2.3 Other parts

Interior lighting

The appliance's interior lighting comes on only when the door is opened.

When the door is open, it is not possible to turn off the interior lighting.

Shelves

The appliance features shelves to position racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see 2.1 General Description).

Cooling fan

The cooling fan distributes the air evenly inside the appliance, helping it reach the set temperature more quickly.

2.4 Available accessories

Rack

For supporting containers.

Multi-purpose bottle rack (on some models only)

For supporting bottles, or containers if turned when inserted.

Temperature probe

To be inserted in the middle of foodstuffs to measure their internal temperature when blast chilling by probe and during slow cooking.

The appliance accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with the provisions of current legislation.

Original supplied and optional accessories can be requested to Authorised Assistance Centres. Use only original accessories supplied by the manufacturer.

2.5 Blast Chiller Advantages

Your blast chiller allows you to quickly cool foodstuffs and to freeze them rapidly in order to retain their freshness and guarantee them a long lifetime.

Blast chilling and rapid freezing help preserve the flavour, aroma, colour and nutritional properties of foodstuffs.

• Blast chilling cooked foods to an internal temperature of +3°C minimises bacterial proliferation, which is at its maximum between 65°C and 8°C.
• Rapid freezing to -18°C allows frozen food to be preserved for a longer period – usually several months more. It also prevents the formation of "freezer burn" (large ice crystals which damage and break the cell walls of the foodstuffs). When defrosted, the foodstuffs will not lose liquid and will retain their consistency and taste.

3 Use

3.1 Instructions

Improper use

Danger of personal injury or damage to the appliance

• Keep the door closed when performing any operation on the appliance.
• Protect your hands by wearing oven gloves when moving food inside the appliance.
• Do not touch the heating elements.
• Do not allow children to approach the appliance when it is in operation.
• Do not place trays or containers on the bottom of the appliance.
• Ensure that the containers are suitable for use at low temperatures.
• Avoid using plastic containers, we recommended using silicone containers.
• Arrange the food carefully inside the appliance so that air can circulate correctly.
• Do not stack the foods on top of each other.
• Handle the temperature probe with care as it has a sharp point.
• Do not use or leave flammable materials near the appliance.

Improper use

Bacteriological contamination hazard

• Take great care when handling and consuming raw foodstuffs, in particular fresh fish and cephalopods, as there is the risk of contamination from Anisakis, a parasite which is hazardous to human health. This risk can be eliminated by cooking to a minimum temperature of 65°C, or by freezing to -18°C and then holding at -18°C for at least 96 hours. - In order to retain the properties of hot foods, do not allow them to remain at room temperature before blast chilling or freezing them.

The formation of water or condensate inside the appliance is a natural phenomenon and does not indicate a malfunction.

3.2 Preliminary operations

1. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from the accessories and inside of the appliance.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance accessories (see 4 Cleaning and maintenance).
4. To remove any manufacturing residue, clean the inside of the appliance thoroughly with a soft cloth and neutral, non-abrasive detergent (see "Cleaning the inside of the appliance.").
5. You must set the current time in order to start using the appliance (see "First use").

3.3 Using the accessories

Rack

The racks must be inserted into the side guides until they come to a complete stop.

- The mechanical safety locks that prevent the racks from being removed accidentally must face downwards and towards the back of the appliance.

Multi-purpose bottle rack (on some models only)

Bottles to be cooled can be arranged on this rack as follows:

If it is turned when inserted, it can be used as a normal rack for supporting containers.

Temperature probe

Sharp point injury hazard

- Handle the probe with care and do not touch its tip.

Insert the probe into the food before starting the blast chill by probe cycle or hot functions.

• The temperature probe must be inserted into the middle of the food without going through it.
• For different sized pieces or irregular foodstuffs, the probe should be placed in the largest piece/thickest area.

Insert the probe transversely, ensuring at least 3/4 of its length is inside the foodstuff.

When you have finished using the probe, clean it with a soft cloth and warm water, dry it carefully and return it to its housing.

3.4 Using the Blast Chiller

First use

Z

When using the appliance for the first time, or after a power failure, the 00:00 symbol will flash on the display.
