3. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT

The blast chiller is designed for the professional sector and is intended to be used to chill (+3°C) and blast freeze (-18°C) food. Raw and cooked foods preserved in this way maintain their organoleptic qualities in the interest of 󰘱avour 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.

6.4 Guidelines for the functions

Symbol Function Suggested use Holding Gentle chilling Load less than 0.5kg, single portion all vegetables (even if above 0.5kg) desserts, liquid foods and sauces vacuum cooking, mixtures Refrigerator Blast chilling Load more than 0.5kg, single portion meat, 󰘰rst courses au gratin puddings, whole 󰘰sh Refrigerator Blast freezing Any food semi-frozen desserts Freezer WARNING! At the end of the indicated program the blast chiller maintains the set temperature for up to a maximum of 24 hours. WARNING! 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 a󰘯ect the quality of the processed food. WARNING! The function (sashimi / raw 󰘰sh -20°C) sanitises 󰘰sh for raw consumption. The cycle lasts 28 hours. (4 hours for freezing and 24 hours for holding at -20°C) Timing according to the European HACCP regulation on the sanitation of raw food.

WARNING! 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.27ENGLISH

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

Selecting the chilling cycles +5, +3, -18 automatically activates pre-cooling and “Pre-cooling done, please insert food now” appears on the appliance. The assisted cooling and freezing cycles do not involve pre-cooling.

7.3 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.

7.4 Cavity temperature

Temperature uniformity is ensured by the 󰘰ns in the right hand shelf support. WARNING! Make sure that the food items to be blast chilled and/or frozen do not overlap and are no greater than 65 mm in thickness. Do not exceed the load recommended by the manufacturer (3 kg).28 www.electrolux.com
