5. Place the food to be frozen inside the
compartment, a few centimeters (min. 2 cm)
away from the fans on the bottom of the
compartment, so that cold air can circulate.
6. To achieve maximum freezing speed, we
recommend not to deactivate the "Shock
Freeze" function until it is automatic
deactivation, keeping closed the door.
7. The "Shock Freeze" function is automatically
deactivated 4-5 hours after its activation: the
indicator switches off and the fans are
deactivated.
The "Shock Freeze" function may nevertheless
be switched off at any time as desired, by briefly
pressing the button on the control panel:
the indicator switches off and the fans are
deactivated.
Attention:
• Incompatibility with the "Fast Freeze"
function
To guarantee optimal performance, the "Shock
Freeze" and "Fast Freeze" functions cannot be used
at the same time. Therefore, if the "Fast Freeze"
function has been already engaged, it has to be
disengaged first to activate the "Shock Freeze"
function (and vice-versa).
• If the fans in the Shock Freeze
compartment do not start working
After the "Shock Freeze" function has been
activated, it may happen that the indicator
lights up as expected, but the fans do not start
working. This is normal and means that freezer
defrosting is in progress. At the end of the
defrosting phase (maximum duration: 1.5 hours),
the fans will automatically start working and the
"Shock Freeze" process will begin as normal.
• If the indicator does not light up.
If, after the button is pressed, the icon
lights up: in this case the button has been
pressed for too long. To activate the "Shock
Freeze" function, briefly touch the button ,
without keeping it pressed for more than 1
second.
FAST FREEZE
The amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be
frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the
appliance rating plate.
For optimum appliance performance, press for 3
seconds the Shock Freeze/Fast Freeze button
(until the Fast Freeze indicator lights up) 24
hours before placing fresh food in the freezer
(according to QUICK START GUIDE).
After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on
Fast Freeze function is generally sufficient; After 50
hours the Fast Freeze function automatically
deactivates.
Attention: In order to save energy, when freezing
small amounts of food, the fast freeze function can
be deactivated after a few hours.
• Incompatibility with the "Shock Freeze"
function
To guarantee optimal performance, the "Shock
Freeze" and "Fast Freeze" functions cannot be
used at the same time. Therefore, if the "Fast
Freeze" function has been already engaged, it has
to be disengaged first to activate the "Shock
Freeze" function (and vice-versa).
ECO NIGHT FUNCTION
(NIGHT TIME RATE)
The Eco Night function enables appliance energy
consumption to be concentrated in the reduced
rate hours (generally at night), when electricity is
readily available and costs less than during the
daytime (only in countries that utilise a time based
multi-rate system - check energy rates with the
local electricity company). To activate the function,
press the button at the reduced rate start time
(depending on the specific rates plan). For example,
if the reduced rate starts at 8 p.m., press the button
at that time. When the Eco Night indicator
is ON, the function is ON. Once the function is
activated, the appliance automatically adapts energy
consumption according to the time selected, i.e.
consuming less energy during the day than at night.
IMPORTANT: To operate properly, the function
must be on during the night and day. The function
remains on until deactivated (or it is deactivated in
case of a power failure or appliance switch-off). To
deactivate the function, press the button again.
When the Eco Night indicator is OFF, the
function is OFF.
Note: The declared appliance energy consumption
refers to operation with the Eco Night function
deactivated.
