ECO NIGHT FUNCTION (ECO NIGHT)
Eco Night function allows one to concentrate the energy consumption of the product during the 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 a 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 . ****The function 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.
HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD
Legend 
FREEZER COMPARTMENT Freezing fresh food
- It is advisable to set the temperature colder or turn on the Fast Freeze/Fast Cool* at least four hours before removing the food from the freezer compartment, to prolong the preservation of the food during the defrosting phase.
- To defrost, unplug the appliance and remove the drawers. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. To prevent the water from escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you place an absorbent cloth on the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly.
- Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully.
- Turn the appliance back on and put the food back inside. To remove the frost on the STOP FROST* accessory, follow the CLEANING.
**Ice cubes***
Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and put it back in the freezer
compartment. Do not, under any circumstances, use sharp or pointed objects to
remove the ice.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is
indicated on the rating plate.
Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves etc. Make sure
that these components can still close easily after loading.
Light system (depending on model)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The drawers, baskets and shelves should be kept in their current position unless otherwise specified in this quick guide. The light system inside the refrigerator compartment uses LED lights, allowing for better lighting than with traditional light bulbs, as well as for very low energy consumption.
Doors and lids of the refrigeration appliance should be removed before disposal in the landfill, to avoid children or animals getting trapped inside.
