ment as far as they will go, as close as

3.2 Operating tips

Before starting up the appliance, clean the
inside of the cell thoroughly.

3.2.1 Pre-cooling

Before using the appliance for the first
time, or after a prolonged period of disuse,
pre-cool the cell by running an empty
cycle until the set operating temperature
has been reached.
To ensure optimal performance without any
alteration to food quality: arrange food
products in such a way as to favour the cir­culation of cold air throughout the cell;
open the door

as little as possible.

3.2.2 Loading the appliance
a) Ensure that foods to be chilled and/or

frozen are separate and do not have a
thickness greater than 50-80 mm. Do
not load the appliance beyond the
quantity recommended by the manufac­turer.

possible to the evaporator.

d) Position the core probe at the centre of

the largest product or food item; make
sure that the tip of the probe does not
protrude or touch the tray.
The probe must be cleaned and sani­tised before each new cycle (operation)
to prevent inadvertent contamination.

b) Ensure that there is sufficient clearance

between trays to enable free air circula­tion.
If the appliance is not completely full,
distribute the trays and foods evenly
throughout the available space.

e) Avoid covering the trays and/or contain-

ers with insulating covers or film. The
more the product is insulated, the more
time is required for chilling or freezing.
Trays must be packaged when the prod­uct has been chilled, before being
placed in storage.
