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
and the acoustical alarm sounds when electricity is
resupplied. To reset the alarm press the Stop Alarm
button just once.
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.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
The acoustic alarm sounds and temperature indicator
(°C) blinks. The alarm is activated when:
• The appliance is connected to the power supply
after prolonged disuse.
• The freezer compartment temperature is too high.
• The quantity of foods loaded into the freezer
exceeds that indicated on the rating plate.
• The freezer door has been left open for a long
time.
To mute the alarm buzzer press Stop Alarm button
just once. The Alarm indicator
turned-off as soon as the freezer compartment
reaches a temperature below -10°C and the
temperature set indicator (°C) stop blinking and
shows the chosen setting.
NOTE: The temperature alarm may even be activated
following prolonged opening of the door or after
fresh food products have been placed in the freezing
zone; the temporary increase in temperature signaled
does not affect the perfect preservation of already
frozen food.

acoustic alarm sounds. The alarm is activated when
the door is left open for more than 2 minutes. To

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
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.
6. To achieve maximum freezing speed, we
recommend not to deactivate the "Shock Freeze"
function until it is automatic deactivation,
keeping closed the door.
