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. V
ery 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. V
ery 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. OPERATION
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:
DELICATE +3° STRONG +3°
and 2 types of freezing:
DELICATE -18° STRONG -18°

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.
0,5-2 cm
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).
Page 20
20
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 tray­holder, making sure that they are as close as possible to the evaporator.
Do not overload the machine beyond what the manufac­turer has established (Tab. “Tray yield and capacity”).

3.6.5. Temperature
Avoiding having the cooked food to be blast chilled and/or shock frozen remain for long at room tempera­ture. The more moisture is lost, the less food softness will be preserved. Start the blast chilling and/or shock freezing cycle as soon as preparation and/or cooking has ended. Make sure to put the food inside the blast chiller at a tempera­ture that is not below +70°C. Cooked food can enter into the blast chiller even at very high temperatures (>100°C), as long as the chamber is pre-cooled. Remember however that reference times for the cycles start at +90°C (from +90°C to +3°C or the blast chilling cycle; from +90°C to -18°C for the shock freezing cycle).
3.6.6. Preservation
Blast chilled and/or shock frozen food must be properly covered and protected (with plastic wrap, a hermetic lid or, even better, vacuum-packed) and marked with an adhesive label upon which the content, day of prepara­tion and the assigned expiration date are carried, with indelible writing.
The blast chilled food must be preserved in a refrigerated cabinet at a constant tempera­ture of +2°C.
The shock frozen food must be preserved in a freezer cabinet at a constant temperature of -20°C.
Do not use the blast chiller as a normal refrigerator!

3.7. SANIGEN
What is it:
Sanige n is a sanitisin g syste m whic h release s activ e ion s in orde r to destro y th e microbe s in th e treate d ai r an d on the surfaces in contact with them. Since air is the vehicle for the sanitising process, there are no area s whic h ar e inaccessible . A complet e sanitatio n is guaranteed everywhere. Sanitisin g occur s on th e surfac e of th e foo d product s and , mos t of all , in th e atmosphere , whic h is th e vehicl e of 97 % of bacterial contaminations for food.
Absenc e of bacteri a allow s to obtai n th e followin g advan ­tages inside the chamber:
- continuous sanitising of the inside of the cell,
- all surfaces are treated
- there are no unpleasant odours.
When to use it:
Sanigen must be used when the Blast chiller is not perform­ing any cycle.
How to use it:
Sanigen is installed directly in the factory, when requested.

4. MAINTENANCE
4.1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The information and instructions in this chapter are inten­ded for all those who work with the machine: user, main­tenance technician, as well as non-specialised personnel.
4.2. CLEANING THE CELL
Elementary safety Standards
To carry out cleaning and maintenance safely, we recall the safety Standards in par. 1.5 (
Fig. 9) :
It is strictly prohibited to remove the guards and safety devices to carry out routine maintenance. The manufacturing company declines all liability for accidents caused due to lack of compliance with this obligation.
Before starting the machine, the inside of the cell must be cleaned well, as indicated in paragraph 4.2.
do not touch or operate the machine with wet or humid hands or feet, do not insert screwdrivers, kitchen utensils or anything else between the guards and the moving parts before carrying out cleaning or routine maintenance, disconnect the machine from the power supply network, turning off the master switch and pulling the plug. do not pull the power cord to disconnect the machine from the power supply network.
Fig. 9
Do not scrape the surfaces with sharp or abrasive elements.
Do not use abrasives, solvents or thinners.
Do not use cleaning agents containing acetic acid
and derivatives or ammonia;
Do not use the blast chiller in direct contact with products emanating acetic acid and derivatives or ammonia
Always wear protective gloves during the following operations.
The inside of the cell must be cleaned at the end of every work day, in order to guarantee hygiene and to safeguard the quality of the food products treated. A weekly cleaning is recommended. The conformation of the cell and of the internal compo­nents allow them to be cleaned with a cloth or sponge. Clean with water and non-abrasive neutral detergents. Rinsing can be done with a cloth or sponge soaked in water, or with a light water jet (not greater than the network pressure).

4.2.1. Washing the evaporator
Wear protective gloves during the following operations.
HOW TO ACCESS THE EVAPORATOR:
In order to clean the inside of the evaporator, use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the screw located at the right side of the fan-holding panel and turn it to the left.
Do not use sharp objects.
METHODS FOR CLEANING EVAPORATOR
In order to clean the evaporator, a brush can be used with a vertical movement along the direction of the aluminium flaps. When finished, close the fan-holding panel carrying out the operations inversely.
Do not use high pressure water jets
Page 31
31
4.2.2. Emptying condensation
The models with a built-in condensing unit are equipped with a special tray to gather condensation and wash water. It is at the bottom part of the appliance. Empty and clean the tray periodically, pulling it out from beneath the appliance using the appropriate handle.
4.3. CLEANING THE CONDENSER
For Blast chillers with built-in condensing units, access the condenser pulling the front flapped grid with force. For remote condensing units, the air condenser must be kept clean to allow free air flow. This operation, which must be carried out at least every 30 days, can be done with non-metallic brushes in order to remove all dust and down from the condenser flaps. It is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner to avoid dispersing the dust in the area. Use a brush soaked in alcohol if there are oily deposits.
Do not scrape the surfaces with sharp or abrasive elements.
Do not use high pressure water jets
Always wear protective gloves, goggles and masks protecting the respiratory tract for these opera­tions.
