Ambient temperature and air exchange
The performance of the device is guaranteed up to an ambient temperature of 32°C provided there is a
suitable air exchange as indicated in paragraph 2.3.
2.5
Final checks
Once the device has been positioned and electrically connected:
•
check that the electrical connection has been correctly made;
•
wait at least 4 hours before powering up the device, thus giving the thermodynamic circuit time to
stabilise.
2.6
Protective devices
The device is equipped with the following protective devices:
•
fuse on power board to protect against overloading;
•
thermal cut-off switch in compressor to protect against overloading and malfunctions;
•
double circuit-breaker to protect against malfunctions by the heating element.
3.
USE
This device is intended mainly for the blast chilling and blast freezing of foods. If foods are cooked and blast
chilled, they maintain their sensory properties for 5-7 days; if foods are blast frozen, they maintain their
consistency and original flavour after thawing.

Preliminary internal cleaning
Once electrically connected and positioned, before turning the device on the inside of the cell must be
thoroughly cleaned using a soft cloth and neutral detergent. When finished, remove any cleaning residue.
Do not use stainless steel scrapers, abrasive, acidic or aggressive substances that may irreparably damage
the internal surfaces.
3.3
The core probe
The core probe is an accessory used to measure the temperature inside foods.
In programmes including use of the core probe, the process automatically ends when the set food
temperature is reached.
If the core probe is not connected to the device and the user wishes to use the probe mode, the message
"Connect probe to start programme" appears on the display.
Correct use involves the insertion of the probe into the food before the programme starts.
