– USE
AFTER INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE, WAIT AT LEAST TWO HOURS BEFORE TURNING IT ON.
7.1
– USE FORSEEN
Blast chillers are appliances with a powerful refrigeration system that can rapidly reduce the temperature at the core of
food. Ideal for use in kitchens, bakeries and ice cream establishments.
The machine’s main work cycles are
CHILLING
and
FREEZING
. Each cycle includes two different end of cycle modes
at the point at which holding commences:
temperature controlled
(the probe inserted into the core of the product ends
the cycle when it reaches the set temperature) or
time controlled
(the cycle ends as soon as the set time expires).
-
SOFT CHILLING
. Positive “delicate” temperature reduction (+3°C). Food just out of the oven is quickly
taken to a temperature of 3°C in no longer than 90’, thus inhibiting bacterial proliferation and avoiding
dehydration of the cooked food due to evaporation. Food treated in this way can be preserved perfectly for
5-7 days without altering its original qualities.
-
HARD CHILLING
. Positive “rapid” temperature reduction (+3°C). Also lasts for a maximum of 90’. This
type of process is used when the food to be chilled is thicker than 2-3 centimetres (i.e. large joints) and with
dense or fatty food. During this phase the appliance
reaches -20°C air temperature
and provides to
accelerate penetration of the cold into the food.
-
FREEZING
. Deep freezing or freezing (-18°C). During this phase the appliance
reaches -40°C air
temperature.
This work cycle will take the core of the food to a temperature of -18°C in less than four hours
(240’). The speed of the process avoids the formation of macrocrystals, ensuring that when it is used the
thawed food has its original consistency, colour and quality.
-
HOLDING. At the end of both the chilling and freezing cycles the machine will automatically go to the set
holding temperature.
7.2
– UNFORSEEN USE
Blast chillers cannot be used for purposes other than those described in point
7.1
. In particular the appliance is not
suitable for storing food for an indefinite period.
7.3
– RESIDUAL RISKS
LOW TEMPERATURE BURN HAZARD
During its operation the appliance runs extremely low temperatures: avoid direct contact with
the internal parts immediately after opening the door.
