! When using the appliance, never obstruct the

air inlet when the appliance is on, so as not to

compromise its performance and safety.

! Never stretch the power cable.

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.

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

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

mm

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.

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.

At the end of the job, after having cleaned the

compartment, press (the relative LED

switches on) compartment sterilization is

activated using the ultra-violet light; display DY1

shows ‘StE’:

This cycle can be started only with the door

closed and it will be interrupted immediately if the

door is opened during sterilization.

For correct machine efficiency and hygiene, it is in

any case advisable to clean the compartment

thoroughly each time you finish using the

machine.

5.4. Recommendations for Use

Prolonged Inactivity

If the appliance remains inactive for a long period,

proceed as follows:

1. Use the automatic isolating switch to

deactivate connection to the main electrical

line.

2. Clean the appliance and surrounding areas

thoroughly;

3. Spread a thin layer of cooking oil onto the

stainless steel surfaces;

4. Carry out all maintenance operations;

5. Leave the doors ajar to prevent the formation

of mould and/or unpleasant odours.

Recommendations for normal use

In order to ensure correct use of the appliance, it

is good practice to apply the following

recommendations:

! Do not obstruct the zone in front of the

condensing unit in order to favour heat disposal

from the condenser to a maximum.

Always keep the front of the condenser clean.

áDo not insert foodstuffs that are well above

the temperature of 65°C. As well as initially

overloading the machine it can make protections

intervene that prolong temperature descent times.

If possible, a brief external period is useful to

lower the temperature to acceptable values.

Check the planarity of the appliance rest surface.

i Do not stack the materials to be preserved

in contact with the internal walls, so blocking the

circulation of air, which guarantees uniformity of

the internal temperature of the refrigerated

compartment.

i There must be a sufficient space between

the basins and trays used in order to guarantee a

sufficient flow of cold air on the entire product.

Therefore avoid the following positions of trays

and/or basins stated below.

i Never obstruct the inlet of the evaporator

fans.

i Products that are more difficult to chill

because of their composition and size should be

placed in the centre.

Limit the number of times and the duration of time

the doors are opened.

! Blast chilling data refer to standard products

(low fat content) with a thickness below 50 mm;

therefore avoid overlaying products or the

insertion of pieces with a much higher thickness.

This would, in fact, lead to an extension of blast

chilling times. Always distribute the product well

on the trays or basins or in the case of thick

pieces decrease the amount to blast chill.

iAfter blast chilling/shock freezing the

product, it can be stored in a preservation cabinet

after having been duly protected. A tag should be

applied describing the contents of the product,

blast chilling/shock freezing date and expiry date.

When the product has been blast chilled it must

be preserved at a constant temperature of +2°C ,

while if it has been shock frozen it must be

preserved at a constant temperature of -20°C.

i The chiller should be used for storage for

short periods only.

! To prevent bacterial contamination or

contamination of any other biological nature,

the needle probe must be disinfected after

use.

! To extract the product that has undergone blast

chilling or shock freezing, always wear gloves to

protect the hands, as "burns" may occur from the

cold.

i Blast chilling Cycle

With this operating modality the chiller keeps the

temperature of the refrigerating compartment

close to zero during the entire chilling process in

order to ensure a gradual drop in the temperature

of the product to +3°C. In this way, ice crystals do

not form on the surface of the product. This cycle

should be used preferably for products that are

not packed and whose physical/organoleptic

characteristics could be damaged by the

formation of superficial ice (e.g. fish).

i Intensive Blast Chilling Cycle

With this operating mode, at the beginning the

chiller maintains the temperature of the

refrigerating compartment at a much lower than

the value set for normal chilling, in order to

accelerate the drop in temperature of the product.

When the product reaches the fixed temperature

(temperature at which ice could form on the

external surface product) the internal temperature

of the compartment rises to the temperature set

for normal positive chilling. This blast chilling

method should be used preferably for products

that are packed and whose physical/organoleptic

characteristics are not damaged by the formation

of superficial ice.

i Shock freezing Cycle

With this chilling modality the chiller maintains the

temperature value in the compartment below -

18°C, which is the end temperature of shock

freezing. For shock freezing to be successful and

fast, food should be in small pieces, especially if it

has a high fat content. The largest pieces should

be placed in central trays. If it takes longer than

standard time to shock freeze and the sizes

cannot be reduced, decrease the quantity and

precool the chiller compartment by starting an

empty shock freezing cycle before shock freezing

the product.

i Shock freezing Cycle SOFT

In this case, the shock freezing cycle is divided in

two phases that differ depending on the

compartment set point used. The first phase

consists in a cycle around the compartment set

point defined for normal blast chilling. The

passage to the second phase starts when the

core-probe reaches a pre-defined temperature

exchange value or when the time elapsed is equal

to a pre-set percentage of the total time. In the

second phase, the compartment reference set

point will be the same as the shock freezing one.

This type of shock freezing allows a more even

freezing of the product, avoiding the external

formation of ice when the core temperature is still

high.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

6.1. Recommendations for Cleaning and Maintenance

! Activate all envisioned safety devices before

carrying out any maintenance interventions. In

particular, deactivate the electrical power supply

using the automatic isolating switch.

6.2. Routine Maintenance

Routine maintenance consists of daily cleaning of

all the parts which can come into contact with

foodstuffs and the periodic maintenance of the

burners, nozzles and draining pipes.

Correct maintenance allows the user to maximise

performance levels and operating life and

constantly maintain safety requirements.

Do not spray the appliance with direct jets of

water or using high pressure appliances.

Do not use iron wool, brushes or scrapers to clean

the stainless steel as ferrous particles could be

deposited which, on oxidising, could lead to rust.

To remove hardened residues, use wooden or

plastic spatulas or abrasive rubber pads.

During long periods of inactivity, spread a

protective layer on all stainless steel surfaces by

wiping them with a cloth soaked in Vaseline oil

and airing the rooms periodically.

! Do not use products which contain substances

which are harmful and dangerous for personal

health (solvents, petrol etc.).

At the end of the day it is advisable to clean:

Ø the cooling compartment

Ø the appliance.

6.3. Extraordinary Maintenance 10T and 14T

iHave the following operations carried out

periodically by specialised staff:
