2.4 Ambient temperature and air circulation

The performance of the appliance is guaranteed up to an ambient temperature of 32 °C provided that adequate air recirculation is guarantee as indicated in paragraph 2.3.29

After positioning the appliance and connecting it electrically:

• check that the electrical connection is correct

• wait at least 4 hours before turning it on, to allow the thermodynamic circuit to stabilise.

2.6 Protective devices

The appliance features the following protective devices:

• fuse in the power board to protect against any overload

• overload cutout in the compressor to protect against any overload or malfunction

• dual trip unit to protect against heating element malfunction.

USE This appliance is intended mainly for the blast chilling and freezing of food. If cooked and blast chilled, food maintains its organoleptic properties nearly unaltered for 5–7 days; if frozen, on the other hand, food maintains its consistency and original flavour after thawing.

• Read this booklet carefully and always refer to it.

• Should you notice anomalies in the appliance, for example damaged power cable or control panel failure, turn off the appliance immediately and contact the support centre.

• This appliance is not intended for use by children or people with limited physical, sensory or mental capacities, or without experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised and instructed on using it. Children must not play with the appliance.

• Do not introduce explosive substances, such as aerosols with flammable propellants, to the appliance.

• This appliance is intended for domestic use.

• The appliance may become hot during operation in accordance with the programme running. Adopt appropriate precautions when working inside the appliance. Keep children at a distance.

• This appliance is intended solely for the use for which it was designed: blast chilling, freezing, thawing, proving, slow cooking and cooling of food and drink in a domestic setting. All other use should be considered improper and potentially dangerous.

3.2 Preliminary internal cleaning

After making the electrical connection and positioning, the inside of the compartment must be cleaned using a soft cloth and a neutral detergent before turning on. Afterwards, remove any remaining detergent. Do not use stainless steel scourers, scrapers, abrasive, acidic or aggressive substances that may irreparably damage the internal surfaces.

The core probe is an accessory used to detect the temperature inside food. In programmes including the use of the core probe, the process ends automatically when the envisaged temperature is reached in the food. If the core probe is not connected to the appliance and the user wants to use the core mode, “Connect the probe to start the programme” appears on the display. Correct use involves inserting the probe inside the food before starting the programme.30

Note: the probe must be inserted to the centre of the food so that it does not come out of the food. To improve the effectiveness of the programme, insert the probe in the biggest part. If the core probe has not been inserted in the food because it has been forgotten at the bottom of the compartment or has fallen out of the food, the appliance automatically switches the programme to “recipe” mode 5 minutes after starting, retaining the set “Food type” and “Preparation”. Handle the probe with care and pay attention to its tip. After use, clean it with a soft cloth and lukewarm water, then put it away. When “recipe” mode is selected for blast chilling or freezing, the use of the core probe has no effect on the execution of the programme.

3.4 Containers and lids to use

The use of shallow trays and containers assists internal ventilation and is therefore preferable. Advice: to increase the effectiveness of the blast chilling and freezing programmes, it is advisable to extend the portion of food affected by the air flow to the greatest possible extent; so avoid covering trays and containers, since this increases the insulation. Ensure that the containers are compatible with use at low temperatures (−40 °C). In programmes with hot functions, favour the use of containers made of metal, ceramics or materials suitable for temperatures up to 80 °C.

When possible, it is advisable to avoid piling up food on trays, favouring an arrangement spread out over as wide a surface as possible, so as to promote better internal ventilation.

3.6 Effectiveness of the blast chilling and freezing programmes

The best blast chilling and freezing results are obtained by introducing the food to the appliance as soon as cooking is finished, avoiding prolonged exposure of the food to the ambient temperature, since this causes a loss of humidity and deterioration in the original colour, scent and taste characteristics. Advice: blast chilling and freezing programmes performed on foods that is very hot or is of a certain weight are shorter and obtain better results if the pre-cooling programme is carried out beforehand.

3.7 Storing blast-chilled or frozen foods

The correct location for storing blast-chilled foods is the fridge, while the correct location for frozen foods is the freezer, so use these appliances to store these foods. Since frozen food can be kept for long periods (6–12 months), it is advisable to mark containers with a label indicating the contents and preparation and expiry dates. Advice: to further improve the storage times for blast-chilled or frozen foods, you can, with suitable appliances, vacuum-pack them, observing the instruction on temperatures and times.31

BLAST CHILLING Allows food to be kept in the fridge for 5÷7 days, thanks to rapid cooling of the food to +3 °C. This cooling prevents evaporation of the water from products that have just been cooked and reduces the proliferation of bacteria, thus extending the food storage time.

FREEZING Allows food to be kept in the freezer for several months, thanks to rapid cooling of the food to −18 °C. The organoleptic properties, flavour, scent and appearance of foods are preserved intact through the micro crystallisation of the water that it contains, thus avoiding the destruction of the internal molecular structures.

PRE-COOLING Allows the reduction of time for programmes, like blast chilling or freezing, that involve the cooling of food that is very hot or is of a certain weight. It consists of cooling the internal parts of the appliance and therefore optimises kitchen working times because it can be performed while the recipes are prepared.

COOLING Allows the process of cooling a food that has just been cooked and is therefore very hot to the desired temperature to be accelerated, without waiting for natural acclimatisation, to permit rapid consumption.

DRINKS Allows the temperature of a drink to be reduced in accordance with the time available. Storage of drinks at the desired temperature is the task of a wine cellar, but the blast chiller has highly useful performance characteristics when not enough time is available.

Allows the organoleptic properties of raw food to be preserved and is appropriate when you wish to store food for a few hours before it is prepared.

RAW FISH Allows the process of low-temperature sanitation to be reproduced at home, using the high performance of the blast chiller. Poor storage of fishery products may generate health risks in relation to Anisakis, a parasite that can be eliminated through extended cooking processes or storage at −30 °C.

THAWING Allows food to be brought from freezing temperature to a temperature of 4°C approx. without losing liquids and without starting to cook it, thus avoiding the conversion of proteins the occurs, for example, when thawing meat in the microwave.

Allows food cooked previously and stored in the fridge to be heated and served at table at the right temperature for consumption.

SLOW COOKING Allows food to be cooked in an environment with a constant temperature for a given time. Thanks to the limited evaporation of water from food, this technique allows the qualities and tenderness of food to be preserved.

PROVING Permits the creation of a microclimate with controlled temperature and humidity, so that fermentation can occur in optimal conditions, causing dough to rise naturally. The amount of yeast can be reduced by programming the proving time, thus obtaining a lighter, more digestible product, favouring the development of the desired aroma.32

3.9 The display and user interaction

3.11 Turning on and off

To turn the appliance on, press the ON/OFF button at the side of the display for at least 2 seconds. The logo is displayed, then the “Main menu” screen. In the absence of interaction for 5 minutes, the current time screen saver appears on the display. To turn the appliance off, press the ON/OFF button at the side of the display for at least 2 seconds. This operation can be performed at any time: in the event of turning off while a programme is running, the display shows a message and then the programme is interrupted definitively.

3.12 Programme selection

The programme is chosen in the “Main menu” screen by touching the desired icon. A long press on each icon produces a screen explaining the corresponding programme (fig. 7). Fig. 7 – Example of information screen With the programme started, in the absence of interaction for 2 minutes, a screen saver appears on the display with the icon of the programme running. Just press any point of the display to make the screen saver disappear.

3.12.1 End of programme

At the end of each programme, the appliance emits a tone to advise that the food can be removed. Some programmes involve the appliance, with notification through an appropriate screen, automatically entering maintain mode, during which the food can remain inside the blast chiller. To interrupt this mode, just press the “stop” button, taking the food from the blast chiller at the same time. The “Blast chilling”, “Freezing”, “Raw Fish” and “Storage at 0 °C” programmes also include an automatic defrosting phase which takes place at the end of maintain mode or when it is interrupted by the user. Defrosting is indicated by a dedicated screen and lasts 15 minutes, at the end of which the display returns to the Main Menu screen. The automatic defrosting can be interrupted at any time by pressing the “stop” button.34

Pre-cooling is recommended to reduce the running times for blast chilling and freezing programmes. PRE-COOLING Before starting the programme The information can be checked in the summary screen. Programme running The display shows the settings and the time remaining to the end of the cycle.

AT THE END OF THE PROGRAMME

The appliance emits a tone and displays a notification screen. No maintain or defrosting action is envisaged. The appliance is ready to carry out other programmes.

3.12.3 Blast chilling

Blast chilling allows food to be stored in the fridge for 5÷7 days, thanks to a rapid cooling process that prevents evaporation of the water and loss of vitamins, proteins and minerals from products that have just been cooked. Reducing the time that the food remains in the temperature range in which bacteria proliferate extends the food storage time. Food that has just been cooked can also be handled, even at temperatures of 90 °C. BLAST CHILLING Two blast chilling modes can be selected: “recipe” and “core”. Recipe blast chilling does not require the use of the core probe, but the weight and initial temperature of the food to process must be indicated. Core blast chilling allows the temperature at the centre of the food to be detected during the cycle.

Selections Type of food: specify the nature of the food to process. Preparation: specify the characteristics of the food to process (consistency and form, e.g. pasta-meat and whole-in pieces…). Weight: specify the amount of the food to process. Initial state: if the food has just been cooked in the oven, or its temperature is in any case high, select “hot”. If it is at ambient temperature or just lukewarm, select “ambient”. Before starting the programme The information entered can be checked through a summary screen. Programme running The display shows the settings and the time remaining to the end of the cycle.

Selections Type of food: specify the nature of the food to process. Preparation: specify the characteristics of the food to process (consistency and form, e.g. pasta-meat and whole-in pieces…).

Before starting the programme The information entered can be checked through a summary screen. Programme running The display shows the settings and the effective temperature of the food.

AT THE END OF THE PROGRAMME

Whatever blast chilling mode is selected, at the end of the programme the appliance emits a tone and displays a notification screen. It then enters maintain mode, where it maintains the temperature of the compartment at +5 °C until the user intervenes. Defrosting is envisaged at the end. Note: opening the door while blast chilling introduces hot, humid air, increasing the duration of the programme. The cycle duration in “recipe” mode is fixed: repeatedly opening the door of the appliance may result in imperfect blast chilling. Do not open the door of the appliance during the blast chilling cycle.35

Freezing permits a rapid reduction in the temperature of food to −18 °C, allowing it to be stored for several months afterwards in the freezer. The organoleptic properties, flavour, scent and appearance of foods are preserved intact through the rapid micro crystallisation of the water that it contains, thus avoiding the destruction of the internal molecular structures. FREEZING Two freezing modes can be selected: “recipe” and “core”. Recipe freezing does not require the use of the core probe, but the weight and initial temperature of the food to process must be indicated. Core freezing allows the temperature at the centre of the food to be detected during the cycle. RECIPE FREEZING

Selections Type of food: specify the nature of the food to process. Preparation: specify the characteristics of the food to process (consistency and form, e.g. pasta-meat and whole-in pieces…). Weight: specify the amount of the food to process. Initial state: if the food has just been cooked in the oven, or its temperature is in any case high, select “hot”. If it is at ambient temperature or just lukewarm, select “ambient”. Before starting the programme The information entered can be checked through a summary screen. Programme running The display shows the settings and the time remaining to the end of the cycle. CORE FREEZING

Selections Type of food: specify the nature of the food to process. Preparation: specify the characteristics of the food to process (consistency and form, e.g. pasta-meat and whole-in pieces…). These settings are required by the appliance to determine the operating cycle that guarantees optimal freezing. Before starting the programme The information entered can be checked through a summary screen. Programme running The display shows the settings and the effective temperature of the food.

AT THE END OF THE PROGRAMME

Whatever freezing mode is selected, at the end of the programme the appliance emits a tone and displays a notification screen. It then enters maintain mode, where it maintains the temperature of the compartment at -21 °C until the user intervenes. Defrosting is envisaged at the end. Note: opening the door during the freezing cycle introduces hot, humid air, increasing the duration of the programme. The cycle duration is fixed in “recipe” mode: repeatedly opening the door of the appliance may result in imperfect freezing. Do not open the door of the appliance during the freezing cycle.

Cooling permits a reduction in the waiting time for using hot food. With this function, food that has just been cooked can be served at table or used for further preparation in the kitchen, without waiting for the normal acclimatisation. COOLING

Selections Air temperature: specify the temperature of the air used to cool the food. Duration: specify the desired length of time for cooling the food. Before starting the programme The information entered can be checked through a summary screen. Programme running The display shows the settings and the time remaining to the end of the cycle.

AT THE END OF THE PROGRAMME

At the end of the programme, the appliance emits a tone and displays a notification screen. No compartment temperature maintain action is carried out. Defrosting is not envisaged at the end.36

The “drinks” programme allows the temperature of a drink to be reduced in accordance with the time available. The blast chiller has highly useful performance characteristics when not enough time is available for the normal drink tasting preparation. Note: this appliance is not a bottle preserver and does not replace a wine cellar. Excessive cooling of bottles may make the liquid inside them freeze and cause the bottles to break. DRINKS PREPARATION

Before starting the programme The information entered can be checked through a summary screen. Programme running The display shows the settings and the time remaining to the end of the cycle.

AT THE END OF THE PROGRAMME

At the end of the programme, the appliance emits a tone and displays a notification screen. No compartment temperature maintain action is carried out and defrosting is not envisaged at the end. Note: The bottle “type” is 75 cl “Bordeaux”; bear in mind that, capacity being equal, a glass container insulated more than an aluminium can, so it will be easier to cool a canned drink than a bottled drink.

3.12.7 Storage at 0 °C

Storage at 0 °C allows the environmental conditions in a zero-degree preserver to be replicated. Microbial growth in foods is a natural phenomenon that occurs according to the environmental conditions. Temperature is a factor capable of influencing the growth and reproduction of the bacteria that cause the deterioration of food. This programme maintains the internal temperature of the appliance at approximately +3°C for a maximum of 36 hours and 20 minutes or until the user intervenes. Note: this appliance is not a food preserver. If you wish to store food for long periods, it is advisable to use appliances designed for the purpose.

Before starting the programme The information entered can be checked through a summary screen. Programme running The display shows the settings and the time remaining to the end of the cycle.

3.12.10 Ready to serve

Ready to serve allows food previously cooked and stored in the fridge, or that has reached ambient temperature, to be heated and served at table at the right temperature for consumption. Warning! Accessible parts may become very hot during operation in this mode: children must be kept at a distance. Pay attention not to touch the hot surfaces of the appliance and always use oven mitts to remove or insert heat-resistant pots or accessories.

Two Ready to Serve modes can be selected: “direct” and “delayed”. In “Direct ready to serve”, the heating begins when the cycle is started. In “Delayed ready to serve”, the heating takes place after a waiting period during which the appliance keeps the food at a temperature of +4 °C, thus allowing the programme to be started in the morning in order to have the food at the right temperature for lunch/dinner.

Proving permits the creation of a microclimate with controlled temperature and humidity to promote the activation and transformation of yeasts. In this way, fermentation can occur in optimal conditions, causing dough to rise naturally as desired. The amount of yeast can be reduced by programming the proving time, obtaining a lighter, more digestible product and at the same time favouring the development of the desired aroma. For the best proving, it is advisable to place the dough in an open-topped container and cover the container with a damp cloth. If you wish to prove in a particularly humid environment, it is advisable to place a pan of warm water next to the food container as well. PROVING Three proving modes can be selected: “direct”, “maintained” and “delayed”. In “direct” proving, the process takes place immediately. If you wish to start proving immediately but the dough can’t be taken out at the end of proving itself, the dough can be kept at the right temperature with “maintained” mode. If you wish to start proving a few hours after putting it in the appliance, “delayed” mode is available. DIRECT PROVING

Selections Temperature: specify the desired air temperature for fermenting the yeasts. Duration: specify the desired length of time for proving the food.
