2.11. DISPOSING OF THE MACHINE
The machine must be demolished and disposed of
with respect to the Standards in force in the country of
installation, especially regarding the compressor
refrigerant gas and lubricant oil.
INFORMATION FOR THE USERS
On implementation of the 2011/65/CE,
2012/19/UE and 2003/108/CE Directives,
relative to the reduction of use of dangerous
substances in electric and electronic
appliances, as well as disposal of waste.
The barred bin symbol on the appliance or package,
indicates that at the end of the product's life, it must be
collected separately from other waste.
The selective collection of this appliance at the end of
its life is organised and managed by the manufacturer.
The user that wishes to dispose of this equipment must
therefore contact the manufacturer and follow the
system that the same has adopted to allow the selective
collection of the appliance at the end of its life span.
The suitable selective collection for successive start-up
of the equipment abandoned for recycling, treatment
and compatible environmental disposal contributes to
preventing possible negative effects on the environment
and favours the re-use and/or recycling of the materials
of which the equipment is made.
The abusive disposal of the product by the owner, leads
to the application of administrative sanctions envisioned
by the Standard.
Avoid leakage of refrigerant gas in the environment by
using suitable pressurised recipients and instruments to
transfer the pressurised fluid. This operation must be
entrusted to personnel skilled in refrigeration plants.

2.12. R404A GAS SAFETY SHEET
• Identification of dangers
High exposure to inhalation can have anaesthetic
effects. Very high exposure can cause anomalies of the
heart beat and cause sudden death. The neubulised or
sprayed product can cause cold burns to the eyes or
skin. Dangerous for the ozone layer.
• First aid measures
Inhalation
Move the accident victim away from exposure and keep
him/her warm and rested. Give oxygen if necessary.
Perform artificial respiration if breathing stops or gives
signs of stopping. In the case of cardiac arrest, perform
external cardiac compression.
Request immediate medical assistance.
Contact with the skin
Thaw the affected areas using water.
Remove contaminated clothing.
Attention: clothing can stick to the skin in the case of
cold burns. In the case of contact with the skin, wash
immediately with plenty of warm water. If symptoms
occur (irritation or the formation of blisters) request
medical assistance.
Contact with the eyes
Wash immediately with an eyewash or clean water,
keeping the eyelids open for at least 10 minutes.
Request immediate medical assistance.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting.
If the accident victim is conscious, rinse the mouth with
water and make him/her drink 200-300 ml of water.
Request immediate medical assistance.
Further medical care
Symptomatic treatment and support therapy when
indicated. Do not give adrenalin and similar
sympathomimetic drugs following exposure, due to the
risk of cardiac arrhythmia with possible cardiac arrest.
• Fire-prevention measures
Not inflammable.
The heat decomposition causes the emission of very
toxic and corrosive vapours (hydrogen chloride,
hydrogen fluoride). In the case of fire, use respiratory
aids and suitable protective clothing.
Extinguishers
Use extinguishing agents that are appropriate for the
fire.
• Use extinguishing agents that are appropriate for
the fire.
Inhalation
Higher atmospheric concentrations can cause anaesthetic
effects with possible loss of consciousness.
Very high exposure can cause anomalies of the heart
beat and cause sudden death.
Higher concentrations can cause asphyxia due to the
reduced content of oxygen in the atmosphere.
Contact with the skin
Sprays of liquid and the nebulised liquid can cause
cold burns.
It is improbable that it is dangerous due to cutaneous
absorption.
Repeated and prolonged contact can cause the removal
of sebaceous matter, with consequent dryness, cracking
and dermatitis.
• Ecological information
It decomposes relatively quickly in the lower atmosphere
(troposphere). The decomposition products are highly
dispersed and therefore have a very low concentration.
Does not affect photochemical smog (i.e. it does not lie
within the volatile organic compounds -VOC- according to
that established by the UN/ECE agreement).
The ozone destruction potential (ODP) is 0.055
measure in comparison with a standard ODP equal to
1 for the cfc11 (according to uNeP definitions). The
Global Warming Potential of the gas is 3260.
The substance is governed by the Montreal Protocol
(revision dated 1992).
The discharges of the product into the atmosphere do
not cause contamination of waters in the long term.
• Considerations regarding disposal
The best solution consists in recovery and recycling of
the product.
If this is not possible, destruction must take place in an
authorised plant equipped to absorb and neutralise the
acid gases and the other toxic products.
• Measures in the case of accidental leaks
Ensure adequate personal protection (with the use of
means of protection for the respiratory tract) during the
elimination of spills.
If the conditions are sufficiently safe, isolate the source
of the leak. In the presence of spills of modest size,
leave the material to evaporate on the condition that
there is suitable ventilation.
Large leaks
-ventilate the area;
-contain the leaking material with sand, earth or other
suitable absorbent material;
-prevent the liquid from penetrating drains, sewers,
basements and work holes, because the vapours can
create a suffocating atmosphere.
• Handling
Avoid the inhalation of high concentrations of vapours.
The atmospheric concentrations must be reduced to a
minimum and kept at the minimum level reasonably
possible, below the professional exposure limit.
The vapours are heavier than the air and therefore the
formation of high concentrations near to the ground is
possible, where ventilation is usually low. In these cases,
ensure adequate ventilation or wear suitable protection
devices for the respiratory tract with air reserve. Avoid
contact with naked flames and hot surfaces as irritant and
toxic decomposition products can be formed. Avoid
contact between the liquid and the eyes/skin.

3.1. USE
The temperature blast chillers have been designed to
blast the temperature of just-cooked food, in order to
preserve them longer, maintaining their organoleptic
characteristics unchanged.
The ICY series has been studied to make this operation
as easy as possible: touch screen, clear and essential
information for users who approach this new system;
the possibility of customising for more expert users. the
possibility of customising for more expert users.
The ICY series can perform
2 types of blasting:

FIRST TURN ON
CHAMBER PRE-COOLING
3.4. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Before introducing the product in the chamber,
it is recommended to carry out pre-cooling.
1Power the blast chiller and leave it at “Stand-by”
for about 60 minutes.
This way the sump resistance will have time
to heat the compressor.
This avoids breakdown at the first turn-on,

3.6.1. Loading products
Do not cover the trays and containers with lids or plastic
wrap: the greater the food surface exposed to cold air,
the less time will be needed for blast chilling.
It is recommended to use trays and containers as shallow
as possible, and anyhow not more than 6.5 cm deep.
For better results, load the containers with a product
weighing 3.5 kg and with a maximum thickness of 8
cm for blast chilling, or 5 cm for shock freezing. For
difficult products and/or fats, reduce thickness even
more.
Make sure to leave enough space between the trays
so that air can circulate adequately.

3.5. STOPPING MODES
3.6. ADVICE FOR USE
Before starting the machine, the inside of the cell must
be cleaned well (see par. 4.2).
Fig. 8
To stop the machine
in an emergency, press the Stand-By key
and turn the power off on
the control board (Fig. 15).

3.6.3. Pre-cooling
3.6.2. Loading the machine
Before a cycle of blast chilling and/or shock freezing, it
is essential to pre-cool the chamber in order to further
reduce work time. Therefore, before inserting the product
to be blast chilled, carry out an empty SOFT or HARD
cycle.
Do not leave the hot product inside of the
chamber, in order to avoid damaging the
machine. As soon as the product to be
treated is inserted, start the blast chilling
or shock freezing cycle right away.
3.6.4. Core probe
The core probe must be positioned correctly at the
centre of the largest piece or cut of the product. Make
sure that the point of the probe does not come out of the
product or touch the tray. The probe must be cleaned
and sanitised before each work cycle in order to avoid
unwanted contamination.
For better results, load the GN1/1 containers with a
product weighing 3.5 kg and with a maximum thickness
of 8 cm for blast chilling, or 5 cm for shock freezing.
For difficult products and/or fats, reduce thickness even
more.
If the machine is not loaded completely, concentrate
the trays in the middle of the blast chiller, placing an
empty tray (A) above the last one.
Position the trays in the innermost part of the tray-
holder, making sure that they are as close as possible
to the evaporator.
Do not overload the machine beyond what the manufac-
turer has established (Tab. “Tray yield and capacity”).
