Product Loading
Food should be loaded into Gastronorm pans which slide directly onto the Blast Chiller
ʼ
s
shelving system. Remember that a Blast Chiller works in a very similar way to an oven, but
in reverse. An oven puts heat into the food and a Blast Chiller takes heat out. With this in
mind, some products chill faster than others and there is a possibility for some items to
freeze on the exterior if left in the Blast Chiller for too long, as they might burn on the
exterior if left in an oven for too long.
Starting a cycle

given the option of choosing a pre-set cycle termination method of time and/or food probe
