N Notice-Facile - 07/06/2026

Your freezer is consistently running about 8°C above the set temperature, which points to reduced cooling capacity rather than a calibration issue.

A few things to check first:

  • Ventilation: Make sure there is at least 50 mm of clearance behind and on both sides of the unit. If the condenser cannot release heat properly, the compressor cannot reach its target.
  • Condenser coils: The coils at the back can accumulate dust over time. Unplug the freezer and vacuum them gently. This alone can restore several degrees of performance.
  • Door seal: Inspect the rubber gasket all around the door. If it is cracked or does not grip firmly, warm air leaks in continuously.
  • Room temperature: If the room is very warm (above 32°C), performance can drop significantly.

If none of these points apply and the gap persists, the refrigerant level may be low due to a small leak. That requires a qualified technician — Indesit customer service can arrange a visit.

This function turns the freezer compartments On/Stand-by. To put the product in Stand-by, press and hold the On/Stand-by button ⏻ for 3 seconds. When the appliance is in Stand-by, the light inside the freezer compartment does not work. Remember that this operation does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. To switch the appliance On again, simply press the On/Stand-By button ⏻.

2.3. BLACK OUT ALARM

After a power blackout, your product is designed to automatically monitor the temperature in the freezer when electricity is resupplied. If the temperature in the freezer rises above freezing level, the Black Out indicator ☑ turns on, the Alarm indicator ⚠ blinks, and the acoustical alarm sounds when electricity is resupplied.

To reset the alarm, press the Stop Alarm button ⚠ just once.

In case of Black Out Alarm, the following actions are recommended:

  • If the food in the freezer is unfrozen but still cold, all the food in the freezer should be eaten within the next 24 hours.
  • If the food in the freezer is frozen, this indicates the food was thawed and then refrozen when electricity was re-supplied which degrades taste, quality and nutritional value and also could be unsafe. It is recommended to not consume the food but to dispose of the entire content of the freezer. The Black Out Alarm is designed to provide guidance on food quality in the freezer in the event of electricity black out. This system does not guarantee food quality or safety and consumers are advised to use their own judgment in evaluating food quality in freezer compartment.

2.4. TEMPERATURE ALARM

The acoustic alarm sounds and temperature indicator (°C) blinks. The alarm is activated when:

  • The appliance is connected to the power supply after prolonged disuse
  • The freezer compartment temperature is too high
  • The quantity of fresh foods loaded into the freezer exceeds that indicated on the rating plate
  • The freezer door has been left open for a long time. To mute the alarm buzzer press Stop Alarm button ⚠ just once. The Alarm indicator ⚠ is automatically turned-off as soon as the freezer compartment reaches a temperature below -10°C and the temperature set indicator (°C) stop blinking and shows the chosen setting.

2.5. DOOR OPEN ALARM

The Alarm icon ⚠ lights up blinking and the acoustic alarm sounds. The alarm is activated when the door is left open for more than 2 minutes. To disengage the door alarm close the door, or press once Stop Alarm button ⚠ to mute the acoustic alarm.

2.6. PARTY MODE*

INDESIT UI8 F2C W - PARTY MODE* - 1

Use this function to chill drinks inside the freezer compartment. 30 minutes after selection (the time required to chill a 0.75 l bottle without the glass breaking), the symbol flashes, an acoustic alarm sounds: remove the bottle from the freezer compartment and press the Stop Alarm button to disable the alarm.

Important: do not leave the bottle inside the freezer compartment longer than the time necessary for chilling.

2.7. SHOCK FREEZE*

INDESIT UI8 F2C W - SHOCK FREEZE* - 1

The “Shock Freeze” compartment is specifically designed to freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food extremely quickly. The ultra-fast “Shock Freeze” function minimizes the formation of ice crystals inside the food as it freezes, thus ensuring it is of the best possible quality when defrosted prior to consumption. When the “Shock Freeze” function is not active, the compartment can be used as normal for traditional freezing or for the storage of already frozen foods.

Note: When the Shock Freeze function is active you may hear a humming sound. This is absolutely normal and is caused by airflow that permits optimum cold distribution inside compartment.

Activating and deactivating the "Shock Freeze" function:

  1. Make sure at least 12 hours have passed since the last time the "Shock Freeze" function was activated (if at all). Do not activate the function more frequently than once every 12 hours.
  2. Make sure that the "Fast Freeze" function is not active: "Shock Freeze" and "Fast Freeze" functions cannot be active together at the same time.
  3. Empty the "Shock Freeze" compartment.
  4. Activate the "Shock Freeze" function by briefly touching the button ✦ on the control panel: the icon lights up and the fans on the bottom of the compartment come on, increasing the flow of cold air and accelerating the freezing process as a result.
  5. Place the food to be frozen inside the compartment, a few centimeters (min. 2 cm) away from the fans on the back of the compartment, so that cold air can circulate.
  6. To achieve maximum freezing speed, we recommend not to deactivate the "Shock Freeze" function until its automatic deactivation, keeping closed the door.
  7. The "Shock Freeze" function is automatically deactivated 4-5 hours after its activation: the indicator ♦ switches off and the fans are deactivated. The "Shock Freeze" function may nevertheless be switched off at any time as desired, by briefly pressing the button ♦ on the control panel: the indicator ♦ switches off and the fans are deactivated.

Attention:

  • Incompatibility with the “Fast Freeze” function To guarantee optimal performance, the “Shock Freeze” and “Fast Freeze” functions cannot be used at the same time. Therefore, if the “Fast Freeze” function has been already engaged, it has to be disengaged first to activate the “Shock Freeze” function (and vice-versa).
  • If the fans in the Shock Freeze compartment do not start working

After the “Shock Freeze” function has been activated, it may happen that the indicator lights up as expected, but the fans do not start working. This is normal and means that freezer defrosting is in progress. At the end of the defrosting phase (maximum duration: 1.5 hours), the fans will automatically start working and the “Shock Freeze” process will begin as normal.

- If the indicator does not light up

If, after the button is pressed, the icon lights up: in this case the button has been pressed for too long. To activate the "Shock Freeze" function, first deactivate the Fast Freeze function (holding the button for 3 seconds, then briefly touch the button, without keeping it pressed for more than 1 second.

2.8. FAST FREEZE*

INDESIT UI8 F2C W - FAST FREEZE* - 1

The amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance rating plate.

This function can be used for optimum appliance performance, 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer. Please follow the instructions contained in the Quick Start Guide to activate/deactivate the function. After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on Fast Freeze function is generally sufficient; After 50 hours the Fast Freeze function automatically deactivates.

Attention:

In order to save energy, when freezing small amounts of food, the fast freeze function can be deactivated after a few hours.

- Incompatibility with the "Shock Freeze" function

To guarantee optimal performance, the “Shock Freeze” and “Fast Freeze” functions cannot be used at the same time. Therefore, if the “Fast Freeze” function has been already engaged, it has to be disengaged first to activate the “Shock Freeze” function (and vice-versa).

2.9. ECO NIGHT FUNCTION (NIGHT TIME RATE) *

The Eco Night function enables appliance energy consumption to be concentrated in the reduced rate hours (generally at night), when electricity is readily available and costs less than during the daytime (only in countries that utilise a time based multi-rate system - check energy rates with the local electricity company). To activate the function, press the button ☑: at the reduced rate start time (depending on the specific rates plan). For example, if the reduced rate starts at 8 p.m., press the button ☑: at that time. When the Eco Night indicator ☑: ON, the function is ON. Once the function is activated, the appliance automatically adapts energy consumption according to the time selected, i.e. consuming less energy during the day than at night.

IMPORTANT: To operate properly, the function must be on during the night and day. The function remains on until deactivated (or it is deactivated in case of a power failure or appliance switch-off). To deactivate the function, press the button ☑: again. When the Eco Night indicator ☑ is OFF, the function is OFF.

Note: The declared appliance energy consumption refers to operation with the Eco Night function deactivated.

2.10. FREEZE CONTROL*

Freeze Control is an advanced technology that reduces temperature fluctuations in the whole freezer compartment to a minimum, thanks to an innovative air system, totally independent from the fridge. Freeze burns are significantly reduced and food preserves its original quality and color.

To activate the Freeze Control, choose the function from the menu, set it to >ON<, and press the OK button to confirm the selection. To deactivate this function, repeat the same procedure setting it to >OFF<.

The function works properly in a defined range of temperature: between -22°C and -24°C.

When the function is engaged and the current temperature in the freezer is set to a warmer set point than -22°C, the temperature is automatically set to -22°C to match the working range.

If the function is engaged and the user modifies the freezer temperature out of the working range, the function is automatically switched off.

In case Fast Freezing is engaged, the function "Freeze Control" is inhibited until the Fast Freezing function is switched off.

2.11. AUTOMATIC NO FROST

This product is designed to defrost automatically according to conditions of use and ambient humidity.

No Frost freezers provide chilled air circulation around the storage areas and prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely eliminating the need for defrosting. Frozen items don't stick to the walls, labeling stays legible, and storage space remains neat and clear.

2.12. ICE MATE*

HOW TO MAKE ICE CUBES

You can remove the ice cube tray by pulling it towards you.

We recommend labeling and dating all your frozen food. Adding a label will help you identify foods and know when they should be used before their quality deteriorates. Do not re-freeze defrosted food.

4.2. TIPS FOR FREEZING AND STORING FRESH FOOD

  • Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food.
  • Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food.
  • Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavor.

Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen.

Note:

  • Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.
  • Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
  • Do not freeze bottles with liquid.

4.3. USING ICE PACKS*

Ice packs help in keeping frozen the foodstuffs in case of power failure. For the best usage of them, place them above food stored in the top of compartment.

4.4. FROZEN FOOD: SHOPPING TIPS

When purchasing frozen food products:

  • Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.
  • When shopping, buy frozen foods at the end of your trip and transport them in a thermally insulated cool bag.
  • Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer.
  • If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
  • Avoid or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package.
  • Always observe the storage information on the package.

5. FUNCTIONAL SOUNDS

Sounds coming from your appliances are normal since it has a number of fans and engines to regulate performances that switch on and off automatically.

Some of the functional sounds can be reduced through

  • Leveling the appliance and installing it on an even surface
  • Separating and avoiding contact between the appliance and furniture.
  • Checking if the internal components are correctly placed.
  • Checking if bottles and containers are not in contact with each other.

Some of the functional sounds you might hear:

A hissing sound when switching on the appliance for the first time or after a long pause.

Hissss

Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start working.

6. RECOMMENDATION IN CASE OF NON-USE OF THE APPLIANCE

6.1. ABSENCE / VACATION

In case of a longer absence, it is recommended to use up the food and disconnect the appliance to save energy.

6.2. MOVING

  1. Take out all internal parts.
  2. Wrap them well and fix them together with adhesive tape so they do not bang together or get lost.
  3. Screw the adjustable feet so they do not touch the support surface.
  4. Close and fix the door with adhesive tape, and again using adhesive tape, fix the power cable to the appliance.

6.3. POWER FAILURE

In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your electricity supply company and ask how long it is going to last.

Note: Bear in mind that a full appliance will stay cold longer than a partially filled one.

If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be frozen again, although flavor and aroma may be affected.

If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best to throw it away.

For power failures lasting up to 24 hours.

  1. Keep the door of the appliance closed. This will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible.

For power failures lasting more than 24 hours.

  1. Empty the freezer compartment and arrange the food in a portable freezer. If this type of freezer is not available and, likewise, no artificial ice packs are available, try to use up the food, which is more easily perishable.
  2. Empty the ice tray.

7. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.

Periodically clean the appliance with a cloth and a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent specifically for refrigerator interiors. Never use abrasives. Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Clean the outside of the appliance and the door seal with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use steam cleaners.

Condenser placed in the rear of the appliance should be cleaned regularly using a vacuum cleaner.

Important:

  • The buttons and control panel display must not be cleaned with alcohol or alcohol-derived substances, but with a dry cloth.
  • The refrigeration system pipes are located near the defrost pan and can become hot. Periodically clean them with a vacuum cleaner.
  • To remove or insert the glass shelf, move up the front part of the shelf to pass the stopper.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

8.1. BEFORE CONTACTING AFTER-SALES SERVICE...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The appliance is not working: • Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage?Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the electrical system in your home?
If there is water in the defrost pan:• This is normal in hot, damp weather. The pan can even be half full. Make sure the appliance is level so that the water does not overflow.
If the edges of the appliance cabinet, which come in contact with the door seal, are warm to the touch:• This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is running.
If the light does not work: • Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the electrical system in your home?Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage?In case the LEDs are broken the user must call the Service for exchange of the same type available only at our After-sales Service Centers or authorized dealers.
If the motor seems to run too much:• Motor running time depends on different things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the temperature controls.Is the condenser (back the appliance) free of dust and fluff?Are the door properly closed?Are the door seals properly fitted?On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs longer.If the appliance door has been left open for a while or if large amounts of food have been stored, the motor will run longer in order to cool down the interior of the appliance.
