how does it work?
First, place the food and drink that you want to cool rapidly into the express chill zone. Make sure to lower the bottom hatch of the express chill zone before closing the freezer door.
To activate the express chill zone, press the express chill zone button on the display a number of times until you reach the desired time. After 5 seconds it will start to work.
A countdown clock on the display screen will show the remaining time. When the time is up, an alarm will sound, the countdown clock will read “0” and the button light will flash for a minute, indicating that your food and drink are ready to be taken out. The alarm will sound until you press the express chill zone button.
The express chill zone Function will deactivate automatically:
a.If you keep pressing the express chill zone button, thereby exiting the programme before the required time has lapsed.
b.If you press the express chill zone button once the programme is completed and the alarm is sounding.
c.Once the cooling time has lapsed, the alarm has sounded for one minute and stopped.

note: Times vary depending on the initial temperature of your foods and drinks. If upon programme completion, the items haven’t reached the desired temperature, you can add additional minutes using the display. The express chill zone can be reprogrammed after 5 minutes have passed since last use. If you decide to cool your items for longer, be alert for when the alarm rings to indicate the foods and drinks are ready and remove them from the compartment. This will prevent them from freezing, which is especially important for carbonated beverages.

important: You should not store carbonated drinks with the intention of freezing them in the express chill zone. This programme should only be used to cool them. DO NOT exceed the recommended times. Your alarm will sound for a minute after the time has lapsed, which is when you need to take your items out of the compartment.
