Starting the appliance ! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions ( see Installation

! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda. ! The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which means that the compressor starts up approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply is cut off, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (power cut/ blackout). Insert the plug into the electrical socket and, if OFF appears on both indicator displays (refrigerator and freezer), switch the appliance on by holding the ON/ OFF button down for at least two seconds: - the refrigerator will be set at a temperature of +5°C - the freezer will be set at a temperature of -18°C. To cool the two compartments more rapidly, activate the SUPER COOL and SUPER FREEZE functions ( see Display

Chiller system The appliance is fitted with the following chiller system: No Frost This system can be recognised by the aeration cells located on the back walls of each compartment. 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. 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. Food hygiene

• After buying food, throw away any external paper or cardboard packaging that could introduce dirt or bacteria into the refrigerator.

• Protect foods (especially easily perishable substances and food that gives off a strong odour) by ensuring they do not come into contact with each other. Not only does this stop germs and bacteria from spreading, but it also prevents certain odours from lingering in the refrigerator.

• Position foods so that air may circulate freely between them.

• Keep the inside of the refrigerator clean but do not use oxidising or abrasive agents.

• Throw away any food that has exceeded its use-by date.

• To ensure they keep well, foods that spoil easily (cheese, raw fish, meat etc...) should be placed in the coldest part of the refrigerator, above the vegetable compartment. Start-up and use23

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Adjust the temperature using the display.

• When you wish to freeze a lot of food at once, activate the SUPER FREEZE function. The function is automatically disabled after 24 hours or once the optimal temperature has been reached.

• Do not refreeze food that has been defrosted or that is defrosting; this food must be eaten within 24 hours or may be frozen again after it has been cooked.

• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be packed in the top FREEZER compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.

• Do not place glass bottles containing liquids or bottles that are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer as they may break.

• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen each day 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 the freezing process. ! Do not open the freezer door if there is a power cut or malfunction. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. 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. General cooked dish 2 days 10 days Ready-made rice or pasta dish 2 days 10 days Fresh fish 2-3 days 4-5 days Fresh raw meat 3 days 9 days Hard cheese 15 days 60 days Raw vegetables 5 days 21 days Fresh fruit 10 days 21 days Dry biscuits 180 days 365 days Pastries with cream/custard 2 days 10 days Other desserts/pastries 5 days 20 days

• 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.

normal conditions With EVER FRESH* ! 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. 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)

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.24

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

• 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.

• 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.

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

. The absence of air inside the container is indicated by the valve at the bottom (see figure D).

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 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. ! 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 RESET ALARM button must be pressed twice to restore normal operation.25

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
