PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

N THE EVENT OF MALFUNCTION, SEEK THE

ASSISTANCE OF A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN

Delayed start of compressor during first starting

(for models E15-40 / E15-65 / E15.2-70)

Pre-heating function of compressor sump

When the board is reached by mins tension, a 2-hour pre-heating phase starts and the display

shows some blinking dashes “---”. During this phase the machine cannot be started.

NOTE

The delayed start takes place only if the machine is given power by its dedicated magne-

tothermic switch.

It is therefore advisable that, after first starting, the machineis started or stopped by using the

control panel pushbutton. This way, the compressor pre-heating function is guaranteed, and the

machine starting takes place in a direct way.

Initial pre-heating is necessary in order to safeguard the compressor’s life. Only if strictly neces-

sary (and under the customer’s responsability) it is possible to by-pass countdown by pressing

the pushbutton “printer/HACCP” for about 5 seconds

5.1 STARTING UP THE APPLIANCE

When the appliance is powered up, it can be:

• ON displays 15 and 16 and left LED 5A on push-button 5 on,

LED 1 off

• OFF-STAND-BY LED on push-button 1 on

To switch from one status to another, press push-button 1 .

Whenever the appliance switches from STAND-BY status to ON, a self-test is carried out: all

LEDs and displays are switched on, push-buttons are checked, then the installed software ver-

sion is displayed.

OPERATION

The main work cycles (chilling/freezing) performed by the appliance:

• SOFT BLAST CHILLING (+3°C)

Pre-cooked food is rapidly chilled (90’) to a temperature of +3°C, thus preventing prolifera-

tion of bacteria and preventing dehydration of the cooked food due to evaporation. Food can

thus be stored perfectly for 5 to 7 days without altering its original qualities.

• HARD BLAST CHILLING (+3°C)

This process is designed to cool food products with a thickness greater than 2-3 cm. Variable

air temperatures are used to accelerate penetration of cold into the product.

This function is not activated if machine stops/starts operating due to lack of power

during working cicle.
