Freezer compartment

ICE PARTY: ensures bottles of sparkling wine or champagne reach the right temperature. Place the bottle in the bucket provided inside the FREEZER and STORAGE compartment. The bucket may be used to serve the bottle and keeps it cool outside the appliance.

ICE CARE tray

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.

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

! 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. 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).

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.

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.

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). When the I Care function is active, 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. 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. 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.

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.

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.

Chiller system

No Frost

The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains 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. Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.

Ever Fresh

The absence of air inside the containers ensures that food is preserved for longer periods of time while maintaining its original appearance, taste and nutritional characteristics.

* The above table is indicative and refers to food storage in the refrigerator at temperatures ranging between 3°C and 5°C. The length of time food lasts for will, however, depend on the initial freshness of the products, preparation and storage methods, and correct use of the Ever Fresh function. ! The foods tendency to spoil and use-by date must always be borne in mind when using the Ever Fresh food storage system. This method of storing food does not change any of the characteristics of the food. ! Use only the containers that come with the product to store food in the Ever Fresh system. Do not use any other type of container.

With EVER FRESH*

Ever Fresh system

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. ! There is a pump in the centre of the Ever Fresh shelf which sucks the air out of the containers.

Activating and deactivating Ever Fresh

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.

3. Close the handles on either side of the container and turn the knob on the lid of the container all the way to the CLOSE position. Then turn the

knob anticlockwise to the VACUUM position

(see figure A).

4. Press the button on the shelf and place the container in the

central position (see figure B).

5. Lock the container into

position by pulling the button on the shelf (see figure C).

6. Activate the Ever Fresh function by pressing the relevant button on the external display (the Ever Fresh icon will light up). A slight noise can be heard while the Ever Fresh system is in operation.

7. Wait for the signal that the operation has finished (the Ever Fresh icon will switch off).

8. Unlock the container from its position by pressing the button on the shelf.

9. Take it out of the refrigerator

and turn the knob clockwise to the CLOSE position to avoid accidental opening (see figure A). The absence of air inside the container is indicated by the valve at the bottom (see

figure D).

! 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.

10. To open the container, turn the knob anticlockwise to the OPEN position (see figure A): this will allow air to enter the container and make it easy to open. The valve will move upwards as air enters the container (see figure E).

 The containers were designed to come into direct

contact with food.

 Do not use the containers for any type of cooking (in

the microwave or oven, on an electric plate, over a flame, etc.).

 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.

! 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.

! 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.

Using Ever Fresh to its full potential

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.

 Repeated opening of the vacuumed containers may

disturb the storage conditions of the food inside.

 Before using the system, make sure there is no

visible damage on any part of the container.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the

compartment, never hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

 Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than

raw foods.

 Do not store liquids in open containers: they will

increase the level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to store food in a less humid environment, or close it (position A) to store food in a more humid environment.

Using the freezer to its full potential

 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 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.

 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).

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:

1. Hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds until OFF appears on both indicator displays (refrigerator and freezer).

2. Pull the plug out of the socket.

! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation, hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds. To disconnect the appliance, follow points 1 and 2 above.

Cleaning the appliance

 The external and internal parts and the rubber seals

may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.

 The removable accessories may be soaked in warm

soapy water or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.

 The back of the appliance may collect dust. This can

be removed by carefully using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug disconnected from the electricity mains before it is cleaned.

Ever Fresh

 Use a clean dry cloth to clean the opening of the

vacuum system in the centre of the Ever Fresh shelf. Do not use water or solvents.

 The opening in the centre of the Ever Fresh shelf should

not come into contact with water or any other liquids.

 Wash and dry the containers before using them.  Do not clean the lids in a dishwasher.  Before closing the containers make sure that the

edges are clean. Traces of dirt may affect the sealing process and consequently the length of time food may be stored.

 If the knob on the cover needs to be cleaned, turn it

anticlockwise until it comes off and wash it using water and neutral detergent. After drying it thoroughly, screw it back on.

 If you wish to take the Ever Fresh shelf out and clean it,

you must first disconnect the tube at the back of the shelf. Make sure it is reattached properly in order to avoid blockages and system malfunctions. The Ever Fresh shelf should not come into contact with water or other liquids as these may damage the system.

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, pull out the plug from the electrical

socket. Follow the instructions below. Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the diagram. Replace it with a similar

light bulb within the power range indicated on the cover (10 W, 15 W or 25 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).

Precautions and tips

! The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

This appliance complies with the following European Community Directives:

- 73/23/EEC dated 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments;

-89/336/EEC dated 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;

- 2002/96/CE.

General safety

 The appliance was designed for domestic use

inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

 The appliance must be used by adults only to store

and freeze food products according to the instructions in this manual.

 The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even

in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.

Disposal

 Observe local environmental standards when

disposing of packaging material as some of this material may be recycled.

 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Respecting and conserving the environment

 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.

 When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug

from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

 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.

 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.

 Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or

electrical equipment - other than the type recommended by the manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage compartments.

 Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer

into your mouth.

 Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room.
