General information and safety regulations
3.7.2.2 Special attention to be paid during
unpacking, installation and connection
During unpacking, installation and connection, special
attention must be paid to the operations described
below.
Follow the instructions previously given in paragraph 3.7.1
lifting and transport during the necessary machine/part-
ly completed machinery handling operations.
Do not dispose of the packaging in the environment
and do not leave any packaging within the reach of
children as it may result in suffocation. Dispose of the
material in full compliance with current regulations.
The compressor discharge piping and the suction
piping could reach temperatures such as to cause
burns and scalds from cold and heat. Check the tempe-
rature of the pipes before touching them. Always wear
protective gloves.
In the event of gas leaking from the refrigerant circuit
during installation and maintenance, do not touch and
inhale the leaked gas. It may cause cold burns and
suffocation. Before returning to the area, aerate and
ventilate the space as much as possible and verify the
air quality (see safety data sheet of the gas used).
In the event that gas leaks involve flammable fluids, in
addition to the precautions of the previous point,
disconnect the general power supply and evacuate the
area.
Do not weld on pipes containing refrigerant as they
could explode, projecting sharp parts and/or molten
parts that can hit and injure persons or animals in the
surrounding area and in the most serious cases even
result in death.
After installing and maintaining the machine, check that
there are no refrigerant gas leaks.
Do not let the electrical panel and internal components
come into contact with conductive liquids.
Do not wash the machine with water jets as these could
damage the machine/partly completed machinery and
give rise to electrical and mechanical problems.
Do not insert fingers, tools or objects through the fan
grilles that could damage the machine or project parts
with consequences of cutting and hitting persons in the
immediate vicinity of the blast chiller.
Do not pull the blast chiller power cable as it could get
damaged and cause short circuits and become
conductive parts, thereby posing a risk of electrocution,
fire and shock.

Only electrical maintenance personnel must access
electrical parts.
Protect the piping connections to energy sources by
means of suitable stiff sheaths or cable ducts.
Insulate the heat transfer fluid pipes in order to elimina-
te condensation and avoid cold burns.
Always carry out the required operations using
compliant tools and always pay the utmost attention to
elements that could lead to tripping or cause cuts and
bruises.
3.7.3 USE
3.7.3.1 Residual risks during use
During use there are residual risks connected to:
Operations carried out on the machine by unqualified,
untrained or improperly equipped personnel.
Burns and injuries caused by contact with objects or mate-
rials at high or low temperature.
Slipping caused by slippery or wet machine floor.
Tripping and falling caused by the access ramps to the
machine.
Asphyxiation caused by gas that may escape from the
machine/partly completed machinery during operation.
Entanglement, dragging, suffocation caused by rotating
moving parts.
Musculoskeletal disorders caused by low air temperatures
inside the chilling cabinet.
Trapping due to the door closing.
