3.1 Shut-down procedures
In the event of emergency, shut down the
appliance by switching off power at the
main panel, by means of a breaker or power
disconnect or by removing the plug from the
power socket.
3.2 Operating tips
Before starting up the appliance, clean the
inside of the compartment thoroughly.
3.2.1 Pre-cooling
Before using the appliance for the first time,
or after a prolonged period of disuse, precool
the compartment by running an empty cycle
until the set operating temperature has been
reached.
To ensure optimal performance without any
alteration to food quality: arrange food products
in such a way as to favour the circulation of cold
air throughout the compartment; open the door
as little as possible.
3.2.2 Loading the appliance
a) Ensure that foods to be chilled and/or frozen
are separate and do not have a thickness greater
than 2’’/50mm-3’’/80mm. Do not load the
appliance beyond the quantity recommended
by the manufacturer.
b) Ensure that there is sufficient clearance
between trays to enable free air circulation. If
the appliance is not completely full, distribute
the trays and foods evenly throughout the
available space.
c) Position trays inside the tray compartment as
far as they will go, as close as possible to the
evaporator.
d) Position the core probe at the centre of the
largest product or food item; make sure that the
tip of the probe does not protrude or touch the
tray. The probe must be cleaned and sanitised
before each new cycle (operation) to prevent
inadvertent contamination.
e) Avoid covering the trays and/or containers with
insulating covers or film. The more the product
is insulated, the more time is required for
chilling or freezing. Trays should be packaged
when the product has been chilled, before
being placed in storage.
