Electrical connection for Great Britain and Ireland only

Warning - this appliance must be earthed

Fuse replacement If the mains lead of this appliance
is fitted with a BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to
change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.S.T.A.
approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as
follows:

1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).

2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.

3. Refit both into plug.

Important:

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a
fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not
be used until a correct replacement is fitted.
Correct replacement are identified by the colour
insert or the colour embossed in words on the base
of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your
local electrical store.

For the Republic of Ireland only

The information given in respect of Great Britain
will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and

socket is also used, the 2-pin, side earth type.

Socket outlet / plug (valid for both countries)

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlet, please contact After-sales Service for further
instruction. Please do not attempt to change plug
yourself. This procedure needs to be carried out by a

Energy-saving tips

•

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room
far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly
to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.

Before using the appliance

• To guarantee adequate ventilation follow
installation instructions.

To ensure best use of your appliance, carefully
read the operating instructions which contain a
description of the product and useful advice.
Keep these instructions for future reference.

1. After unpacking the appliance, make sure it is

not damaged and that the door closes properly.
Any damage must be reported to the dealer
within 24 hours of delivery of the appliance.

2. Wait at least two hours before switching the

appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant
circuit is fully efficient.

3. Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.

4. This product is a "blast chiller" not a food

conservator, as a consequence, then, cannot be
used for food conservation. After the selected
program is over, food must be taken and put in a
fridge or freezer.

Precautions and general recommendations

INSTALLATION

• Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g. parquet)
when moving the appliance.

• Install and level the appliance on a floor strong
enough to take its weight and in a place suitable
for its size and use.

• The appliance is arranged for operation in places
where the temperature comes within the following
ranges, according to the climatic class given on
the rating plate. The appliance may not work
properly if it is left for a long time at a
temperature outside the specified range.

Climatie Class

3 25 60
4 30 55
5 40 40

• Make sure the voltage specified on the rating
plate corresponds to that of your home.

Amb. temperature

Relative humidity

(%)

• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately
after taking them out of the freezer since they
may cause cold burns.

• Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it
from the power supply.

• Do not store glass containers with liquids in the
freezer compartment since they may break.

• Avoid storing unwrapped food in direct contact
with internal surfaces of the freezer compartment.

• Do not directly touch internal walls or frozen
food when taking it out the freezer or, if you need
to open the door in the middle of the process,
because this could cause burns.

The Manufacturer declines any liability for
injury to persons or animals or damage to
property if the above advice and precautions are
not respected.

SAFE USE

• Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids or
gas in the vicinity of this or other electrical
appliances. The fumes can cause fires or
explosions.

Foreword

The blast chiller is an appliance derived from the professional sector intended for food blast chilling, rapid
freezing and rapid cooling of beverages.
The products, cooked and rapidly cooled with the blast chiller, retain their original high quality for 5/7 days
while rapidly frozen food, once defrosted, do not collapse and maintain their consistency and their original
flavor.

Use

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE
USER
Important! Do not block the lower air intake of

the blast chiller; the appliance may overheat and
become damaged.

BEFORE USING THE BLAST CHILLER

We provide below some ideas for using the blast
chiller at best.

Preliminary cleaning of the cell

Before starting up the machine again, remove the
protective film from the internal and external
surfaces. Carefully clean inside the cell using a soft
cloth and a mild detergent.
It is recommended not to use wire sponges,
scrapers or abrasive, acidic or aggressive
substances that could irreparably damage the
stainless steel surfaces (fig. 1).
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly making sure to
have first closed, with the plug provided, the drain
on the bottom of the internal cell. Collect water
with a sponge.

Fig. 1

Positioning of the grid with “core probe”
support

The grid with “core probe” support must be placed
at the center of the cell so
that the probe, once put back after use, remains in
the correct position. (fig. 2)

NOTIONS ON POSSIBLE OPERATION MODES

Operation with “core probe”

The core probe is a device that is housed on a grid
included in the supply and serves for detecting the

YES!

temperature at the center of the products to be cooled
or frozen rapidly.
When the sensor detects that the temperature at the
center of the product has reached a temperature of +
3°C (rapid blasting) or -18°C (rapid freezing), the
blast chiller goes into storage mode. For use, the
probe must be penetrated into the food to cool/freeze
before the cycle start.

NO! NO!

Fig. 3

Important! The core probe must be inserted deep into the center of the product, making sure it does not
come out (fig. 3) and must be handled with care as it is pointed. At the end of the blast chilling/rapid
freezing cycle, place it in the support after it has been cleaned with a soft cloth and warm water.

Important! If there are products of different sizes, insert the probe into the piece of greater size.

Operation

The blast chilling and rapid freezing cycles can be set either in “time” or in “core probe” mode and the
electronic board manages them automatically. If the “core probe” is placed in the food, at the beginning of
the cycle the blast chiller goes into “core probe” mode. If the “core probe” is not inserted, the blast chiller
goes into “time” mode.

APPLIANCE POSSIBILITY OF USE

“Hard” Blast chilling

This cycle rapidly reduces the temperature of food up to + 3°C in a maximum time of 90 minutes. The
blast chilling cycle can be carried out in “time” or “core probe” mode, the switching is automatic. At the
end of the blast chilling cycle, the device goes into storage mode while maintaining a temperature of the air
inside the cell between + 3°C and + 4°C.

“Soft” Blast chilling

This cycle has the same settings of the “Hard” cycle but is recommended for delicate foods such as creams,
confectionery products.

Rapid freezing

This cycle rapidly reduces the temperature of food up to + -18°C in a maximum time of 270 minutes. The
rapid freezing cycle can be carried out in “time” or “core probe” mode, the switching is automatic. At the
end of the freezing cycle, the device goes into storage mode while maintaining a temperature of the air
inside the chamber between -18°C and -19°C.

Drinks rapid cooling cycle

The cycle is dedicated to cooling of beverages in bottles or cans.

Important! The duration of the “storage mode” is unlimited; the cycle can be interrupted only by a new
operator command.

It is recommended to NOT use the device as a simple “storage unit” and to NOT open/close the door
countless times during this function.
The “storage mode” is intended as a temporary stage between the blast chilling or
fast freezing and the refrigerated storage that must take place in a normal
refrigerator or freezer.
