operator at a time. The operator must
never intervene in order to carry out
interventions on the blast chiller other than the
management as described below; all
maintenance, repairs or other operations other
than management are to be considered as
reserved for the personnel in charge.
When abnormal operating conditions or
malfunctions occur in the blast chiller, only
service can restore normal operation.
Never intervene in order to solve machine
downtime situations that are not strictly
related to the management task. Never try to
help maintenance personnel.
Environmental requirements
This blast chiller must operate in an
environment that meets the following
requirements.
If it is used outside the listed limits, mechanical
failures or malfunctions may occur.
The equipment is not expected to be used in

SAFETY BASIC PRINCIPLES USE MAINTENANCE
Refrigerant gas warnings
The equipment works with R452A refrigerant
gas (R404a on request).
High inhalation exposures can cause anaesthetic
effects. Very high exposures can cause abnormal
heart rhythms and sudden death. The sprayed
or splashed product can cause frost burns to the
eyes or skin. Dangerous for the ozone layer.
First aid measures
Inhalation
Remove the injured person from exposure,
and keep him warm and at rest. If necessary,
administer oxygen. Practice artificial respiration
if breathing has stopped or shows signs of
stopping. In case of cardiac arrest, perform
external cardiac massage. Get immediate
medical attention.
Skin contact
Thaw the affected areas with water.
Remove contaminated clothing. Warning:
clothing can stick to the skin in the event of frost
burns. In case of contact with the skin, wash
immediately with plenty of lukewarm water.
If symptoms occur (irritation or blistering) seek
medical attention.
Eye contact
Wash immediately with an eye wash solution
or clean water, holding the eyelids apart, for at
least 10 minutes. Get medical attention.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. If the injured person is
conscious, rinse his/her mouth with water and
get him/her to drink 200-300 ml of water.
Get immediate medical attention.
Further medical treatment
Symptomatic treatment and supportive therapy
when indicated. Do not administer adrenaline
and similar sympathomimetic drugs following
exposure, due to the risk of cardiac arrhythmia
with possible cardiac arrest.
Firefighting measures
Non flammable.
Thermal decomposition causes the emission
of very toxic and corrosive vapours (hydrogen
chloride, hydrogen fluoride). In case of fire, use
self-contained breathing equipment and suitable
protective clothing.
Extinguishing agents
Use extinguishing agents appropriate for the
adjacent fire.
Toxicological information
Inhalation
Higher atmospheric concentrations can cause
anaesthetic effects with possible loss of
consciousness. Very high exposures can cause
abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death.
Higher concentrations can cause asphyxiation
due to the reduced oxygen content in the
atmosphere.
Skin contact
Splashed and sprayed liquid can cause frost
burns. It is unlikely to be dangerous by skin
absorption. Repeated or prolonged contact
can cause the removal of skin fat, resulting in
dryness, cracking and dermatitis.

11
Ecological information
It decomposes relatively quickly in the lower
atmosphere (troposphere). Decomposition
products are highly dispersed and therefore have
a very low concentration.
It does not affect photochemical smog (i.e.
it does not fall within the volatile organic
compounds - VOC - according to the provisions
of the UNECE agreement).
The ozone depletion potential (ODP) is 0 for both
R404A and R452A measured against a standard
ODP equal to 1 for cfc11 (according to the uNeP
definitions). The global warming potential of gas
(GWP) is 3260 for R404A and 2141 for R452A.
The substance is regulated by the Montreal
Protocol (1992 revision). Product discharges
released into the atmosphere do not cause
long-term water contamination.
Disposal considerations
The best solution is to recover and recycle the
product.
If this is not possible, destruction must take
place in an authorized plant equipped to absorb
and neutralize acid gases and other toxic
processing products.
Accidental release measures
Ensure adequate personal protection (with the
use of means of protection for the respiratory
tract) during the elimination of spills.
If conditions are sufficiently safe, isolate the
source of the leak. In the presence of small spills,
allow the material to evaporate on condition that
there is adequate ventilation.
Significant losses:
• ventilate the area;
• contain the spilled material with sand, soil or
other suitable absorbent material;
• prevent liquid from entering drains, sewers,
basements and work pits, because the
vapours can create a suffocating atmosphere.
Handling
Avoid inhalation of high concentrations
of vapours. Atmospheric concentrations
must be kept to a minimum and kept to the
minimum reasonably possible level, below the
occupational exposure limit.
The vapours are heavier than air, and therefore
it is possible to form high concentrations near
the ground where general ventilation is poor.
In these cases, ensure adequate ventilation or
wear suitable respiratory protective devices
with an air reserve. Avoid contact with open
flames and hot surfaces as irritating and toxic
decomposition products can form.
Prevent the liquid from coming into contact with
the eyes/skin.

SAFETY BASIC PRINCIPLES USE MAINTENANCE
Basic principles
What is a blast chiller and what is
it for
Before using the equipment it is necessary to know it
thoroughly. For this reason, the following explains in detail
what a blast chiller is and its possible uses.
A blast chiller quickly lowers the temperature of food,
whether fresh or already cooked: freshly cooked food has the
highest organoleptic qualities and flavour.
Already after a few hours, however, if not consumed, it loses
its initial quality characteristics and there is a proliferation of
microorganisms potentially dangerous for humans.
Unlike a blast chiller, ordinary refrigerators and freezers do
not have the ability to quickly lower the initial temperature
of the product, consequently the latter is damaged
organoleptically and in flavour.
Two types of cooling are possible: positive or negative.
Cooling reduces the product temperature within 90 minutes
until it reaches +3°C | 37°F at the core.
The product must subsequently be stored at a temperature
of 0/+3°C | 32/37°F where it can be kept up to 5 days.
Freezing reduces the product temperature within
240 minutes until it reaches -18°C | 0°F at the core.
The product must then be stored at a constant temperature
of -18/-20°C | 0/-4°F and can be consumed also after
3/18 months (depending on the type of product) as long as
the cold chain is complied with.
F04
Avoid keeping cooked food to be cooled or frozen
quickly at room temperature for long periods of time.
It is advisable to start the cooling or freezing cycle as soon as
the preparation is finished. Cooked food can enter the blast
chiller even at very high temperatures (>100°C | 212°F),
as long as the chamber is pre-cooled.
To have the best final quality of the product at all times,
we recommend you pre-cool the cell before inserting a
product, especially if it is very hot. Weight loss phenomenon
due to food water evaporation is reduced, as well as the
cooling times.
At the end of a cooling cycle, both positive and negative,
the maintenance phase of the blast chilled products begins,
to keep them at temperature until their removal which must
take place in the shortest possible time.
control
panel
ergonomic
handle
pivoting
wheels
The wheels must not
be used for the
transport of the blast
chiller, but only for small
movements on perfectly
smooth, flat and uneven
surfaces.
Once positioned, always
block the wheels of the
blast chiller.

13
F05
Do not use the blast chiller to keep the products already
chilled but remove and store them:
• in the refrigerator at a temperature of 0/+3°C | 32/37°F
where they can be kept for up to 5 days;
• in a storage unit at a constant temperature of -18/-20°C |
0/-4°F (Freezing). They can be consumed also after
3/18 months (depending on the type of product) as long as
the cold chain is complied with.
Chilled and/or frozen food must be specially covered and
protected (with film, with an airtight or better still
vacuum-sealed lid) and marked with an adhesive label
on which the contents, day of preparation and assigned
expiration date are stated in indelible ink.
The equipment has the ability to operate in the following
modes:
• MANUAL: the operator must manually enter the duration
of the cooling cycle which will end when the set time is
reached.
• AUTOMATIC: the operator must stick the core probe into
the food to be blast chilled. In this way it will constantly
detect the core temperature of the food in the cell.
The cooling cycle ends when the probe detects that the
temperature set for the selected cycle has been reached
(e.g. 3°C | 37°F).
At the end of the daily use of the appliance, perform a
defrost cycle:
Defrosting the machine is essential to remove ice from
the evaporator and to dry the cabinet, in order to have
the machine ready for the next working shift and to avoid
bacterial proliferation.
When the blast chiller is not used, leave the door ajar, in order
to allow natural air circulation, or alternatively keep the door
closed if Sanigen is present.
How to use the core probe
F05
The core probe must be positioned correctly in the
centre of the product of larger size or cut, taking care
that the tip of the probe does not come out of the product
itself or that it does not touch the tray. In order to avoid
unwanted contamination, the probe must be cleaned and
sanitized before each work cycle.
The phases managed with the core probe end when it
detects that the “core” of the food has reached the
temperature set for the cycle: unlike the phases set with a
duration, the detection of the temperature ensures that the
processed food has been cooled, frozen or cooked properly.
The machine can detect the presence of the probe
automatically.

SAFETY BASIC PRINCIPLES USE MAINTENANCE
How to properly load the
equipment
For best results we recommend loading GN1/1 trays with a
maximum thickness of 5cm | 2” for both cooling and freezing
The dishes must be placed in containers:
• suitable for food use;
• resistant to the temperatures reached by the cooling and
low temperature cooking cycles (if any);
• uncovered or with low edges (maximum 6.5 cm | 2 9/16”):
the greater the surface of the food exposed to contact
with cold air, the shorter the cooling times.
For best results we recommend loading containers with a
maximum of 3.5 kg | 7.7 lb of product and with a maximum
thickness of 8 cm | 3 1/8” for rapid cooling, or 5 cm | 2” for
quick freezing, for difficult and/or fatty products reduce the
thickness further. The maximum capacity for each tray is
17 kg | 37 lb.
If the machine is not fully loaded, concentrate the trays in the
central part of the blast chiller by placing an empty tray on
top of the last tray.
Place the trays in the innermost part of the tray holder,
making sure they are as close as possible to the evaporator.
The containers must be placed homogeneously and evenly
inside the cell to allow free circulation of air. Avoid obstructing
the ventilation fans and overloading the appliance beyond the
permitted limits (see tables below).
Cycle descriptions
DELICATE Cycle +3°C | 37°F
With this cycle, the temperature of the food is reduced
rapidly to +3°C | 37°F at the core, with a working
temperature that varies between 0°C | 32°F and 2°C | 36°F.
This cycle is particularly suitable for delicate products such
as:
• Mousses,
• Spoon desserts,
• Creams,
• Desserts,
• Vegetables,
• Foods of reduced thickness
STRONG Cycle +3°C | 37°F
With this cycle, the temperature of the food is reduced rapidly
to +3°C | 37°F at the core, with a working temperature that
varies between -15°C | 5°F and 2°C | 36°F.
This cycle allows to significantly reduce working times and is
particularly suitable for products:
• High in fat,
• Very dense,
• In large pieces,
• Packaged
DELICATE Cycle -18°C | 0°F
This cycle has two freezing phases.
In the first phase, the core temperature of the product is
brought to +6°C | 43°F, with a working temperature of
0°C | 32°F. In the second phase, the core temperature
of the product is brought to -18°C | 0°F, with a working
temperature that can reach -35°C | -31°F.
This cycle is particularly suitable for freezing baked products.
STRONG Cycle -18°C | 0°F
With this cycle, the temperature of the food is reduced
rapidly to -18°C | 0°F at the core, with a working
temperature that can reach -35°C | -31°F.
This cycle is particularly suitable for freezing food quickly.

Selecting the desired cycle
Press the key relating to the cycle to be performed:
+3°C | 37°F DELICATE (cooling cycle)
+3°C | 37°F STRONG (cooling cycle)
-18°C | 0°F DELICATE (freezing cycle)
-18°C | 0°F STRONG (freezing cycle)
The temperatures preset for each cycle ( +3°C | 37°F for
cooling cycles and -18°C | 0°F for freezing cycles ) can be
modified and stored, see page 23.
Pre-cooling the cell
Wait at least 5 minutes after starting the cycle (pre-cooling)
before introducing the products to be blast chilled into the
chamber, especially if they are very hot (>100°C | 212°F).
Choosing the working mode
The equipment has the ability to operate in the following
modes:
MANUAL p. 19 the user must manually
enter the duration of the cooling or freezing
cycle which will end when the set time is
reached.
AUTOMATIC p. 20 the user must stick the
core probe into the food to be blast chilled.
In this way it will constantly detect the core
temperature of the food in the cell.
The cooling or freezing cycle will end when the probe detects
that the temperature set for the selected cycle has been
reached.

MANUAL mode (timed)
1Press the relative key to select the timed mode (the
cycle is interrupted when the set time has elapsed).
Insert the products to be treated in the cell and close the
door.
2The screen displays:
• the temperature in the cell (in the example 33°C | 92°F)
• the expected cooling or freezing time (in the example
3 hours and 30 minutes); if necessary, it is possible
to modify this default time by pressing the “+” or “-”
keys (keeping the key pressed for over two seconds will
increase the time more quickly.)
3Press the “START” key to start the cycle.
4In the screen that appears, the cycle in progress is
shown on the top left (e.g. delicate +3°C | 37°C) and on
the right the percentage of completion (e.g. 90%).
5Pressing the symbol displays for 3 seconds:
• the air temperature,
• the temperature detected by the core probe
• the cycle duration.
Pressing the screen is put into stand-by but the cycle
continues.
At the end of the set time, the cycle ends and an acoustic
signal is emitted.
To interrupt the cycle prematurely, press the “STOP” key.

AUTOMATIC mode (with probe)
1Press the relative key to select the automatic mode (the
cycle is interrupted when the core probe detects the
temperature set for the chosen cycle). Insert the core probe
into the products to be treated, place them in the cell and
close the door.
2The screen displays the temperature detected by the
core probe (in the example 55°C | 131°F).
3Press the “START” key to start the cycle.
4In the screen that appears, the cycle in progress is
shown on the top left (e.g. delicate +3°C | 37°C) and on
the right the percentage of completion (e.g. 90%).
5Pressing the symbol displays for 3 seconds:
• the air temperature,
• the temperature detected by the core probe
• the cycle duration.
Pressing the screen is put into stand-by but the cycle
continues.
At the end of the set time, the cycle ends and an acoustic
signal is emitted.
To interrupt the cycle prematurely, press the “STOP” key.
After cooling or freezing
(maintenance phase)
At the end of a cooling or freezing cycle, the maintenance
phase of the treated products begins, to keep them in
temperature until their removal which must take place in the
shortest possible time.
Do not use the blast chiller to store the already treated
products but remove and store them:
• in the refrigerator at a temperature of 0/+3°C | 32/37°F
where they can be kept for up to 5 days (cooling);
• in a freezer at a constant temperature of -18/-20°C |
0/-4°F (freezing). They can be consumed also after
3/18 months (depending on the type of product) as long as
the cold chain is complied with.
Chilled and/or frozen food must be specially covered and
protected (with film, with an airtight or better still
vacuum-sealed lid) and marked with an adhesive label on
which the contents, day of preparation and assigned expiry
date are stated in indelible ink.
