The fact that they are situated on the top part of the  
freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no  
longer comes into contact with the food placed inside  
the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of  
the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the  
hole after filling with water is also provided).  
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.  
Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with  
water through the opening provided.  
ODOUR FILTER: some models  
are fitted with a new active  
carbon odour filter, which  
ensures better air quality inside  
the refrigerator.  
The filter is located on the bottom  
right-hand side, inside the  
ventilation opening.  
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX  
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes  
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to  
melt and empty the tray).  
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments  
each mould fills with water (see diagram).  
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the  
tray back.  
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time  
approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard  
surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes  
come loose and take them out through the opening.

Start-up and use  
Starting the appliance  
automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the  
conditions inside and outside the refrigerator; the operation  
of this function is signalled by the text “AUTO”.  
GB  
! After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it in  
an upright position and wait at least 3 hours before  
connecting it to the electricity mains, to make sure it  
operates as it should.  
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator well using warm  
water and bicarbonate of soda before placing food  
inside it.  
Whenever it is necessary to activate the “I Care” function  
at temperatures that are different to the standard storage  
values, the “I Care” button must be pressed as soon as the  
function is activated and held down while the new  
temperatures are set using the + and - buttons. Under  
these conditions, the temperatures may be set to 4°C, 5°C  
and 6°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C, -19°C  
and -20°C for the freezer compartment.  
The appliance comes with a motor protection control  
system which makes the compressor start  
approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The  
compressor also starts each time the power supply is  
cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).  
When the HOLIDAY function is active the temperature may  
not be adjusted, however the appliance adjusts itself  
automatically so that the optimal settings for the situation  
are used: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment and -  
18°C for the freezer compartment. This function is  
indicated by the text.  
Freezer Compartment  
When the product is switched on (the ON/OFF button is  
pressed for more than two seconds) the freezer  
compartment is set to its default value of -18°C. We  
recommend that the SUPER FREEZE function is set (the  
freezer display shows the text “SF”) in order to accelerate  
the cooling process of the compartment; when the inside  
of the compartment has reached its optimal temperature  
the function will be deactivated and the food may be  
placed inside.  
To activate and deactivate the functions simply press the  
relevant button and the function status will be signalled by  
the corresponding LED switching on or off.  
Several functions (SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, ICE  
PARTY, I CARE) are incompatible with others  
(HOLIDAY,...); remember that there is a pre-set order of  
priority which will help you to use the product in the best  
possible way.  
When the Ice Party function has finished, press the ICE  
PARTY button to stop the relevant LED from flashing. This  
flashing indicates that the function is complete and that the  
bottle should be removed from the freezer compartment.  
Refrigerator Compartment  
When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator  
compartment is set to its default value of +5°C. We  
recommend that the SUPER COOL function is set (the  
refrigerator display shows the text “SC”) in order to  
accelerate the cooling process of the compartment. After a  
few hours it will be cool enough for food to be placed  
inside.  
Child Lock  
To enable the Child Lock function, the ALARM button must  
be pressed for 2 seconds; the button lock activation is  
confirmed by a short beep and the text “LO” “CH” appears  
on the refrigerator and freezer displays. This text is then  
replaced by the refrigerator and freezer temperatures set  
prior to when the child lock function was enabled.  
To deactivate the function, press the ALARM button or 2  
seconds; deactivation will be confirmed by a short beep  
and the text “CH” “OF” will appear on the refrigerator and  
freezer displays for 1 second.  
Navigating the display  
Setting the temperatures:  
If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer  
displays will indicate the temperatures set at that moment.  
To change them, simply press the + and - buttons  
corresponding to the compartment for which you wish to  
change the set temperature. To be specific, each time one  
of the buttons is pressed the temperature is increased or  
decreased by 1°, and the number of illuminated horizontal  
bars is adjusted accordingly. The temperature values that  
may be selected for the refrigerator compartment are  
+8°C, +7°C, +6°C, +5°C, +4°C, +3°C and +2°C, while the  
values that may be set for the freezer are -18°C, -19°C, -  
120°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C.  
The temperatures are automatically set to +5°C for the  
refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer  
compartment (these are standard food storage values).

Ever Fresh system  
GB  
No Frost  
The Ever Fresh system is activated and deactivated by  
means of a button on the refrigerator shelf, an external  
button on the display and a knob on the cover of each  
container.  
This system can be recognised  
by the aeration cells located on  
the back walls of each  
compartment.  
! There is a pump in the centre of the Ever Fresh shelf  
which sucks the air out of the containers.  
The No Frost system circulates  
cold air continuously to collect  
humidity and prevent ice and frost  
formation. The system maintains  
Activating and deactivating Ever Fresh  
an optimal humidity level in the compartment,  
preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the  
food from sticking together and making defrosting a  
thing of the past.  
1. Fill the container. Make sure that the food inside  
leaves room for the container to be closed properly.  
2. Put the lid on the container.  
! Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or  
containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back  
panel.

• Do not use the containers for any type of cooking (in the  
microwave or oven, on an electric plate, over a flame,  
etc.).  
E
GB  
• Do not put the containers in the freezer.  
• Do not clean the lids in a dishwasher.  
Vacuum storage  
• Pre-packed foods stored using the vacuum system  
must still be consumed before the use-by date.  
! The lid of the container is provided with a circular  
valve. When the valve is low (figure D) there is no air  
inside the container. When the valve is high (figure E) air  
is present inside the container.  
• Repeatedly storing these vacuum-packed foods does  
not change their natural tendency to spoil.  
• Do not store defrosted foods using the vacuum system  
unless they have been cooked already.  
! If, after you have created a vacuum (instructions  
1-9), the valve moves upward (see figure E) within three  
days, check the lid has been put on the container  
properly and/or that the container is intact. Check the  
storage status of the food before repeating the vacuum  
storage operation.  
• Stored food should be prepared while fresh (chopped,  
sliced, peeled, cooked) and should be in perfect  
condition.  
• Perishable foods stored using the vacuum system  
must still be stored inside the refrigerator.  
! The Ever Fresh function is equipped with a safety  
device that switches off the pump in case of malfunction  
(if the container is missing or incorrectly positioned, for  
example). If the safety device is activated, the Ever  
Fresh button must be pressed to restore normal  
operation.  
• Cooked foods must be left to cool before being stored  
using the vacuum system.  
Using the refrigerator to its full potential  
• Adjust the temperature using the display.  
Using Ever Fresh to its full potential  
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the  
temperature quickly, for example, when you place a  
large number of new food items inside a fridge and  
the internal temperature rises slightly. This function  
quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing  
the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.  
The following information is a guide on how to get the  
best from the Ever Fresh system and the food it stores.  
Ever Fresh containers  
• The maximum fill level marked on the container must  
be respected when storing liquids of any kind.  
Vacuuming actual liquid from the container may  
damage the Ever Fresh pump.  
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the  
compartment, never hot foods (see Precautions and  
tips).  
• Repeated opening of the vacuumed containers may  
disturb the storage conditions of the food inside.  
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than  
raw foods.  
• Before using the system, make sure there is no visible  
damage on any part of the container.  
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will  
increase the level of humidity in the refrigerator and  
cause condensation to form.  
• The container valve has a built-in security system. If,  
after you have created a vacuum, the valve moves  
upward within three days, check the lid has been put  
on the container properly and/or that the container is  
intact. Check the storage status of the food before  
repeating the vacuum storage operation. See  
Activating and deactivating Ever Fresh.  
• The containers were designed to come into direct  
contact with food.

Using the freezer to its full potential  
GB  
• Adjust the temperature using the display.  
• To freeze foods in safely and correctly, follow the  
instructions below: place the food in the FREEZER  
and STORAGE compartment, making sure that it  
does not come into contact with any food that has  
already been frozen; press the rapid-freezing  
SUPER FREEZE button (the corresponding LED  
lights up) and close the door. The function  
deactivates automatically after 24 hours or when  
the inside of the compartment has reached the  
optimal temperature (the LED switches off).  
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has  
already been defrosted. These foods must be  
cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).  
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come  
into contact with food that has already been  
defrosted.  
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids,  
and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the  
freezer because they could break.  
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily  
is indicated on the plate containing the technical  
properties located on the bottom left side of the  
refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).  
! Do not open the door during freezing.  
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the  
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature  
inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for  
at least 9 -14 hours.  
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer,  
it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with  
food or containers.  
10  
 
Maintenance and care  
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours  
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odour  
free materials. Food should be wrapped well and  
containers closed properly in order to maintain this  
hygiene. This will also prevent the formation of stains.  
• If you wish to switch the appliance off for an extended  
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors  
open.  
Replacing the light bulb  
To replace the light bulb in the  
refrigerator compartment,  
disconnect the plug from the  
electricity mains.  
Access the light bulb as shown  
(see diagram) and replace it with  
a similar light bulb, the power of  
which should not exceed 10 W.  
Changing the odour filter  
The filter should be replaced approximately 6-8 months  
after it has been activated. This period may vary  
depending on the type of food stored inside the  
refrigerator. For information on where a replacement filter  
may be purchased, contact Assistance (see  
Assistance). To replace the filter, follow the instructions  
(see diagrams A and B).

of their old appliance.  
Respecting and conserving the  
environment  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
appliance exposed to rain and storms.  
• Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room.  
Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do  
not place it near sources of heat.  
• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or with wet  
or damp hands and feet.  
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could  
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.  
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods.  
A significant amount of energy is used every time the  
door is opened.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug  
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  
• Do not over-fill the appliance: cold air must circulate  
freely for food to be preserved properly. If air  
circulation is impeded, the compressor will work

you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs  
carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury  
or further malfunctioning of the appliance.  
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to  
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air  
from escaping (see Maintenance).  
• Do not use utensils other than the scraper provided,  
or electrical equipment which is not of the type  
specified by the manufacturer, inside the frozen food  
storage compartments.  
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer  
into your mouth.  
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or  
play with the appliance. Under no circumstances  
should they be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang  
from the door.  
• Keep packaging material out of reach of children.
