Recycling and Disposal Information As part of Indesit’s continued commitment to helping the environment, Indesit reserves the right to use quality, recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage. To minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug, and cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance. [. . . ] 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). Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal light illuminates ( the FREEZER OPERATION knob must not be on the position ) . Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob and REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator. Using the refrigerator to its full potential • Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never hot foods (see Precautions and tips). • Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf. Setting the temperature The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. min = warmest max = coldest We recommend, however, a medium position. TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the refrigerator. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram). 2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been stabilised. 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. Ice3 ice 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). Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram). Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding housing and allowing it to drop in again. 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. Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: 1. pull the plug out of the socket GB Cleaning the appliance • We recommend you clean your fridge with our Professional Fridge cleaner.

[. . . ] • The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is off. • These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the formation of condensation on certain parts of the product.
