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.
