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.
