INSTALLATION
Using the screws that are tted to the underside of
the cabinet, slide the guide on using the key hole
slot, then fully tighten the screws.
Once in place, insert the retaining screw at the front
of each guide.
SHELF/SLIDE FITTING
When positioning slides on
standard cabinets and
counters, present slide to
racking by holding it in the
opposite hand to the side of
the cabinet to that which
they are to be applied.
Present the slide at a 45°
angle (See Figure 1). When in
place, let slide drop into
position to create a
horizontal ledge on which
the shelves will sit.
LOADING / SHELF DISTRIBUTION
Before loading, allow the appliance to reach its
normal operating temperature.
The maximum temperature of product entering
the appliance must not exceed +90°C (194°F).
Regulations state that product should be placed in
the appliance within 30 minutes from completion of
cooking.
The packaging of food and the way in which it is
loaded or placed within the equipment can have
a signicant eect on the time within which the
temperature can be reduced to the required level
and the amount of food which can be processed
in each chilling or freezing batch. (Maximum food
thickness 50mm).
When blast chilling always use metal or foil
containers which are good conductors. Plastic or
polyurethane containers insulate the food from
the cold air. When chilling unportioned food we
recommend the use of the appropriate gastronorm
tray or similar. Likewise, placing lids or covers on
food will also increase the chilling time but may be
of some use when processing some delicate foods
to avoid dehydration, When blast freezing bear in
mind how easy the nished product will be to thaw.
Always load your machine in such a way that it is
possible for the cold air to contact all side of the
containers. Avoid stacking containers directly on
top of one another as this will drastically extend the
chilling time and take special care not to block the
air ducts.
Always load the machine before selecting the
blast facility. Unless it is unavoidable do not open
the door of the appliance whilst the blast cycle is
engaged.
When loading the appliance / trolley please ensure
the load is equally distributed throughout the
appliance and ensure air can circulate around and
through stored products.
STORAGE TIMES
Chilled foods can be stored for up to 5 days at
between 0°C (32°F) and +3°C (37°F).
Frozen foods can be stored for longer periods, in
general for up to 8 weeks without loss of nutrients
or palatability. Beyond 8 weeks those foods with a
high fat content may display some signs of rancidity.
Nevertheless, some other foods can be stored for
periods longer than 8 weeks.
Frozen food must be stored at between -18°C (0°F)
and -22°C (-8°F) or below.
Important: Once thawed, frozen food should
not be re-frozen.
