3. ADVICE TO ENSURE EFFICIENT APPLIANCE OPERATION
3.1 SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
In the event of emergency, shut down the appliance by swit-
c
hing o power at the main panel, by means of the knife
switch or by removing the plug from the power socket.
3.2 OPERATING TIPS
B
efore starting up the appliance, clean the inside of the cell
thoroughly.
3.2.1 Pre-cooling
Before using the appliance for the first time, or after a pro-
longed period of disuse, pre-cool the cell by running an
empty cycle until the set operating temperature has been
reached.
To ensure optimal performance without any alteration to
food quality:
• arrange food products in such a way as to favour the circu-
lation of cold air throughout the cell;
• open the door as little as possible.
3.2.2 Loading the appliance
a) Ensure that foods to be chilled and/or frozen are separate
and do not have a thickness greater than 50-80 mm. Do not
load the appliance beyond the quantity recommended by
the manufacturer.
b) Ensure that there is sucient clearance between trays to ena-
ble free air circulation.
If the appliance is not completely full, distribute the trays and
foods evenly throughout the available space.
c) Position trays inside the tray compartment as far as they will
go, as close as possible to the evaporator.
d) Position the core probe at the centre of the largest product
or food item; make sure that the tip of the probe does not
p
rotrude or touch the tray.
The probe must be cleaned and sanitised before each new
cycle (operation) to prevent inadvertent contamination.
e) Avoid covering the trays and/or containers with insulating
covers or film. The more the product is insulated, the more
time is required for chilling or freezing.
Trays must be packaged when the product has been chilled,
before being placed in storage.
