Start-Up And Use; Starting The Appliance; Using The Refrigerator To Its Full Potential - Indesit CA 55 Serie Gebrauchsanleitung

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.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the
thermostat knob.
1 = warmest 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.
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:
Arrangement inside
Food
the refrigerator
Fresh fish and meat Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Fresh cheese Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Cooked food On any shelf
Salami, loaves of bread,
On any shelf
chocolate
In the fruit and vegetable
Fruit and vegetables
compartment bins
Eggs On the shelf provided
Butter and margarine On the shelf provided
Bottle, drinks, milk On the shelves provided
• 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.
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.
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 position (colder) and wait
approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been
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.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to
use oxidiser or abrasive products.
