GOOD NIGHT FUNCTION (Good night)

Good night function allows one to concentrate the energy consumption of the product during 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 multiple-rate system based on off-peak times- check your rate plan with your utility company). To activate the function, press the button Good 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.

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. 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 “Good 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.
