Description
2.5 Blast Chiller Advantages
Your blast chiller allows you to quickly cool
foodstuffs and to freeze them rapidly in
order to retain their freshness and
guarantee them a long lifetime.
Blast chilling and rapid freezing help
preserve the flavour, aroma, colour and
nutritional properties of foodstuffs.
• Blast chilling cooked foods to an internal
temperature of +3°C minimises bacterial
proliferation, which is at its maximum
between 65°C and 8°C.
• Rapid freezing to -18°C allows frozen
food to be preserved for a longer
period – usually several months more. It
also prevents the formation of “freezer
burn” (large ice crystals which damage
and break the cell walls of the
foodstuffs). When defrosted, the
foodstuffs will not lose liquid and will
retain their consistency and taste.

3.1 Instructions
Improper use
Danger of personal injury or
damage to the appliance
• Keep the door closed when performing
any operation on the appliance.
• Protect your hands by wearing oven
gloves when moving food inside the
appliance.
• Do not touch the heating elements.
• Do not allow children to approach the
appliance when it is in operation.
• Do not place trays or containers on the
bottom of the appliance.
• Do not cover trays or containers with
insulating films or covers.
• Ensure that the containers are suitable
for use at low temperatures.
• Avoid using plastic containers.
• Arrange the food carefully inside the
appliance so that air can circulate
correctly.
• Do not stack the foods on top of each
other.
• Handle the temperature probe with care
as it has a sharp point.
• Do not use or leave flammable materials
near the appliance.
Improper use
Bacteriological contamination
hazard
• Take great care when handling and
consuming raw foodstuffs, in particular
fresh fish and cephalopods, as there is
the risk of contamination from Anisakis,
a parasite which is hazardous to
human health. This risk can be
eliminated by cooking to a minimum
temperature of 65°C, or by freezing
to -18°C and then holding at -20°C
for at least 24 hours.
• In order to retain the properties of hot
foods, do not allow them to remain at
room temperature before blast chilling
or freezing them.
The formation of water or
condensate inside the appliance is
a natural phenomenon and does
not indicate a malfunction.
62
Use
3.2 Preliminary operations
1. Remove any protective film from the
outside or inside of the appliance,
including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate) from the
accessories and inside of the appliance.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance
accessories (see 4 Cleaning and
maintenance).
4. To remove any manufacturing residue,
clean the inside of the appliance
thoroughly with a soft cloth and neutral,
non-abrasive detergent (see “Cleaning
the inside of the appliance.”).
5. You must set the current time in order to
start using the appliance (see “First use”).
3.3 Using the accessories
Racks
The racks must be inserted into the side
guides until they come to a complete stop.
• The mechanical safety locks that prevent
the racks from being removed
accidentally must face downwards and
towards the back of the appliance.
Temperature probe
Sharp point
Injury hazard
• Handle the probe with care and do not
touch its tip.
Insert the probe into the food before starting
the blast chill by probe cycle or hot
functions.
• The temperature probe must be inserted
into the middle of the food without going
through it.
• For different sized pieces or irregular
foodstuffs, the probe should be placed in
the largest piece/thickest area.
EN
Insert the probe transversely,
ensuring at least 3/4 of its length is
inside the foodstuff.
When you have finished using the probe,
clean it with a soft cloth and warm water,
dry it carefully and return it to its housing.
63
Use
3.4 Using the Blast Chiller
First use
When using the appliance for the first time,
or after a power failure, the
symbol will flash on the display. In order to
be able to start any cooking function, the
current time must be set (if the oven is being
turned on for the first time, it is also
recommended you set the required
language).
The appliance language is set to
“English” by default.
Arranging Foodstuffs
Arrange the foods evenly inside the
appliance, ensuring you do not stack them
or place them on top of each other in order
to allow air to circulate.
Use the rack for improved air
circulation.
64
When first connecting or after the
power has been cut for a time it
will be necessary to wait a few
seconds before you can interact
with the appliance.
Target Temperature
The temperature shown on the display
