compartments. To put the product in Stand-by, press &

2.4. BLACK OUT ALARM
After a power blackout, your product is designed to
automatically monitor the temperature in the freezer
when electricity is resupplied. If the temperature in
the freezer rises above freezing level, the Black Out
indicator
turns on, the Alarm indicator
blinks
and the acoustical alarm sounds when electricity is
resupplied.
To reset the alarm press the Stop Alarm button
just
once.
In case of Black Out Alarm, the following actions are
recommended:
• If the food in the freezer is unfrozen but still cold, all
the food in the freezer should be eaten within the
next 24 hours.
• If the food in the freezer is frozen, this indicates the
food was thawed and then refrozen when electricity
was re-supplied which degrades taste, quality
and nutritional value and also could be unsafe. It
is recommended to not consume the food but to
dispose of the entire content of the freezer. The
Black Out Alarm is designed to provide guidance on
food quality in the freezer in the event of electricity
black out. This system does not guarantee food
quality or safety and consumers are advised to use
their own judgment in evaluating food quality in
freezer compartment.
2.5. TEMPERATURE ALARM
The acoustic alarm sounds and temperature indicator
(°C) blinks. The alarm is activated when:
• The appliance is connected to the power supply
after prolonged disuse
• The freezer compartment temperature is too high
• The quantity of fresh foods loaded into the freezer
exceeds that indicated on the rating plate
• The freezer door has been left open for a long time.
To mute the alarm buzzer press Stop Alarm button
just once. The Alarm indicator
is automatically
turned-off as soon as the freezer compartment reaches
a temperature below -10°C and the temperature set
indicator (°C) stop blinking and shows the chosen
setting.

alarm sounds. The alarm is activated when the door
is left open for more than 2 minutes. To disengage the
door alarm close the door, or press once Stop Alarm
button to mute the acoustic alarm.
2.7. PARTY MODE*

compartment. 30 minutes after selection (the
time required to chill a 0.75 l bottle without the
glass breaking), the symbol flashes, an acoustic
alarm sounds: remove the bottle from the freezer
compartment and press the Stop Alarm button to
disable the alarm.

do not leave the bottle inside the freezer
compartment longer than the time necessary for
chilling.
2.8. ShOCK FREEZE*
The “Shock Freeze” compartment is specifically
designed to freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food extremely
quickly. The ultra-fast “Shock Freeze” function
minimizes the formation of ice crystals inside the food
as it freezes, thus ensuring it is of the best possible
quality when defrosted prior to consumption. When the
“Shock Freeze” function is not active, the compartment
can be used as normal for traditional freezing or for the
storage of already frozen foods.
Note:
When the Shock Freeze function is active you
may hear a humming sound. This is absolutely normal
and is caused by airflow that permits optimum cold
distribution inside compartment.
Activating and deactivating the “Shock Freeze”
function:
1. Make sure at least 12 hours have passed since
the last time the “Shock Freeze” function was
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 back of the compartment, so that cold air can
circulate.
*Available on selected models only. Please check on the QUICK START GUIDE if this function is actually available on your model.
