Maintenance And Care - Indesit BAN 40 FNF xx Operating Instructions Manual

3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate
GB
freely between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use
oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable
items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored in
the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just above
the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated.
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.

covered or sealed properly.

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.

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
