2. FUNCTIONS

2.1. SMART DISPLAY*

This function can be used to save energy. Please follow 

the instructions contained in the Quick Start Guide to 

activate/deactivate the function. Two seconds after 

activation of the Smart Display, the display goes off. 

To adjust the temperature or use other functions, it 

is necessary to activate the display by pressing any 

button. After about 15 seconds without performing any 

action, the display goes off again. When function is 

deactivated the normal display is restored. The Smart 

Display is automatically disabled after a power failure. 

Remember that this function does not disconnect the 

appliance from the power supply, but only reduce the 

energy consumed by external display.

Note: 

The declared appliance energy consumption 

refers to operation with the Smart Display function 

activated. This function is available only on the model 

with User Interface on the door.

2.2. PROFREEZE

ProFreeze function works to maintain the right 

temperature in the following cases:

- Door opened for a while

The function activates when door opening causes the 

internal temperature to increase to values that do not 

ensure safe storage of food and remains active until 

optimal storage conditions have been restored.

- Fresh food stored in the freezer

The function activates when fresh food is placed in 

the freezer and remains active until optimal freezing 

conditions are reached so as to ensure the best 

freezing quality with the lowest power consumption.

Note: 

Besides the quantity of food loaded into the 

freezer, ambient temperature and the quantity of 

food already inside the freezer affect the duration of 

ProFreeze function. Therefore significant duration 

variations are quite normal.

2.3. ON/STAND BY 

This function turns On/Stand-by the freezer 

compartments. To put the product in Stand-by, press & 
hold the On/Stand-by button   for 3 seconds. When 

the appliance is in Stand-by, the light inside the freezer 

compartment does not work. Remember that this 

operation does not disconnect the appliance from the 

power supply. To switch the appliance On again, simply 
press the On/Stand-By button  .

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.

*Available on selected models only. Please check on the QUICK START GUIDE if this function is actually available on your model.
