2.7. 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.
