air inlet of the condensing unit when the appliance is on, so as not to compromise its performance and safety.

! Never stretch the power cable.

4.1. Safety Devices

During the running of appliance, some control devices may activate and govern the correct running of the machine. In other cases, they may deactivate parts or the whole machine, to put the appliance in safe conditions. The main controls are listed.

Door micro switch

If the door is opened, the magnetic switch placed on the control board opens and, during blast-chilling or shock-freezing, evaporator fans go off and a warning message appears on the display at the same time. This condition may also be determined when the door is not perfectly aligned to or near the control board: in this case with the machine in the STOP phase, no cycle may be started.

If a U.V. sterilisation cycle is active, the functioning of the U.V. lamp is interrupted. The cycle continues when the door is closed.

Protective Fuses

Some protection fuses in the general power supply line are activated in case of overload. Other fuses are prepared for the evaporator fans.

Thermal relay

In the case of faulty operation that results in exceeding the current absorption limits of the electric system, the thermal relay will operate to stop the machine. This intervention is

In order to guarantee hygiene and protect the foodstuffs from contamination, the elements that come into direct or indirect contact with the foodstuffs must be cleaned very well along with the surrounding areas. These operations must only be performed using detergents that can be used with foodstuffs, avoiding inflammable products or those that contain substances that are harmful to personal health.

In the case of prolonged inactivity, as well as disconnecting all the supply lines, it is necessary to accurately clean all internal and external parts of the appliance.

shown on the display by means of the wording “HA”. If the circuit breaker relay has intervened, it must be restored manually (see specific chapter).

High and low pressure switches

If, due to environmental conditions or faulty operation, the minimum/maximum pressure values in the refrigerating circuit should become excessive, the maximum/minimum safety pressure switch (in the 5 Pans version, only the maximum safety pressure switch) will operate to stop the appliance. The machine can be switched on again only after the pressure has returned to an acceptable value. If a high pressure alarm should occur, the wording “HP” will appear on the display. The wording “LP” will appear if there is a low pressure alarm.

Evaporator Fan Micro switch

If the deflector is opened to inspect the evaporator or fans, this micro switch positioned on the evaporator deflector, deactivates machine functioning. Closure of the deflector with the successive disappearance of the alarm on the display, restores normal machine functioning.

5. USE AND FUNCTIONING

5.1. Description of the Functioning Cycles

The following are brief descriptions and types of operating cycles.

Temperature Blast Chilling

This cycle allows a reduction in temperature in the product core from +90°C to +3°C as quickly as possible and within a MAX time of 90 minutes. The cycle ends when the value +3°C, read by the needle probe, is reached.

Time Blast Chilling

This cycle allows a reduction in temperature in the product core from +90°C to +3°C during the set time: we remind you that it is advisable to run some previous testing temperature cycles so to determine the necessary time for a correct product blast chilling process. Do not forget that acquired times and eventually memorised have to be considered valid for exclusive use of the same type of product and in the same quantities per cycle.

Intensive timed blast chilling

For the use of this cycle, the information contained in the previous paragraph is applicable concerning the time which can be set and the final temperature of the product. The use of this function, which makes it possible to reduce chilling times, is recommended for foods with the following characteristics:

Ø Packaged foods or foods in containers Ø Foods with a thickness greater than 50

Ø Foods with a high fat content

Temperature Shock Freezing

This cycle allows a reduction in temperature in the product core from +90°C to -18°C as quickly as possible and within a MAX time of 270 minutes. The cycle ends when the value -18°C, read by the needle probe, is reached.

ENGLISH

Time Shock Freezing

This cycle allows a reduction in temperature in the product core from +90°C to -18°C during the set time: we remind you that it is advisable to run some previous automatic test cycles so to determine the necessary time for a correct product blast chilling process. Do not forget that acquired times and eventually memorised have to be considered valid for exclusive use of the same type of product and in the same quantities per cycle.

SOFT Time Shock Freezing

The use of this function is recommended in the presence of foodstuffs that fear a large initial heat shock or foodstuffs with different ingredients as composition (e.g.: fresh pasta) and therefore require slower and homogeneous shock freezing.

Preservation

At the end of each cycle as described above, either temperature or time cycle, the preservation cycle will be started automatically, with no time limit. The freezer temperature will refer to last cycle, just concluded:

Ø + 3°C for blast chilling Ø -25°C for shock-freezing

Warning: use of this cycle is recommended only for short periods prior to storage of the product in a storage unit or in case of emergency, so as to avoid such a limited use of a machine with such high potential.

Defrosting

The frost forming on the evaporator following the deposit of humidity from the product can jeopardise the correct functioning of the appliance. A defrosting cycle must be carried out to restore full functionality.

The defrosting cycle ends automatically when the set temperature is reached.

ENGLISH

5.2. Description of the Controls
