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.
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
