Built-in blast chiller for home: chills and freezes fast from +75 to -40 °C, 11 functions, fits a 60 × 45 cm niche. Four finishes, made in Italy.
A blast chiller, or blast freezer, cools hot food down fast and freezes it in no time. Taste, texture and food safety stay intact. The Fhiaba BF45 is made for the home kitchen: it fits a 60 × 45 cm niche next to or below your oven and takes your oven dish straight in.
The BF45 is 456 mm high, 598 mm wide and 570 mm deep. It fits the same 45 cm niche as a compact combi or steam oven.
Stainless steel, black glass or mirror glass with a steel handle, or handleless black glass. Match it to your oven.
Add a vacuum drawer. Vacuum seal first, then blast freeze, and fresh produce keeps for months without losing flavour.
A normal freezer cools slowly, so large ice crystals form and damage meat, fish and vegetables. A blast chiller blows very cold air over the food. Hot dishes pass quickly through the +65 to +10 °C range where bacteria multiply fastest, and blast freezing creates only fine crystals, so colour, taste and texture survive.
A core probe tracks the temperature inside the food; everything runs from a 4.3 inch TFT touchscreen.
