19
activated (if at all). Do not activate the function
more frequently than once every 12 hours.
2.
Make sure that the "Fast Freeze" function is not
active: "Shock Freeze" and "Fast Freeze"
functions cannot be active together at the same
time.
3.
Empty the "Shock Freeze" compartment.
4.
Activate the "Shock Freeze" function by briefly
touching the button
on the control panel:
the icon lights up and the fans on the bottom of
the compartment come on, increasing the flow
of cold air and accelerating the freezing process
as a result.
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 is activated while the "Shock Freeze"
function is running, the "Shock Freeze" function will
be interrupted (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. 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.
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.
