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

"Shock Freeze" and "Fast Freeze" functions cannot be
active together at the same time.

icon lights up and the fans on the bottom of the
compartment come on, increasing the flow of cold air

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.

not to deactivate the "Shock Freeze" function until its
automatic deactivation, keeping closed the door
