DESCRIPTION OF CYCLES

F.2.1

Chilling cycle

Chilling cycle brings the food quickly to a core temperature of
+3℃. It is suitable for foods to be consumed within a few days.
Two types of chilling cycle are provided for:
• SOFT CHILLING:
recommended for foods such as vegetables or pieces of
food that are not very thick.
• HARD CHILLING:
recommended for larger pieces of food.
F.2.2

Freezing cycle

Freezing allows foods to be preserved for longer periods
(weeks or months).
Fast freezing consists of reaching a negative temperature
(-18℃) in the core of the product in the shortest possible time.
This ensures that the tissues are not damaged when the
product thaws and the food preserves it appearance and
nutritional components. With this cycle, the temperature of the
food is between -20℃ and -18℃ after freezing.
F.2.3

Maintaining or preservation

The preservation cycle, for example keeping food at a chosen
temperature so that it does not alter over time, is started
automatically at the end of the chilling or freezing cycles.
The food must be stored in an appropriate way, maintaining a
preservation temperature suitable for the type of food being
chilled.
Preservation is continuous; it is necessary to operate on the
program in order to interrupt it.
F.2.4

Turbo cooling cycle

The turbo cooling cycle allows the user to operate the
appliance continuously with a compartment temperature
between the min. set point and +3℃. The appliance works in
continuous cycle and defrost is managed automatically.
F.2.5

Thawing cycle

Thawing cycle allows to brought frozen food to the ideal
temperature for servicing or cooking with the appropriate
automatic temperature management and air circulation
system.
Temperature and cycle time vary according to the quantity and
type of food introduced in the appliance.

Start/Stop cycle

This button is used to start or stop the selected cycle. The
selected cycle starts immediately when activated. To stop it,
keep the button pressed for at least 3 seconds. If the door is
closed when a cycle is started, the button lights up; whereas it
will start blinking if the door is opened during a cycle.
To optimise machine performance, and only if the need arises,
a preparation cycle can start at the beginning of a chilling cycle,
signalled on the temperature display with the message "PREP".
Also, if the blast chiller has been idle for a long time, the
compressor will be started with impulses to guarantee
maximum efficiency.
F.3.3

Cycle selection

The machine default setting is the SOFT chilling cycle.
Use the button to select:
• SOFT chilling ;
• HARD chilling ;
• Positive maintaining (or preservation)
• Freezing ;
• Negative maintaining (or preservation)
Use the button to select:
• Turbo cooling cycle ;
• Thawing cycle ;
F.3.4

Temperature

The temperature display can show the compartment temper-
ature and the probe temperature (if present). If a cycle is
active (positive or negative maintaining, timed chilling or timed
freezing), the temperature displayed is the compartment
temperature. If a probe cycle is active, the probe temperature
will be displayed by default.
Press the button during chilling or freezing cycles to
switch between compartment temperature and probe temper-
ature (if present). The LED indicates which of the two
temperatures is being displayed at that time:
• if the probe temperature is displayed, the
probe temperature led lights up
• if the compartment temperature is displayed,
the compartment temperature led lights up.
Only 1 of the 2 is on.
F.3.5

Time

• During a chilling, freezing or thawing cycle: the time display
shows the total or remaining chilling time
