Start-Up And Use; Starting The Appliance; Using The Refrigerator To Its Full Potential - Indesit CAA 55 Operating Instructions Manual

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 the

Eggs On the shelf provided
Butter and margarine On the shelf provided
Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelf 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
1
shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable ( see
diagram ), allowing easy storage
2
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.
