• Caution!

Do not obstruct the blast chiller’s top and front air vents, otherwise the equipment may overheat and suffer damage.

BEFORE YOU USE THE BLAST CHILLER...

The following instructions will help you make the best use of use the blast chiller.

Preliminary cleaning of the chamber

Before you start the equipment clean the inside of the chamber with a soft cloth and neutral detergent.

Do not use stainless steel scouring pads, scrapers or abrasive or acid substances which could permanently damage the stainless steel surface (fig. 1.2.1).

Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

Available operating modes

Core probe controlled cycle

The core probe is attached to the door of the equipment. It is used to measure the temperature at the centre, or core of the food to be blast chilled or shock frozen. When the core probe detects that the temperature at the core of the food product has reached +3°C

(during the blast chilling cycle) or -18°C (during the shock freezing cycle) it stops the cycle automatically.

The core probe must be inserted into the food to be blast chilled or shock frozen before the cycle is started.

Caution!

Insert the core probe deep into the centre of the food product, making sure it does not come out (fig. 1.2.2). Handle with care as it is sharp. At the end of the blast chilling/shock freezing cycle clean with a soft cloth and lukewarm water, and then replace in the bracket.

Caution!

If you are blast chilling or shock freezing products of different sizes, insert the core probe into the thickest product.

1.2.1

1.2.2

OK!

6

Use

Timer-controlled cycle

The blast chilling and shock freezing cycles can also be carried out in timer-controlled mode. The pre-set duration of the blast chilling cycle is 1:30 (hours:minutes) and that of the shock freezing cycle is 4:00

(hours:minutes). At the end of the pre-set cycle the equipment stops automatically.

Caution!

The core probe cannot be used in conjunction with the timer-controlled mode.

Caution!

The pre-set duration of the cycle can be adjusted by the user according to the type of food to be blast chilled or shock frozen.

Functions

Blast chilling

The blast chilling cycle rapidly reduces the temperature of food products to +3°C at the core (with air temperature inside the chamber between 0°C and 2°C) within a maximum of 1:30 (hours:minutes). The blast chilling cycle can be operated in the timer or core probe mode.

Shock freezing

The shock freezing cycle rapidly reduces the temperature of food products to -18°C at the core (with air temperature inside the chamber between -35°C and -40°C). This cycle has to be completed as rapidly as possible, within a maximum of 4:00 (hours:minutes). The shock freezing cycle can be operated in the timer or core probe mode.

Fast chilling cycle for beverages

This cycle is used to chill beverages in bottles or cans. You can select one of 3 pre-set chilling cycles (5-10-

15 minutes) by pressing the cycle button repeatedly.

Holding mode

“Holding mode” starts automatically at the end of the blast chilling, shock freezing or fast chilling cycles.

When the equipment is in holding mode the temperature display flashes and a brief signal is emitted.

At the end of the blast chilling cycle the temperature inside the chamber is maintained at a steady +2°C .

At the end of the shock freezing cycle the temperature inside the chamber is maintained at a steady -20°C .

At the end of the beverage fast chilling cycle the temperature inside the chamber is maintained at a steady

+ 10°C .

Caution! “Holding mode” lasts indefinitely and can only be interrupted by the operator.

It is advisable that you DO NOT use the equipment as a normal “holding cabinet” and that you DO NOT open and close the door too often when the equipment is in the holding mode.

“Holding mode” is considered a temporary phase between the blast chilling and/or the shock freezing cycles and refrigerated conservation in a normal refrigerator or freezer.

7

Use

Air temperature gauge

The air temperature gauge (which is not accessible or visible, and cannot be adjusted by the operator) continuously monitors the temperature of the air inside the chamber.

This is in order to:

• perform safety checks

• keep air temperature inside the chamber constant during “holding mode” after the blast chilling, shock freezing or beverage fast chilling cycles.

Containers and lids

It is recommended that you use trays and containers that are as shallow as possible, and not deeper than

65 mm. Do not cover the trays and containers with lids or cling film: the bigger the surface of the food product exposed to the cold air, the shorter the blast chilling cycle.

Caution!

Make sure that the containers are suitable for low temperatures (-40°C).

Loading the equipment

Make sure that the foods to be blast chilled and/or shock frozen do not overlap and are not thicker than

5-8 cm. Do not overload the equipment. The maximum load per cycle is indicated by the manufacturer:

Blast chilling: 7 kg

Shock freezing: 4 kg

Check that there is enough space between the trays, so as to allow enough air to pass through.

The maximum weight that can be supported by each grille is 5 kg.

Food temperatures

Caution!

Do not leave cooked food too long at room temperature before blast chilling or shock freezing it. Food at room temperature undergoes the following harmful changes:

- it loses moisture

- it loses its original quality (colour, fragrance, flavour, etc...)

- it is more subject to bacterial contamination

It is for these reasons that we recommend that the blast chilling and/or shock freezing cycle start as soon as the food has been prepared and/or cooked. Food should undergo the blast chilling and/or shock freezing cycle whilst at a high temperature (70°C or more).

Caution!

If you are placing very hot containers (above 100°C) into the blast chiller, you should pre-chill the empty chamber (i.e. with nothing inside). Also remember that hot containers should not be placed directly onto the bottom of the chamber, but on the wire shelves provided instead.
