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

• 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.

Indicator light: to identify the
TEMPERATURE
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.
