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.
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.

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).
