Warnings for the forklift driver
All transport operations must be carried out only by qualied personnel authorized
by the Manufacturer, according to the standards in force in the country of use,
complying with the rules relating to systems and safety at work.
The driver must operate in perfect psychophysical conditions, must verify that the individual
accident prevention devices are intact and fully functional and that there are no adverse con-
ditions that can make handling dicult. The sta involved in these operations must NOT wear
rings, watches, jewellery, unfastened or loose clothing, such as ties, torn clothing, scarves, unbut
-
toned jackets or shirts with open zips etc ... In general, sta must use accident prevention garments.
Handling other than that indicated in this booklet can cause injury or fatal accidents to the
driver and damage to the equipment and structures of the installation site.
For the entire duration of the transport, the equipment must be kept upright on its pallet,
wrapped in cardboard: this packaging must be secured to the means of transport with suit-
able tools (e.g. ropes) to prevent it from overturning or moving during handling. Never turn
the equipment upside down or place it horizontally.
During the transport phase, the ambient temperature must never drop below 4°C/ 39,2°F.
All handling and lifting operations must be carried out with the utmost caution, checking
that all personnel are strictly at a safe distance, and that no one stands under suspended,
stationary or moving loads.
Before starting the operation, check the entire area of movement of the equipment, in or-
der to detect the possible presence of dangerous points.
Always make sure that the forklift has a capacity greater than the weight of the equipment to be
lifted: the operator of the forklift will be responsible for lifting the load. The use of unsuitable
equipment can lead to accidents to personnel carrying out the operation and/or damage to
the equipment.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the improper and non-compliant use of lifting,
transporting and handling devices.
• Depending on the type, size and weight, suitable packaging has been used to ensure integrity and
preservation during transport up to the delivery to the buyer, for this reason do not remove it before or
during transport.
• The equipment contains an airtight refrigeration circuit that contains flammable gas. For this reason,
during transport, take care not to damage any component of the cooling circuit itself. In the event of
damage, avoid naked flames or ignition sources, disconnect the appliance from the power supply, ven
-
tilate the room for a few minutes and notify technical service.

Electrical connection
The connection to the power supply network must comply with the regulations in force in the country of the equipment
installation and must be carried out by a specialized electrician authorized by the Manufacturer. Failure to comply with
these rules may cause damage and injury, void the warranty and release the Manufacturer from all liability.
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, always compare the system data with those shown on the
technical data plate.
When the appliance is in operation, the value of the supply voltage must not dier by +/-10% of the value shown
on the technical data plate.
Depending on the model, different electrical connections are required:
BCT/05 BCT/10 BCT/15
The equipment is supplied by the manufacturer complete with a power
cord and plug.
Connected the equipment to a power outlet in the installation’s site

The equipment is supplied with
a power cord and is NOT supplied
with a plug.
A specialized electrician
authorized by the Manufacturer must:
A) fit a
plug
on the power cord
or, a
lternatively
B) remove the supplied electrical
cable and connect a new electrical
cable to own electrical panel

Make sure that the cable:
- has no tight kinks;
- is not crushed by objects or other equipment;
- is not in contact with sharp or hot objects;
- does not hinder the passage of people.
Upstream, the equipment must be provided with an
easily accessible switch installed in the system accord-
ing to the regulations in force in the country of installa-
tion of the equipment. This switch must have an omnipolar con-
tact separation so as to guarantee complete disconnection
under overvoltage category III.
A correct earth connection
is mandatory and the earth ca-
ble must not be interrupted in any case by the protection switch.
When there are several appliances in the same room, it is manda-
tory to provide an equipotential connection using the appro-
priate terminal marked with the symbol
. This terminal allows
you to connect an earth cable according to the current legal re-
quirements. The effectiveness of the equipotential system must
be properly checked according to what is stated in the current
legislation.
If it is necessary to disconnect the power plug, first make sure
that the card is positioned to OFF on the display.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage or acci-
dents caused by failure to comply with these standards.

Knowing the appliance
Fig. 10
The blast chiller is an appliance with a powerful refrigeration system capable of rapidly lowering the core temperature of food Its
use is ideal in any kitchen, bakery and ice cream parlour.
The appliance consists of the following components:
1
appliance body;
2
condensing unit (only for equipment with integrated unit);
3
evaporating unit (only for equipment with integrated unit);
4
control panel;
5
stop function.
The work cycles that the machine can carry out are:
- BLAST CHILLING Positive blast chilling (3°C/37°F). The freshly baked product is brought to a temperature of 3°C/37°F in a short
time, thus inhibiting bacterial proliferation and avoiding dehydration by evaporation of the cooked product.
The product thus treated can be perfectly stored for 5-7 days without altering its organoleptic qualities. The
HARD function is used when the product to be cooled is large in size (thickness greater than 2-3 cm / 0,7-1,1
inch) or is particularly fatty. The equipment develops variable air temperatures to accelerate the penetration of
the cold into the product.
- FREEZING Negative blast chilling (deep freezing) (-18°C/0°F). This work cycle allows to quickly bring the core of the
product to a temperature of -18°C/0°F. The speed of the process avoids the formation of macro crystals ensuring
that, at the time of final use, the thawed food has the original consistency, colour and quality. The SOFT function
is used when the product to be cooled is particularly delicate.
- STORAGE At the end of each cycle, both positive and negative blast chilling, the appliance will automatically adopt the
expected storage temperature.
Each blast chilling (both negative and positive) provides two dierent end cycle modes after which storage begins:
temperature execution end: the cycle ends when the needle probe inserted in the core of the product reaches the set
temperature;
timed execution end: the cycle ends when the set time is reached.
This blast chiller is not an equipment suitable for the indefinite storage of food.
DANGER OF FROSTBITE: during its work phases, the appliance can manage very low temperatures, avoid direct contact with
the internal parts of the machine immediately after opening the door.

Protection devices
Fig. 11
The protection of the personnel exposed to the risks due to dangerous mobile elements is guaranteed by the presence of suitable
devices on the appliance:
1
grilles covering the cooling fans;
2
grille covering the condensing unit;
3
sensor located on the cooling circuit: signals any system overheating and pressure by putting the machine on standby;
4
sensor that detects and signals the opening of the door. If the door remains open for a time longer than a pre-set parameter, the
icon will appear on the display, an acoustic signal will sound and then the compressor will shut down.

How to get the best from the appliance
Arranging the food inside the cell
The foods to be chill blasted must be placed, in a single layer, in containers with low edges and suitable for food use.
Arrange them homogeneously and evenly inside the cell.
Correct positioning of the containers will allow the free circulation of air inside the latter: avoid obstructing the ventilation fans and
overloading the equipment beyond the permitted limits.

Carrying out scheduled maintenance
Regular and correct maintenance ensures optimal performance and a longer life of the equipment.
see chapt. “Ordinary maintenance” on page 42.
Using the needle probe correctly
The needle probe, during blast chilling, detects the temperature at the "heart" of the food: when it reaches 3°C/ 37°F or -18°C/ 0°F, the
cycle ends (if selected with a needle probe and not timed).
The needle probe must be inserted deeply into the food to be blast chilled: make sure that its tip reaches the "core" of the food, that
is, its innermost point, without coming out. Be careful not to stick it in very fat spots or close to the bones.
If the food is not very thick, insert the probe parallel to the support surface.
We recommend you always keep the probe clean and sanitized.

Setting and starting a blast chilling/freezing cycle
Fig. 16
1
Select the desired cycle (blast chilling +3°C/37°F or deep freezing -18°C/0°F). Both cycles consist of a blast chilling/deep freezing
phase, followed by a storage phase which, if not interrupted, has an infinite duration.
2
The display shows the settings of the phase of the chosen cycle:
temperature to be reached in the cell timed cycles: cycle duration in minutes
cycles with needle probe: temperature that the
probe must reach to end the cycle
fan speed
3
Choose if you wish to set a cycle with needle probe (“probe” icon) or a time one (“clock” icon):
...
the cycle ends when the needle probe detects that the temperature of the core it is inserted in has reached +3°C/
37°F
(blast chilling) or -18°C
/0°F
(deep-freezing). This mode is recommended so you can be certain that the food has been
properly blast chilled.
...the cycle ends after the set time rather than when the core temperature is reached: the default duration is 90 minutes
but it can be changed as you wish See chapt. “Modifying a cycle parameters” on page 31.
The two modes (needle probe and time) are mutually exclusive).
In the same screen you can:
3a
...make changes to the pre-set parameters (e.g. change the fan speed)
See chapt. “Modifying a cycle parameters” on page 31.
3b
...select the HARD (it is used when the product to be blast chilled is large or particularly fat) or SOFT function (delicate
deep-freezing).
Both cycles consist of two blast chilling phases with different parameters and a subsequent storage phase.
- 1
st
phase ("hard" for blast chilling and "soft" for deep freezing) with modifiable parameters;
- 2
nd
blast chilling/deep freezing phase with modifiable parameters;
- 3
rd
storage phase with modifiable parameters.
The end of a phase is signalled by an acoustic signal, then it automatically passes to the next. Also for this cycle it is
possible to select the time mode: in this case the passage to the next phase is given by the expiry of the time.
3c
... access settings reserved for expert personnel.
Blast chilling/freezing
In blast chiller mode you can choose between two different cycles:
POSITIVE BLAST CHILLING
+3°C/+37°F
The freshly baked product is brought to a temperature of 3°C/ 37°F in a short time, thus inhibiting bacterial proliferation and avoiding
dehydration by evaporation of the cooked product. The product thus treated can be perfectly stored for 5-7 days without altering its
organoleptic qualities.
NEGATIVE BLAST CHILLING (DEEP FREEZING)
-18°C/ 0°F
This work cycle allows to quickly bring the core of the product to a temperature of -18°C/0°F. The speed of the process avoids the
formation of macro crystals ensuring that, at the time of final use, the thawed food has the original consistency, colour and quality.

Close the door and press the “start” button to start the cycle (be careful, if you use a cycle with needle probe, remember to insert
it in the food to be blast chilled). If the cycle uses a needle probe, a test is performed to verify the correct insertion of the same
into the food to be blast chilled: if the test is not passed, the cycle automatically switches to timed mode: an acoustic signal starts
and the display shows the symbol of the alarm in progress.
Before starting the cycle, if changes have been made to the parameters, it is possible to save the cycle with the new
settings.

The cycle in progress screen appears.
During the cycle in progress it is always possible to:
6a
change the settings of the phase in progress See chapt. “Modifying a cycle parameters” on page 31.
6b
block the cycle before its effective end by pressing the “stop” button: if the cycle was timed, the initial screen will be dis-
played, if the cycle was with needle probe, the possibility is given to save the recipe.
Once the blast chilling/deep freezing cycle has ended, because the temperature of the needle probe has been reached or because
the time has expired, an acoustic signal is emitted and the storage phase begins which, if not interrupted, has an infinite duration.
If the cycle with the needle probe does not end within the time set in the factory, the anomaly will be signalled by the
presence of the alarm icon, but the blast chilling cycle will continue anyway. A cause might be overloading the appliance
beyond its loading limits See chapt. “Maximum load table ” on page 25.
Saving a cycle with the desired parameters
If changes have been made to the parameters of a cycle that is then started ("start"), the changes made will have an effect only on
the cycle in progress: this means that once the cycle is finished, if you reuse it, it will not have the changes made earlier. For this reason
it may be better to save the modified cycle so that you can reuse it every time you wish to.

Modifying a cycle parameters
The modification of the parameters of a cycle can be carried out before starting the cycle or during its execution.
In both cases the changes are temporary, that is, they only apply to the cycle that will be started or that is in progress.
If you want the changes made to be permanent, you must save the cycle with a name of your choice: in this way you can reuse it as
many times as you want.
See chapt. “Saving a cycle with the desired parameters” on page 30

Continuous cycle
The continuous cycle function is useful when you want to blast chill/freeze at the same time foods that have different
processing times. The foods must be inserted into the cell all at the same time; an acoustic signal and a message on the
display will warn when it is time to remove a food from the cell as it has been blast chilled.
The end of the cycle can be managed:
- using up to three needle probes a signal will be given when each probe detects that the set temperature has been reached;
- setting up to 4 timers a signal will be given when the time set for each timer has expired.
Fig. 19
1
Place the foods into the cell: if you decide to use the needle probes (up to three), insert them into the food: choose three different
sizes, e.g. one in a small piece, one in a medium one, one in a large one.
2
Select the "continuous cycle" function.
3
Touch the “probe” or “clock” symbol to select blast chilling with the needle probe (ends when the probe detects the set tempera-
ture) or timed (ends at the end of the set time).
4
Touch the “summary” button.
5
Set the desired probe temperatures or times (up to three probes and up to 4 timers are available): the countdown of the timers
or the probe temperature measurements start immediately, without needing to perform any other operation.
6 7
A food has reached the expected core temperature or its timer has expired; the temperature or the timer turn green, an
acoustic signal and a message warn that it can be taken from the cell while the others continue processing without the
need for any other operation. The cycle ends only when all the needles have reached the set temperature, when all the timers have
expired or if the "stop" key is pressed, afterwards it automatically passes to the storage phase.

Fish sanitization
Sanitizing fish products is very important as this procedure guarantees the inhibition of the Anisakis simplex bacteria which could be
present in raw or cooked fish.
Anisakiasis is a parasitic infection of the gastrointestinal tract caused by the ingestion of raw or undercooked fish products
containing the larvae of Anisakis simplex: if the larvae penetrate the gastric mucosa they cause violent abdominal pain, nausea
and vomiting. If, a week or two after the infection, they manage to pass into the intestine, an important immune response can
occur, with intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea and fever or intestinal perforation.
The sanitization cycle begins with a blast chilling phase: when the temperature detected by the needle probe reaches the end of
blast chilling temperature, the device will automatically go to the next phase, maintenance.
Once the time set for maintenance has elapsed, the device automatically switches to storage.

Thawing
The thawing function allows you to bring frozen
products back to a positive temperature in a
controlled and very rapid manner, in compliance
with HACCP standards. This translates into a lower
bacterial load and subsequent better cooking of the thawed
food as
the possibility of having parts of the food not fully
cooked is reduced.
Fig. 25
Thawing is managed by the equipment based on the load of
the equipment you intend to do: low, medium, high (maximum
quantity declared by the manufacturer).
Once the thawing cycle is finished, an acoustic signal is
emitted and the conservation phase starts which, if not
interrupted, lasts indefinitely.
Defrosting
Fig. 26
Defrosting is carried out automatically at regular intervals but,
if necessary, with this function it is possible to start a manual
defrosting cycle.
Sterilization
Fig. 27
The function starts a sterilization cycle of the cell, as long as
the door is closed and the needle probe detects a temperature
higher than 0°C.
The display, for the entire duration of the function, shows the
time left to the end (signalled by an acoustic signal).
Ice cream hardening
Fig. 28
The function allows a freezing cycle particularly suitable for
hardening the mass of ice cream.
The hardening cycle, at the end of the set time, does not
provide for a conservation phase but has an infinite duration
which must be blocked by pressing the "stop" button. The
end of the time is however signalled by an acoustic signal.
It is possible to change the cycle parameters as
explained in the chapt. “Modifying a cycle
parameters” on page 31.
Drying
The function starts a drying cycle by means of ventilation.
The function is interrupted when the time runs out or by
pressing the "stop" key.

Fig. 32
The only maintenance by the operator is the ordinary
cleaning of the equipment. The manufacturer must be
contacted for any anomaly or doubt encountered during
the cleaning operations not described in this manual. For
extraordinary maintenance (e.g. replacement of damaged
parts, repairs, etc...) contact a Service Centre requesting the
intervention of an authorized technician.
Any cleaning operation must be carried out only after
switching the appliance o by acting on the display
and disconnecting the plug: any operation per-
formed on the machine with the electrical system on can cause
serious accidents, even fatal, to people.
Any cleaning operation must be carried out after
wearing appropriate personal protective
equipment (e.g. gloves, etc ...).
The manufacturer does not accept any warranty
damage that is the result of lack of maintenance or
incorrect cleaning (e.g. use of unsuitable detergents).
To clean any part of the equipment DO NOT use:
- abrasive or powder detergents;
- aggressive or corrosive detergents (e.g. hydrochloric/muriatic
or sulphuric acid, caustic soda, etc ...). Attention! Do not use
these substances even to clean the floor under the appliance;
- abrasive or pointed tools (e.g. abrasive sponges, scrapers, steel
brushes, etc ...);
- jets of steam or pressurized water.
Scheduling the cleaning
Before carrying out any ordinary maintenance, it is mandatory to read the safety warnings on
the rst pages of this booklet.

Disposal
To avoid any unauthorized use and the risks associated with it before disposing of the equipment:
- make sure that it is no longer possible to use it: for this purpose, the power supply cable must be cut or removed
(with the appliance disconnected from the mains).
- ensure that no child can accidentally become trapped inside the blast chilling chamber while playing, to this end block the
door opening (for example with adhesive tape or latches).
The appliance is built with ferrous materials, electronic components and plastic. If it is necessary to dispose of it, separate the
different components according to the material they are made of, in order to simplify the differentiated disposal or any reuse
of the parts. Entrust the scrapping to appropriate disposal companies or, in the cases provided by law, return it to the dealer.
For scrapping, always refer to the laws in force in the country of use.
Pay attention that the equipment contains refrigerant gas whose control and recovery must be treated according
to the provisions of the regulations in force in the country of disposal.
The equipment must be disposed of separately from municipal waste.
Pursuant to art. 13 of Legislative Decree No. 49 of 2014 "Implementation of the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electri-
cal and electronic equipment", the crossed-out wheeled bin mark means that the product was placed on the market after 13
August 2005 and that at the end of its useful life it must not be treated as other waste but must be disposed of separately. All
the appliances are made of recyclable metal materials (stainless steel, iron, aluminium, galvanized sheet metal, copper, etc.)
in a percentage greater than 90% by weight.
It is necessary to pay attention to the management of this product at the end of its life by reducing any negative impacts on the en-
vironment and improving the efficiency of the use of resources, applying the principles of "polluter pays", prevention, preparation for
reuse, recycling and recovery. Please note that the illegal or incorrect disposal of the product entails the application of the penalties
provided for by current legislation.
Information on disposal in Italy
In Italy WEEE equipment must be delivered to:
- Collection Centres (also called ecological islands or ecological platforms)
- the dealer where you buy new equipment, who is required to accept it free of charge ("one on one" collection).
Information on disposal in European Union countries
The EU WEEE equipment directive has been adopted differently by each country, therefore if you want to dispose of this equipment
we suggest you contact the local authorities or the dealer to ask for the correct method of disposal.
