Frequently Asked Questions - IL A1.UK INDESIT

How do I set the temperature on my Indesit IL A1.UK freezer?

Use the thermostat dial inside the freezer. Turn it to a higher number for colder temperature. Typically, setting 3-4 is suitable for normal use.

Unplug the freezer, remove all food, and leave the door open. Place towels to catch water. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.

Why is the freezer making strange noises?

Normal operating sounds include humming from the compressor, clicking when it cycles on/off, and gurgling from refrigerant flow. If loud, check if it's level.

Unplug the appliance. Clean the interior with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Freezing fresh food

1. It is advisable to set the temperature colder or turn on the Fast Freeze/Fast Cool* at least four hours before removing the food from the freezer compartment, to prolong the preservation of the food during the defrosting phase.
2. To defrost, unplug the appliance and remove the drawers. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. To prevent the water from escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you place an absorbent cloth on the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly.
3. Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully.
4. Turn the appliance back on and put the food back inside. To remove the frost on the STOP FROST* accessory, follow the CLEANING.

Ice cubes*

Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and put it back in the freezer compartment. Do not, under any circumstances, use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice.

The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is indicated on the rating plate.

Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves etc. Make sure that these components can still close easily after loading.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The drawers, baskets and shelves should be kept in their current position unless otherwise specified in this quick guide. The light system inside the refrigerator compartment uses LED lights, allowing for better lighting than with traditional light bulbs, as well as for very low energy consumption.

Doors and lids of the refrigeration appliance should be removed before disposal in the landfill, to avoid children or animals getting trapped inside.
