The analysis uses 3012 days of detector livetime in the period 2007-2017, and selects 1016 neutrinos interacting in (or close to) the instrumented volume of the detector, yielding shower-like events (mainly from nu(e) + (nu) over bar (e) charged current plus all neutrino neutral current interactions) and starting track events (mainly from nu(mu) + (nu) over bar (mu) charged current interactions). The contamination by atmospheric muons in the final sample is suppressed at the level of a few per mill by different steps in the selection analysis, including a Boosted Decision Tree classifier. The distribution of reconstructed events is unfolded in terms of electron and muon neutrino fluxes. The derived energy spectra are compared with previous measurements that, above 100 GeV, are limited to experiments in polar ice and, for nu(mu), to Super-Kamiokande.Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)French Atomic Energy CommissionCommission Europeenne (FEDER fund)Institut Universitaire de France (IUF)Labex UnivEarthS ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-18-IDEX-0001Region Ile-de-FranceRegion Grand-EstRegion Provence-Alpes-Cote d'AzurRegion Provence-Alpes-Cote d'AzurFederal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF)Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare(INFN), ItalyNetherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO)Netherlands GovernmentCouncil of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, RussiaConsiliul National al Cercetarii Stiintifice (CNCS)Unitatea Executiva pentru Finantarea Invatamantului Superior, a Cercetarii, Dezvoltarii si Inovarii (UEFISCDI)Spanish Government PGC2018096663-B-C41 PGC2018096663-A-C42 PGC2018096663-B-C43 PGC2018096663-B-C44Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence and MultiDark ConsoliderJunta de Andalucia SOMM17/6104/UGR A-FQM-053-UGR18Generalitat Valenciana: Grisolia program, Spain GRISOLIA/2018/119Generalitat Valenciana: GenT program, Spain CIDEGENT/2018/034Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Professional Training, MoroccoAgencia Estatal de Investigacion PGC2018096663-B-C41 PGC2018096663-A-C42 PGC2018096663-B-C43 PGC2018096663-B-C44Commission Europeenne (Marie Curie Program
