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

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

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.
9
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.

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
continuously.
Always switch the appliance off and disconnect it
from the electrical supply before cleaning it or
carrying out maintenance work. It is NOT sufficient to
hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two
seconds to eliminate all electrical contact.
Do not place hot food in the refrigerator. The internal
temperature will increase, forcing the compressor to
work harder and consume more energy.
In case of malfunction, under no circumstances should
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.
