Food sensor connector The blast chiller derives from the professional sector and is designed to reduce the temperature (+ 3°C) and freeze (-18°C) food. Raw and cooked foods, processed this way, keep their organoleptic qualities unaltered, preserving their taste and freshness. At the end of each selected cycle, the appliance automatically switches to the holding phase, keeping the product at the preset temperature for a maximum of 24 hours.

ON/OFF Turns the appliance on/off.

6.3 Guidelines for the main functions

Symbol Function Use Holding Gentle chilling Load less than 0.5kg, single-portions, all vegetables (even if greater than 0.5 kg) desserts, liquid foods and sauces, sous- vide cooking, dough Refrigerator Chilling Load greater than 0.5kg, multi-portions, meat, first courses, au gratin, gateaux, whole fish Refrigerator Freezing Any food, frozen desserts Freezer Fridge / Freezer Mode Use the blast chiller as a refrigerator or freezer for up to 24 hours Refrigerator/ Freezer CAUTION! At the end of the indicated program the blast chiller maintains the set temperature for up to a maximum of 24 hours. CAUTION! When using the function (blast chilling) with small quantities, single-portion foods, thin slices, vegetables, desserts, a thin layer of ice can form on the surface. This does not affect the quality of the processed food. CAUTION! The function (sashimi / raw fish -20°C) sanitises fish for raw consumption. The cycle lasts 28 hours. (4 hours for freezing and 24 hours for holding at -20°C)

CAUTION! At the end of each use it is recommended to carefully dry the cavity to prevent condensation water from stagnating and generating unpleasant odours. Keep the door open as illustrated for at least 60 minutes after the cavity has been dried.13ENGLISH

Always make sure that the tip of the food sensor is placed in the middle of the food (see picture).

7.2 Loading the machine

To ensure good machine performance and not have any food alterations:

• arrange the products so as to promote the circulation of cold air throughout the cell;

• avoid prolonged and frequent door opening.

7.3 Cavity temperature

Temperature uniformity is ensured by the fins in the right hand shelf support. CAUTION! Make sure that food to be blast chilled and/or frozen is not overlapped and in any case does not have a thickness greater than 65 mm. Do not overload the machine beyond what is established by the manufacturer (3 kg).14 www.aeg.com
