Never use any metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong
alkaline solution on any surface.
The relocation of the unit must be performed by qualified personnel. Do not shift
the refrigerator from side to side as this may create leakage point across the
cooling unit piping.
In case of faults or malfunctions, switch off the equipment and do not attempt to
repair it by yourself as doing so may void the warranty. All service and repair
operations must be performed exclusively by a manufacture’s authorized engineer.
(Authorized service technician, trained service personnel, authorized service
personnel)
This application, like any other appliance, must have access to fresh air/oxygen;
 Keep clear of obstruction all ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the
structure for building-in.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process,
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use FLAME to check for gas leak.
Do not under any circumstances try to modify or repair valves, regulator,
connectors, controls or any other appliance. Doing so creates the risk of a gas leak.
1.5 CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
The customer is required to:
Execute the electrical connection of the equipment Prepare the place of installation;

IS792 ECN 4879 Page 7 of 37
Provide consumable materials for cleaning Perform routine maintenance;
In the case of power failures or malfunctions do not open the doors, in order to
maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. If the problem persists
for more than a few hours, move the contents to a more suitable place.
1.6 CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTS
For all technical problems and any requests for technical service, refer exclusively
to the manufacturer’s authorized personnel;
1.7 ORDERING OF SPARE PARTS
Orders of spare parts should be made by consulting the part reference code and the
serial number of your unit. Consult your dealer.
1.8 PRODUCT CONFIGURATION
Blast chillers and shock freezers are machines used to rapidly cool food, both to
prevent the spread of food bacteria and to maintain the qualities, flavour, aromas
and texture of chilled food.These machines are used in three distinct ways:
oTemperature reduction of food down to +3°C
oFreezing of food down to -18°C.
oThawing of food up to max +10°C.
PRODUCTS MUST BE STORED IN ORDER TO ENSURE EFFICIENT AIR
CIRCULATION INSIDE THE UNIT AND SHALL NOT COME OUT OF THE SHELF
PERIMETER.
1.9 RULES OF USAGE
Do not stack foods that need to be blast chilled and/or frozen.
Do not exceed the declared number of kilograms and distribute the product evenly
in the trays.
Blast chilling and shock freezing times always refer to products with a maximum
thickness of 40 mm.
Cool the chamber before performing a blast chilling cycle.
Blast chill only one type of food at a time; different foods have different densities
and therefore cycle executiontimes may vary.
The core probe must be correctly positioned at the centre of the largest piece of the
product, and thetip must never exit the product and/or touch the tray.
To prevent the core probe from breaking, do not insert it into foods characterised by
a temperature higher than 100°C.
The core probe must always be cleaned after use to avoid malfunctioning.
Do not cover foods with a lid or other object; the more isolated the product is, the
more time will beneeded for blast chilling
If foods are inserted with a temperature greater than 70°C, the machine may be
overloaded, increasingblast chilling times and power consumption.
Do not obstruct the ventilation air inlets.
The water drip tray in the blast cell must be positioned under the equipment in the
dedicated tracks.
Make sure the drain pipe is positioned inside the drip tray and free it from any
obstructions.

IS792 ECN 4879 Page 8 of 37
The drip tray must be regularly emptied; to do so, simply extract the tray from the
tracks, empty it and re-insert it back into the tracks.
Do not store explosive substances, such as pressurised containers with flammable
propellants, in this device.
1.10 MATERIALS AND REFRIGERANTS
Materials in contact or potentially in contact with products are in compliance with the
relevant directives. The equipments designed and built so that contact parts can be
cleaned before each use. The refrigerants utilized comply with established
regulations.
