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 affect the quality of the processed food.

WARNING!

The function (sashimi / raw fish -20^) sanitises fish for raw consumption. The cycle lasts 28 hours. (4 hours for freezing and 24 hours for holding at -20^) Timing according to the European HACCP regulation on the sanitation of raw food.

6.5 End of use

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.

7. TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 Sensor positioning

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

7.2 Pre-cooling

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 fins 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 65mm in thickness. Do not exceed the load recommended by the manufacturer (3kg)
