2.7. PARTY MODE*

Use this function to chill drinks inside the freezer

compartment. 30 minutes after selection (the time

required to chill a 0.75 l bottle without the glass breaking),

the symbol flashes, an acoustic alarm sounds: remove the

bottle from the freezer compartment and press the Stop

Alarm button to disable the alarm.

Important: do not leave the bottle inside the freezer

compartment longer than the time necessary for chilling.

2.8. SHOCK FREEZE*

The “Shock Freeze” compartment is specifically designed

to freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food extremely quickly. The

ultra-fast “Shock Freeze” function minimizes the formation

of ice crystals inside the food as it freezes, thus ensuring

it is of the best possible quality when defrosted prior

to consumption. When the “Shock Freeze” function is

not active, the compartment can be used as normal for

traditional freezing or for the storage of already frozen

foods.

Note: When the Shock Freeze function is active you may

hear a humming sound. This is absolutely normal and is

caused by airflow that permits optimum cold distribution

inside compartment.

Activating and deactivating the “Shock Freeze”

function:

1. Make sure at least 12 hours have passed since the last

time the “Shock Freeze” function was activated (if at

all). Do not activate the function more frequently than

once every 12 hours.

2. Make sure that the “Fast Freeze” function is not active:

“Shock Freeze” and “Fast Freeze” functions cannot be

active together at the same time.

3. Empty the “Shock Freeze” compartment.

4. Activate the “Shock Freeze” function by briefly touching

the button

on the control panel: 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 back of the compartment, so that cold air can

circulate.

6. To achieve maximum freezing speed, we recommend

not to deactivate the “Shock Freeze” function until its

automatic deactivation, keeping closed the door

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, first deactivate the

Fast Freeze function (holding the

button for 3 seconds,

then briefly touch the

button, without keeping it

pressed for more than 1 second.

2.9. FAST FREEZE*

The amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in

24 hours is indicated on the appliance rating plate.

This function can be used for optimum appliance

performance, 24 hours before placing fresh food in the

freezer Please follow the instructions contained in the

Quick Start Guide to activate/deactivate the function.

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.

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