ECO NIGHT FUNCTION (ECO NIGHT)
Eco Night function allows one to concentrate the energy
consumption of the product during off-peak time (usually coinciding
with night time), when energy is available in large quantity and it costs
less than during the day (only in specific countries –using multiple-rate
system based on off-peak times- check your rate plan with your utility
company). To activate the function, press the button Eco Night at the
reduced rate start time (depending on the specific rates plan). For
example, if the reduced rate applies starting at 10:00 p.m., press the
button that corresponds to that time. When the LED is ON, the function
is active. After you activate the function, the product automatically
starts to adapt the energy consumption to the time (i.e. Consuming
more energy during the night then during the day).
Important: In order to work properly, the function must be enabled
both during the night and during the day. The function will remain
enabled until deactivated (it will also be deactivated in the event of a
blackout, or whenever the appliance is turned off). To deactivate the
function, press the button again. When the LED is OFF, the function is
not active.
Note: the power consumption of the appliance is declared with the Eco
night function disabled.
FREEZE CONTROL
"Freeze Control" is an advanced technology that reduces
temperature fluctuations in the whole freezer compartment to
minimum, thanks to an innovative air system, totally independent from
the fridge. Freeze burns are reduced up to 50% and food preserves its
original quality and color. To activate/deactivate the "Freeze Control"
function press for 3 seconds the "Eco Night" button
works properly in a defined range of temperature: between -22°C and
-24°C. When the function is engaged and the current temperature in
the freezer is set to the warmer set point than -22°C, the temperature is
automatically set to -22°C to match the working range. If the function
is engaged and the user modify the freezer temperature out of the
working range, the function is automatically switched off. In case of
"Fast freeze" is engaged, the function "Freeze control" is inhibited until
the "Fast Freeze" function switched off.
