MAkING ICE CUBES
ECO NIGHT
(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).
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 Reset/Alarm
button just once.
Fill 2/3 of the ice tray (if available) with water and
put it back in the freezer compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the
ice under any circumstances.
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.
To deactivate the function, press the button
again. When the Eco Night indicator is OFF, the
function is OFF.
Note
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).
The declared appliance energy consumption refers
to operation with the Eco Night function
deactivated.
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.
