    Installation
    ! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read 
    these operating instructions carefully. They contain important 
    information for safe use, for installation and for care of the 
    appliance.
    ! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. 
    Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
    Positioning and connection
    Positioning
    1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
    2.  Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and 
    condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to 
    operate correctly and save energy.
    3.  Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of 
    the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm 
    between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
    4.  Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat 
    (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
    5.  In order to maintain the correct distance between the 
    appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in 
    the installation kit, following the instructions provided.
    Levelling
    1.  Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
    2.  If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator 
    by tightening or loosening the front feet.
    Electrical connections
    After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it 
    vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the 
    electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical 
    socket ensure the following:
    •   The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the 
    law.
    •   The socket can withstand the maximum power of the 
    appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on 
    the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
    •   The voltage must be in the range between the values 
    indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side 
    (e.g. 220-240V).
    •   The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If 
    the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised 
    technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use 
    extension cords or multiple sockets.
    ! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply 
    cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
    ! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
    ! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by 
    authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
    ! The manufacturer declines any liability should these 
    safety measures not be observed.
    Your appliance is supplied with a 13amp fused plug that can 
    be plugged into a 13amp socket for immediate use.  Before 
    using the appliance please read the instructions below.
    WARNING: 
    THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
    Replacing fuse covers:
    When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13amp ASTA approved fuse to 
    BS 1362 should always be used and the fuse cover re-fitted.
    If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a 
    replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers:
    If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct 
    colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that 
    is embossed in words on the base of the plug.
    Changing the plug:
    Removing the plug
    If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you 
    should wish to remove it to add a longer cable or to re-route the 
    mains cable through partitions, units etc. please ensure that 
    either:
    - 
    The plug is replaced by a fused 13amp re-wireable plug 
    bearing the BSI mark of approval.
    or
    -  The mains cable is wired directly into a 13amp cable outlet, 
    controlled by a switch (in compliance with BS 5733) which is 
    accessible without moving the appliance.
    Disposing of the plug
    Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit your 
    socket. The cable should be cut as close as possible to the 
    moulded plug.
    Remove the fuse.
    WARNING: 
    To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the discarded plug 
    into a socket anywhere else.
    Fitting a new plug
    IMPORTANT:  
    WIRES IN THE MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN 
    ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE...
    Green and Yellow  - Earth
    Blue    - Neutral
    Brown    - Live
    As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not 
    correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals 
    in your plug, proceed as follows:
    - Connect  Green and Yellow wire to terminal marked ‘E’ or 
     or coloured Green and Yellow.
    - Connect  Brown wire to terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured red 
    or brown.
    - Connect  Blue wire to terminal marked ‘N’  or coloured Black 
    or Blue.
    If a 13amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13amp 
    fuse.  
    If you are in any doubt about the electrical supply to your 
    machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

    Accessories
    SHELVES* : with or without grill. 
    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.
    Start-up and use
    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.
    1.  Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal 
    light illuminates.
    2.  Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an average 
    value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the 
    refrigerator.
    Setting the temperature
    The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment 
    automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the 
    thermostat knob.
     = warmest *   1= warmest *
     = coldest *  5= coldest *
    We recommend, however, a medium position.
    The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the 
    back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space 
    and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will 
    be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether 
    the compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the 
    refrigerator is functioning normally.
    Chiller system
    The appliance comes with one of the chiller systems described 
    below: take note of your system in order to determine the most 
    efficient food storage method.
    PURE WIND *
    It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the 
    top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram). 
    Pure Wind  maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of 
    the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature 
    inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has 
    been opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into 
    contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked 
    up (see diagram).
    Static
    Models without the Aircooler have the cooling section in 
    the internal back wall of the compartments. The wall will be 
    covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the  compressor is operating or paused: both cases are normal. If 
    the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high 
    values with large quantities of food and with a high ambient 
    temperature, the appliance can operate continuously, resulting 
    in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption: 
    compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values 
    (defrosting will occur automatically). 
    In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the 
    colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food 
    should be stored as follows:
    Using the refrigerator to its full potential
    •  
    Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the 
    temperature (see Description).
    •   Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not 
    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 
    humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
    TEMPERATURE
    * Indicator light: to identify the coldest area in 
    the refrigerator.
    1.  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 (colder) position and wait 
    approximately 10 hours until the temperature has stabilised.
    3.  Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it 
    following the initial process. If large quantities of food have 
    been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened 
    frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. 
    Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR 
    OPERATION knob to a higher setting.
    Food hygiene 
    1.  Once you have bought your food, remove all external 
    packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, 
    which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your 
    refrigerator.
    2.  Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and 
    those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact 
    between them, thereby removing both the possibility of 
    germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of 
    strong odours inside the fridge.
    3.  Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate 
    freely between different items.
    * Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain 
    models.

    PLEASE PHONE US TO REGISTER YOUR APPLIANCE AND ACTIVATE YOUR 5 YEAR PART\
    S GUARANTEE ON 08448 24 24 244. 
    Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use 
    oxidiser or abrasive products.
    5.  Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator.
    6.  For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable 
    items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored in 
    the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just above 
    the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated.
    Using the freezer to its full potential
    •   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. Fresh 
    food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE 
    compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and 
    guarantees rapid freezing.
    •   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)
    •   In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer 
    compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest 
    bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an 
    adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the 
    evaporator plates.
    ! 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.
    ! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended 
    period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the 
    freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced.
    Ice
    3 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).
    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, placing the top part in the corresponding housing and 
    allowing it to drop in again.
    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.

    Maintenance and care
    Switching the appliance off
    During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect 
    the appliance from the electricity supply.
    It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on 
     
    (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
    Cleaning the appliance
    •  We  recommend  you clean your fridge with our Professional 
    Fridge cleaner.To order please call us on 08448 225 225 or 
    visit www.indesitservice.co.uk
    •   The external and internal parts, as well as 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 water 
    and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them 
    carefully.
    •   The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be 
    removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner 
    set on medium power. The appliance must be switched 
    off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the 
    appliance.
    Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
    •   The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which 
    are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator 
    and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be 
    covered or sealed properly.
    •   If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended 
    period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
    Defrosting the appliance
    ! Follow the instructions below. 
    Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any devices 
    or tools other than the scraper provided, you may damage the 
    refrigeration circuit.
    Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
    The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is 
    ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge 
    outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the 
    compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the 
    discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily.

    Defrosting the freezer compartment
    If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost 
    manually:
    1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position 
    .
    2.  Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another 
    freezer or in a cool place.
    3.  Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. 
    This can be made easier by placing containers with 
    lukewarm water in the freezer compartment.
    4.  Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before 
    switching the appliance on again.
    5.  Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead 
    the water outside: let the water flow into a container (see 
    diagram).
    6.  Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal storage 
    conditions have been restored, before placing food in the 
    freezer compartment.

    the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
    •  Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the 
    appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It is 
    not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on 
     
    (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
    •  In the case of a 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.

    Disposal
    • Observe local environmental standards when disposing 
    packaging material for recycling purposes.
    •  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
    •  Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. 
    Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not 
    place it near heat sources.
    •  Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or 
    opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.
    •   Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air 
    must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. 
    If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work 
    continuously.
    •  Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The 
    internal temperature will increase and force the compressor 
    to work harder and will consume more energy.
    •  Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance). A thick 
    layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more 
    difficult and results in increased energy consumption.
    •  Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure 
    they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping 
    (see Maintenance).
    Troubleshooting
    If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance 
    (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.
    The internal light does not illuminate.
    • The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or 
    not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the 
    house.
    The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool well.
    •  The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
    •  The doors are opened too frequently.
    •  The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct 
    position.
    •  The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
    •  The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the 
    appliance is lower than 14°C.
    The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.
    •  The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct 
    position.
    •  The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the 
    refrigerator.
    The AIR fan does not rotate
    •  The refrigerator door is open.
    •  The AIR system is only activated automatically when it 
    becomes necessary to restore perfect operational conditions 
    inside the refrigerator compartment.
    The motor runs continuously.
    •  The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
    •  The outside ambient temperature is very high.
    •   The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm (see 
    Maintenance).
    The appliance makes a lot of noise.
    • The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see 
    Installation). • The appliance has been installed between cabinets that 
    vibrate and make noise.
    • The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the 
    compressor is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.
    Some of the external parts of the refrigerator become hot.
    • 
    These raised temperatures are necessary in order to 
    avoid the formation of condensation on certain parts of the 
    product.
    The back wall of the refrigerator unit is covered in frost or 
    droplets of water
    • This shows the appliance is operating normally.
    There is water at the bottom of the refrigerator.
    • The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).
