6. To achieve maximum freezing speed, we
recommend not to deactivate the “Shock Freeze”
function until its 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, first
deactivate the Fast Freeze function (holding the
button for 3 seconds, then briefly touch the
button,
without keeping it pressed for more than 1 second.
2.9. 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).
2.10. 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.
2.11. AUTOMATIC NO FROST
This product is designed to defrost automatically
according to conditions of use and ambient humidity
No Frost
freezers provide chilled air circulation around
the storage areas and prevent the formation of ice,
thereby completely eliminating the need for defrosting.
Frozen items don’t stick to the walls, labeling stays
legible and storage space remains neat and clear.
In combination with the 6th Sense/ Green Intelligence,
not only does it control the sensor, but directs the
cooling power exactly where it is needed, optimizing
energy efficiency.
*Available on selected models only. Please check on the QUICK START GUIDE if this function is actually available on your model.
