• BLAST FREEZING (-18°C)
This function freezes the product completely to a temperature of -18°C in less than 4 hours.
The rapidity of the process prevents formation of macrocrystals essential to ensure that the
product retains its original consistency and quality when thawed for consumption.
• AUTOMATIC CONSERVATION
At the end of each cycle (chilling or freezing), the appliance will automatically switch to the
required storage temperature.
Two different end-cycle modes are available for each cycle:
• BY TEMPERATURE - the cycle ends when the probe reaches the required temperature.
• TIMED - cycle length is pre-set
IMPORTANT: work cycles and modes can only be selected when the appliance is ON (LED
on push -button 6 off)
5.2 SOFT BLAST CHILLING BY TEMPERATURE (pre-cooked, hot foods)
• To select this cycle, press push-button 2 (relative LED lights up), then press push-but-
ton 5 to select the temperature mode (LED 5A on)
• Insert the core probe into the core of the product to be chilled.
• Start up the cycle by pressing push-button 6 . LED 5A and those relative to the push-
buttons pressed illuminate throughout the cycle, while LEDs 13 flash.
• Display 15 indicates the maximum blast chilling time (starting temperature to end of
the blast chilling temperature - factory setting - 90 minutes).
• The temperature measured by the core probe is shown by display 16 .
• The instrument timer starts the countdown of the maximum blast chilling time as soon as the
temperature measured by the core probe falls below the temperature of +65°C (the dot at
the bottom right of display 15 flashes).
• During the blast chilling cycle, the air temperature is around 0°C.
This function is designed to guarantee uniform cooling of the product, preventing frost for-
mation on the surfaces. During the blast chilling cycle, the compressor may therefore stop
and restart, depending on the reading of the cell temperature probe.
• The blast chilling phase ends only when the core probe (inserted in the product core) indi-
cates that the set blast chilling temperature (+3°C) has been reached as signalled by an
intermittent beep for a minute. During the beep, LEDs 13 and 14 flash.
Display 16 indicates the temperature inside the cell, while display 15 shows
blast chilling time reset to zero.
