Use Of The Freezer Compartment - Indesit IB7030A1D Instructions For Use Manual

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND OPERATION
Please check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate situated inside the compartment
corresponds to the voltage in your home. The earthing of this appliace is compulsory by
law. The manufacturer will accept no liability for injury to persons or damage to objects
arising from the non observance of this requirement.
When the appliance is plugged in, if the thermostat knob is not set to symbol •, the green and
the red lamps (A) and (B) (Fig. 1) light up. The green control light always remains alight and
indicates the operation of the appliance. The red control light remains alight until the set operation
temperature has been attained. It lights up again when the temperature inside the freezer rises
due to frequent or prolonged door opening, and when the appliance has been loaded with fresh
food to be frozen.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE TEMPERATURE
The thermostat (Fig. 1) controls the temperature inside the appliance. Position • indicates that
the operation of appliance is interrupted. The ideal storage temperature of frozen food for a
long time is -18°C. In normal ambient conditions (temperature between +20°C and +25°C),
we suggest you adjust the thermostat control knob to a middle position. To obtain colder or
warmer temperatures than -18°C, turn the thermostat control knob to the highest or lowest
setting respectively. We remind you that internal temperatures are affected by the location of the
appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, the frequency of the door opening. The setting
of the thermostat may have to be varied to allow for these factors. To check the temperature of
the food stored, place the thermometer (if delivered) under the food; if it is placed on the food
it will indicate the temperature of the air which does not correspond to that of the food stored.

USE OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

This appliance is equipped with an acoustic alarm which sounds when the door is left open
(if present).
FREEZING IN (Fig. 2)
The amount of fresh food which can be frozen in a 24 hours period at an ambient temperature of
+25° C is stated on the rating plate.
Do not store warm foods in the freezer. Never re-freeze partially or completely defrosted foods.
Prepare and wrap foods to be frozen in aluminium or plastic foils or place them in appropriate
containers. Label the packets indicating the freezing-in date and the contents. The freezer
compartment maintains the storage temperature for 15 hours approx. even in case of power
failure.
