IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. To obtain full use of the cabinet, we recommend reading this instruction manual. 2. It is the user’s responsibility to operate the appliance in accordance with the instructions given. 3. Contact your dealer immediately in case of any malfunctions. 4.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BLC3AX1, BLC5AX1 and BLC10AX1 cabinets operates on 230 V/50 Hz. BLC14AX1 operates on 3x400 V/50 Hz. Make sure that the cabinet is connected to a separate electrical group to avoid overload. The wall socket should be easily accessible.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE If the appliance remains inactive for a long period, proceed as follows 1. Use the automatic isolating switch to deactivate connection to the main electrical line. 2. Clean the appliance and surrounding areas thoroughly. 3. Spread a thin layer of cooking oil onto the stainless steel surfaces 4.
BLAST CHILLING CYCLE With this operating modality the chiller keeps the temperature of the refrigerating compartment close to zero during the entire chilling process in order to ensure a gradual drop in the temperature of the product to +3 °C.In this way, ice crystals do not form on the surface of the product .This blast chilling method should be used preferably for products that are not packed and whose physical/organoleptic characteristics could be damaged by the formation of superficial ice (e.g.
To clean, proceed as follows: 1. Open the door (A) of the appliances. 2. Remove the lower panel(B) from the technical compartment: to do this, remove the screw fasteners(C) 3. It is now possible to clean the finned part of the condenser (D) using suitable tools and protection devices.

DŮLEŽITÉ BEZPEČNOSTNÍ POKYNY 1. Pro maximální využití tohoto zařízení doporučujeme pročtení tohoto manuálu. 2. Je na odpovědnosti uživatele, aby provozoval toto zařízení v souladu s uvedenými pokyny. 3. V případě jakékoli závady okamžitě kontaktujte svého prodejce. 4. Umístěte zařízení na suché a větrané místo. 5.
ELEKTRICKÉ ZAPOJENÍ BLC3AX1, BLC5AX1 a BLC10AX1 pracují na 230 V/50 Hz. BLC14AX1 pracuje na 3×400 V/50 Hz. Ujistěte se, že je zařízení připojeno k samostatnému elektrickému okruhu, aby nedošlo k přetížení. Nástěnná zásuvka by měla být snadno přístupná. Je nutné dodržovat všechny požadavky na uzemnění kladené místními orgány v elektrotechnické...
DOPORUČENÍ PRO POUŽITÍ V případě delší odstávky zařízení postupujte následovně: 1. Použijte automatický odpojovač pro odpojení od síťového napájení. 2. Zařízení i okolní plochy důkladně vyčistěte. 3. Na nerezové povrchy naneste tenkou vrstvu stolního oleje. 4. Proveďte všechny údržbové operace. 5.
CYKLUS ŠOKOVÉHO ZCHLAZENÍ V tomto provozním režimu udržuje zchlazovač teplotu chladicího prostoru během celého zchlazovacího procesu kolem nuly, aby se zajistil postupný pokles teploty produktu na +3 °C. Díky tomu se na povrchu produktu nevytvoří krystalky ledu. Tento způsob šokového zchlazování by měl být používán u produktů, které...
Postup čištění: 1. Otevřete dveře (A) spotřebiče. 2. Odstraňte spodní kryt (B) technického prostoru: abyste tak mohli učinit, odstraňte nejprve šroubky (C). 3. Žebrovou část kondenzátoru (D) můžete nyní očistit pomocí vhodných nástrojů a ochranných prostředků. 4. Po vyčištění vraťte kryt zpět na místo a zajistěte jej pomocí šroubků, které jste předtím odstranili. SERVIS Chladicí...

DÔLEŽITÉ BEZPEČNOSTNÉ POKYNY 1. Odporúčame vám, aby ste si prečítali túto príručku, aby ste mohli čo najlepšie skriňu využívať. 2. Zodpovednosťou používateľa je používať spotrebič v súlade s uvedenými pokynmi. 3. V prípade akejkoľvek poruchy okamžite kontaktujte predajcu. 4. Skriňu umiestnite na suché a dobre vetrané miesto. 5.
ELEKTRICKÉ PRIPOJENIE Skrine BLC3AX1, BLC5AX1 a BLC10AX1 sú napájané napätím 230 V/50 Hz. BLC14AX1 je napájaná napätím 3×400 V/50 Hz. Dbajte na to, aby ste skriňu pripojili do samostatného elektrického okruhu. Nedôjde tak k preťaženiu. Zásuvka na stene musí byť ľahko prístupná.
ODPORÚČANIA NA POUŽÍVANIE Ak sa spotrebič dlhší čas nepoužíva, postupujte takto: 1. Pomocou automatického izolačného spínača prerušte pripojenie k elektrickej sieti. 2. Spotrebič a okolité priestory dôkladne vyčistite. 3. Na povrchy z nehrdzavejúcej ocele rozotrite tenkú vrstvu oleja na varenie. 4.
CYKLUS ŠOKOVÉHO SCHLADZOVANIA Tento režim funguje tak, že schladzovač udržiava v chladenom priestore počas celého procesu schladzovania teplotu blízku nule, aby sa dosiahol postupný pokles teploty výrobku na +3 °C. Preto sa na povrchu výrobku nevytvárajú kryštály ľadu. Tento spôsob schladzovania by sa mal prednostne používať...
Pri čistení postupujte takto: 1. Otvorte dvere (A) spotrebiča. 2. Z technickej časti odstráňte spodný panel (B). Urobíte to uvoľnením skrutiek (C). 3. Teraz môžete vyčistiť časť kondenzátora s rebrami (D). Použite pritom vhodné nástroje a ochranné pomôcky. 4. Ovládací panel po čistení zavrite a pripevnite ho skrutkami, ktoré ste predtým uvoľnili.

EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 869/879 | Installer manual ver. 4.0 | Code 144VC869E404 7.1.1 Combined cycle with slow cooking When setting a manual blast chilling/freezing cycle, if available in the machine configuration a slow cooking cycle can be added after a blast chilling/freezing. In the lower part of the screen, two dedicated areas make it possible to add a slow cooking phase or a slow cooking + holding phase.
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 869/879 | Installer manual ver. 4.0 | Code 144VC869E404 Once the phase is complete, the controller moves on automatically to the next one. The end of the first two phases is signalled by the buzzer sounding. It is also possible to select the time controlled mode for this cycle, in which case the controller moves on to the next phase when the set time has elapsed.

Page 76
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 869/879 | Installer manual ver. 4.0 | Code 144VC869E404 Running the cycle Pressing the key starts up the cycle as it has been set. If it is a temperature controlled cycle, the blast chilling/blast-freezing phases terminate when the needle probe, or probes, reach the set temperature. If it is a time controlled cycle, the blast chilling/blast-freezing phases terminate when the set time period, or periods, have elapsed.
Page 77
EVCO S.p.A. Vcolor 869/879 | Installer manual ver. 4.0 | Code 144VC869E404 The sensor showing the highest temperature is then used as the reference point for the end of the temperature controlled cycles. Any sensors for which the test is not completed with a successful outcome are not subsequently used. If the test fails to record a positive outcome, that is to say the needle probe is not inserted, the buzzer sounds and the cycle automatically changes to time-controlled or keeps on as a temperature-based cycle, depending on how parameter E14 is set.
