Maintenance And Care - Indesit BAN 40 FNF WD Series Operating Instructions Manual

Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature ( see Description ).
• Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower the
temperature quickly. For example, when you place a large
number of new food items inside a fridge the internal
temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the
groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it
reaches the ideal level.
• 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.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature
( see Description ).
• 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.
• 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).
• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating): press the rapid
freezing SUPER FREEZE button (corresponding yellow indicator
light illuminates), insert the food and close the door. The function
is disabled automatically after 24 hours or when optimal
temperatures have been reached (indicator light goes out);
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes
with food or containers.
! 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.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply:
1. set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
2. pull the plug out of the socket
Cleaning the appliance
• 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.
Holiday function
If you are going on holiday, you do not have to switch the appliance
off; it features a low-energy function which optimises the
temperature of the refrigerator compartment to suit the products
stored inside it (you may, for example, wish to protect cosmetics
and beauty products from the heat). The freezer temperature must
be set to the minimum value in order to preserve the food.
To enable the function: set the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob
on HOLIDAY ( see diagram ).
A double acoustic signal informs you when it has been enabled. A
single acoustic signal informs you when it has been disabled.
Replacing the l Odour filter
The filter should be replaced after approximately 6-8 months from
when it is activated. This period may vary depending on the type of
food that is stored. For information on where a replacement filter may
be purchased, contact Assistance ( see Assistance ).
To replace the filter, follow the instructions ( see diagrams A and B ).
