6.2 LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE KEYBOARD
To lock or unlock the keyboard operate as follows:
To lock: hold the down key and the start/stop key down for 1 s: the display will show Loc for 1s. When the keyboard is locked, no operation is allowed.
To unlock: hold the down key and the start/stop key down for 1 s: the display will show the URL for 1s.
6.3 OPERATING CYCLES
The devices can manage the following operating cycles:

• Blast chilling and conservation
• Hard blast chilling and conservation
• Deep freezing and conservation
• Soft deep freezing and conservation.

6.3A BLAST CHILLING AND CONSERVATION
The temperature-controlled blast chilling and conservation cycle is divided into the following two phases:

• Blast chilling

• Conservation
  At the conclusion of a phase, the device passes automatically to the next. Operate as indicated to start the cycle:

• Press and release the blast chilling key: the blast chilling LED and the core probe LED will flash.

• Press start, when the sensor measures a temperature identical to the camera (sound signal and the probe flash- es), it automatically switches to time.

• Selecting the temperature control, the display will show the temperature that the probe will detect at the end of blast chilling.

• By selecting the time control, the display will show the duration of the cycle.

• After selecting the type of blast chilling (temperature or time control) it is possible to modify the end cycle value by pressing (within 15 seconds) the key increase or the key decrease until reaching the chosen value.

• At this point, to start the cycling press and release the start/stop key.

• If the temperature control has been selected, the system starts a test to verify the correct insertion of the probe. If the test is successfully completed the cooling cycle will start; otherwise, a time-controlled cooling cycle will be started (in this case, the probe led turns off and the time led lights up).

• To stop the cooling cycle, keep pressing the start/stop key.

• During temperature-controlled chilling, the cell temperature can be displayed by pressing the blast chilling key. After 15 seconds, the display returns to displaying the temperature detected by the probe.

• If the temperature detected by the probe reaches the blast chilling end value within the maximum expected duration, the cycle will be considered correct and the blast chiller will automatically go to the conservation phase.

• When switching from blast chilling to the conservation phase, the buzzer is activated for a set time.

• During storage, the display shows the temperature detected by the probe and the LED conservation lights up in the lower part of the display.

• If the temperature detected by the probe does not reach the blast chilling end value within the maximum expected- ed duration, blast chilling will not be completed correctly but will continue.

• The probe LED will flash and the buzzer will be activated.

6.3B HARD BLAST CHILLING AND CONSERVATION
The temperature-controlled hard blast chilling and conservation cycle is divided into the following three phases:

• blast chilling hard phase

• blast chilling

• conservation At the conclusion of a phase, the device passes automatically to the next.
  Operate as indicated to start the cycle:

• Press and release the blast chilling key: the blast chilling LED and the core probe LED will flash.

• Press and release the hard/soft key (the hard LED will flash).

• At this point, to start the cycle press and release the start/stop key.

6.3C DEEP FREEZING AND CONSERVATION
The temperature-controlled deep freezing and conservation cycle is divided into the following two phases:

• Deep freezing
• Conservation On the conclusion of a phase, the device passes automatically to the next.

Operate as indicated to start the cycle:

• Press and release the deep freezing key (the LED blast chilling, deep freezing, hard, and probe will flash).
• Pressing again the deep freezing key the system passes from the temperature control to the time control (in this case, the probe led turns off and the time led lights up).
• At this point, to start the cycling press and release the start/stop key.
• The system starts a test to verify the correct insertion of the probe. If the test is successfully completed the cooling cycle will start.

6.3D SOFT DEEP FREEZING AND CONSERVATION
The soft deep freezing and conservation cycle is divided into the following two phases:

• The deep freezing soft phase
• Deep freezing
• Conservation
  At the conclusion of a phase, the device passes automatically to the next.

Operate as indicated to start the cycle:

• Press and release the deep freezing key (the LED blast chilling, deep freezing, hard and probe will flash).
• Press and release the hard/soft key (the hard lead turns off).
• At this point, to start the cycle press and release the start/stop key.
• The system starts a test to verify the correct insertion of the probe. If the test is successfully completed the cooling cycle will start.

6.3E PRE-COOLING
Each cooling cycle can be preceded by a pre-cooling phase.
Operate as indicated to start pre-cooling:

• Hold the blast chilling key down for 1 second: (the pre-cooling LED will flash).
• The pre-cooling phase will start and continue until the temperature for pre-cooling is reached.
• When the cell reaches the expected temperature, the pre-cooling led stops flashing and remains fixed.
• The buzzer is activated for one second.
• Pre-cooling continues until a cycle is started. To stop pre-cooling:
• Hold the blast chilling key down for 1 second or start a cycle.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

This section has been dedicated to the end-user and is extremely important for the appliance to work correctly in the long term. A few simple operations conscientiously carried out at set periods can avoid the need of servicing by specialized personnel. The operations to be made do not require any particular technical knowledge and can be summarised in simple controls of the appliance components.
BEFORE BEGINNING ANY TYPE OF MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING WORK ON THE APPLIANCE DISCONNECT THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY.DO NOT WASH THE APPLIANCE DIRECTLY WITH HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JETS. AVOID SPRAYING WATER DIRECTLY ONTO ELECTRICAL PARTS.
APPLIANCE Check that the bodywork is clean. Pay particular attention to the sections in steel. Clean the inside and outside surfaces only with warm water and soap or a neutral detergent. Rinse with plenty of water and dry thoroughly. If the appliance is inactive for long periods of time proceed as follows: turn the main switch to the OFF
position. Remove the plug from its socket. Empty the appliance and clean. Leave the door half-open to avoid the creation of bad smells. Protect the compressor group from dust.
CORE PROBE Clean well the edge for the first use of it, and after every use. If it’s not in use, after cleaning, cover with its rubber cap and place it in the proper side, within the appliance’s chamber.
CONDENSING COIL It is important that the coil is capable of offering the maximum possible heat exchange. It is therefore important that its surface be always free of dirt or dust that may be deposited by the effect of the fan’s operation. Use a vacuum cleaner and soft-bristled brush to remove all the impurities such as paper or dust that may have been deposited on the coil. Check that the aluminum fins have not been damaged or bent; if this is the case “comb” the coil with the appropriate tool until the original condition is regained to optimize the air flux. POWER CABLE Check that the power cable that connects the appliance to the mains socket is not cut, cracked or altered in such a way as to compromise the insulation. Contact your authorized service center if this requires maintenance.
