Automatic safety valve test. The kettle reminds the user to test the safety valve every third month. This operation is activated on the kettle's touch screen.

DEMO MODE The kettle enables safe training in the demo mode without activating any of the kettle functions. A comprehensive training application is available.

AUTOMATIC TAP WATER COOLING (C2) Fully automatic cooling straight to the desired temperature is available via the respective touch screen icon, and the Cool & Hold function keeps the food at the set temperature. Adjustable Cool & Hold temperature. (the cooling performance is subject to the temperature of the tap water being supplied to the kettle). Automatic steam jacket draining after cooling, or Cool & Hold. Automatic transfer to Hold when the product cannot be cooled further (saves energy). Food temperature is shown continuously on the display. Cooling of the steam jacket prior to opening the drain valve when cooling is commenced. Interrupting or stopping the cooling or changing the target temperature are enabled during the cooling phase. Various signals are available for the cooling phase.

AUTOMATIC ICE WATER COOLING (C3i) The kettle is equipped with connections for a separate ice water circulation system. The Ice Bank or Fluid Chiller (optional) chills the cooling water down to nearly zero degrees. Cooling of the food is started on the kettle's touch screen. By touching the fully automated cooling icon the food will be cooled down to the desired temperature, and the Cool & Hold function maintains the chosen temperature. It is possible to adjust the Cool and Hold setting. Cooling water is drained automatically after the cooling, or Cool & Hold. Automatic transfer to hold, if the product cannot be cooled further, which helps to save energy. The food temperature is displayed on the screen throughout the cooling phase, and cooling can be interrupted or stopped, and the target temperature may be adjusted during the cooling phase. Various signals are available for the cooling phase.

AUTOMATIC COMBINED COOLING (C5i) WITH TAP WATER AND ICE WATER The kettle is equipped with connections for a separate ice water circulation system. The Ice Bank or Fluid Chiller (optional) chills the cooling water down to nearly zero degrees. Cooling of the food is started on the kettle's touch screen. By touching the fully automated cooling icon the food will be cooled down to the desired temperature, and the Cool & Hold function maintains the chosen temperature. It is possible to adjust the Cool and Hold setting. Cooling with tap water commences when the maximum temperature difference has been reached and continues with ice water when the temperature difference is smaller enabling the ice water to circulate between the kettle and the Ice Bank. - Cooling water is drained automatically after the cooling or Cool &
Hold. Automatic transfer to hold, if the product cannot be cooled further, which helps to save energy. The food temperature is continuously displayed on the screen during the cooling phase. Automatic cooling of the steam jacket prior to opening the drain valve when cooling is started. Interrupting or stopping the cooling or changing the target temperature are enabled during the cooling phase. Various signals are available for the cooling phase.

DRAINING WITH PRESS.AIR OF THE COOLING WATER (PA) C3iPA/C5iPA COOLING Pressurised draining of the cooling water shortens the jacket drainage time and helps to save cooled ice water. Pressurised air removes the cool cooling water from the kettle jacket, and the water flows back to the Ice Bank.
