SHOCK FREEZE (depending on the model)
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 17
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.
