4 - THAWING CYCLE
The defrost cycle has as its purpose to defrost a frozen
food item, guaranteeing health and therefore being
below the temperatures at which bacterial growth occurs
(above 10°C).
The cycle is composed of a rst pre-set time phase,
during which the cell temperature, the humidity and the
speed of the fans can be adjusted; and of a second
preservation phase with undetermined time.
In order to start the defrost cycle, press the key [25]
The following window will appear:
4.1 - Manual THAWING
In order to execute a manual cycle, press the bottom
key of the manual cycle [26], once pressed, the following
window will appear:
In order to change the set points, the window for
changing the value appears, it will be enough to press
above the displayed values. In order to change the cell
set point, just press above the value [27],,in order to
change the defrosting time, press above the value [28] .
You can also choose if the ventilation should be
continuous or discontinuous, just press the symbol
[31b] which will change the graphics with the following
meaning:
Once the time has elapsed, you will go to the preservation
phase (next window), where you can change the
cell temperature set point, ,by pressing above the
corresponding values
Non-continuous Continuous
The cycle is executed only according to the set time,
however if, by any chance, the product has the needle
probe inserted, by pressing the key [31], you can go
from the display of the cell probe to the display of the
needle probe or vice versa.

The programmed defrost cycle consists of three phases:
a rst preservation phase, a second phase of defrosting
with a dened time, and a nal post-defrosting indenite
time preservation phase. The purpose of the cycle is to
obtain defrosting within a particular date and time set
by the user, keeping the food in the blast chiller before
the defrosting process. To obtain this, the user must in
any case know the time necessary to defrost the product
In order to start the Programmed defrost cycle, press
the key [34], the following window will appear:
In order to execute a cycle on a date, press the top key
[35], once pressed, the following window will appear:

4.2 - Programmed THAWING
Now you have to set the nal time by pressing above
the values of the hours and minutes [36], and select the
duration in days of the programme [37].
Should the duration of the programmed defrost cycle
be higher than the defrosting phase, if the set time and
duration in days which determines a period of time is
37
36
lower than the duration provided for defrosting, the
programme cannot be executed and the top left START
key [38] will have a grey background, and it will not
execute any programme. In order to enable it and making
it green, just change either the cycle end time or the
duration days.
In this page, the cycle can be started by pressing the key
[38], or you can continue changing the default parameters
of the 3 phases which compose the programme starting
from phase F1 (pre-defrosting preservation) which is
accessed by pressing the top right arrow [40]. In order
to change the values, it is enough to press above and
access again the change window.
Naturally, the rst phase does not have a time to set for
the duration, such value being obtained for the di󰀨erence
between the total time which is missing at the end and
the provided defrosting duration.
Phase F2 (Defrost) allows the setting or modifying of
this duration, together with the other variables that can
be set. It can be accessed by pressing on F2 [39] or on
the right arrow [40].
The phase F3 (preservation) allows setting the
parameters of this phase of indenite duration. It can be
accessed, by pressing the keys [41] or [42].

can access the temperature settings, by pressing above
the area of the phase you want to change.
If instead, the lower arrow [45] is pressed, you can
access the setting, for every single phase, of the
continuous ventilation (this can be performed even
during the setting phase of the cycle programme).
In order to set the continuous ventilation, just press in
the white boxes provided for each phase [46] until the
green ag appears. In order to stop at any time the cycle,
just press the key [44].

6 - ICE CREAM CYCLE
The Ice Cream cycle is a single phase cycle and of
indenite duration, during which the following elements
can be set: Cell temperature and the timer.
