Installation
Note: Not for use in vans or trailers, food
trucks or similar vehicles.
Note: If the unit has not been stored or
moved in an upright position, let it stand
upright for approximately 12 hours before
operation. If in doubt allow to stand.
1. Remove the appliance from the packaging.
Make sure that all protective plastic film and
coatings are thoroughly removed from all
surfaces.
2. To optimize performance and longevity, ensure
a minimum clearance of 2.5cm is maintained
between the unit and walls and other objects,
with a minimum 20cm clearance on the top.
NEVER LOCATE NEXT TO A HEAT SOURCE.
Note: Before using the appliance for the
first time, clean the interior with soapy
water then dry well.
3. Set the brakes on the castors to keep the
appliance in position.
Reversing the door
Depending on the location of the appliance, it may
be necessary to change the direction the door
opens by changing the side of the door handle.
• Unplug the appliance.
• Should a product issue occur as a result of
reversing the door, any repair action required
would be chargeable. If you require an
engineer to carry out the task, please call a
Polar agent.
• For details, please refer to instructions on
Pages 62-65.
Operation
Storing Food
To get the best results from your POLAR appliance,
follow these instructions:
• It is important that food entering the Blast
Chiller/Freezer does not exceed a temperature
of 90°C.
• It is recommended that metal containers /
trays are used as other materials such as
plastic or polystyrene containers will act as an
insulator and extend blast chilling times.
• Sufficient space must be left between products
in order to guarantee a sufficient flow of cold
air. Ensure product is not in contact with the
internal walls of the unit, and leave sufficient
gaps between trays.
• Never obstruct the inlet of the evaporator fans.
• Products that are more difficult to chill because
of their composition and size should be placed
in the centre of the unit.
• Blast chilling data refers to standard products
(low fat content) with a thickness below
50 mm: therefore avoid overlaying products
on trays or the insertion of pieces with a
much higher thickness, as this will lead to
an extension of blast chilling times. Always
distribute the product well on the trays and in
the case of thick pieces decrease the amount
to blast chill.
• Limit the number of times and the duration of
time the doors are opened.
• The chiller should be used for storage for short
periods only.
• When removing product that has undergone
blast chilling/shock freezing, always wear
gloves to protect hands from cold burns.
Insert the food probe
• Before selecting which cycle to use, the probe
must be inserted into the food. This allows
the internal temperature of the food to be
measured.
• It is important that the probe is correctly
connected to the unit, or an alarm will activate
and the appliance will not function.
Note: To prevent bacterial contamination
or contamination of any other biological
nature, the needle probe must be
disinfected after use.
