Additional Details and Usage

Cooling and storage functions

Cooling quickly lowers food temperature from 80/90 °C to 3 °C in less than 90 minutes to prevent bacterial growth, prolong the average life of food and maintain the quality of food. Cold storage allows food to be kept at a desired temperature between −35 °C and +75 °C and served at its best to enhance flavours and aromas.

Pre-cooling cools the cavity to −30 °C before inserting food into the blast chiller to ensure the best cooling and freezing results; a 15–minute pre-cooling cycle is recommended. Deep freezing rapidly lowers food from 0/90 °C to −18 °C in less than 270 minutes to extend the average life of food and keep organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, avoiding macro-crystal formation that can damage food fibres.

Bottles cooling makes it possible to quickly cool wine and beverage bottles, reducing the need for storage in the refrigerator; cooling takes place at about 1 °C per minute.

Warming, cooking and proving

Ready to eat keeps food safely at refrigerator temperature throughout the day and heats it just before return so it is warm and ready to be consumed. Low temperature cooking cooks food at a constant temperature lower than traditional cooking; meat becomes more tender and juicy, maintaining a softness associated with this technique.

Dough leavening / Yogurt creates suitable conditions for correct leavening by keeping mixtures at controlled temperatures for the desired time and avoiding sudden humidity changes. This feature also allows the creation of homemade yogurt.

Cleaning and maintenance

Electric Automatic cleaning is a drying cycle of the cavity to be run with the door open, eliminating condensation formed during use.

Controls and connectivity

Touch controls allow the appliance to be programmed by simply touching the control panel. Appliances with Wi–Fi connectivity can be monitored and remotely controlled via the SmegConnect app using compatible smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android).

Compact installation

Compact appliances with a height of 45 cm are a solution designed to meet functional requirements where kitchen units have a small installation height. They are available in several types and different styles.
