time.
3. Empty the "Shock Freeze" compartment.
4. Activate the "Shock Freeze" function by briefly
touching the button
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 bottom of the
compartment, so that cold air can circulate.

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 is activated while the "Shock Freeze"
function is running, the "Shock Freeze" function will
be interrupted (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.

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
When the Eco Night indicator
function is OFF.
NOTE: The declared appliance energy
consumption refers to operation with the Eco
Night function deactivated.
