Indesit R36NFG, Manual

6

- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-
sult 
a specialized manual. 

- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-
frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 
hours) or to freeze it once again. 
- Fresh foods that you intend to freeze must not be placed 
in contact with those that are already frozen or those that 
have been fast-frozen. Rather, they must be placed on atop 
the grate in the freezer compartment, in contact with the 
walls of the compartment (back or side) if possible. Please 
keep in mind that proper conservation of frozen foods de-
pends on the speed 
with which they are frozen. 
- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of 
the freezer. 
- The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is 
indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the veg-
etable crisper. 
- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec-
ommended that you divide food into small portions so that 
they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be 
clearly marked with the content and the date they were 
frozen. 
- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power 
failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in 
 
 

temperature within the compartment. If the door is not 
opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their 
current state for approximately 

1

7 hours. 

- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily 
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they 
freeze. 
 -If the ambient temperature remains below 

1

4°C for an 

extended period of time, the temperature needed for ex-
tended 
storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, 
resulting in reduced storage life of the food. 
-Fill the ice container so that they are no more indication of 
line. 
 
 

- Install the Appliance Properly 

In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sun-
light, in a well ventilated room complying with the mini-
mum distances indicated in the paragraph entitled, “ Instal-
lation/ Ventilation.” 

- Use the Right Temperature Setting 

A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption. 

- Do not Overfill 

To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate 
freely within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will 
prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to 
work continuously.

- Close the Doors 

Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time 
you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem-
perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a 
long time, consuming energy.

- Keep an Eye on the Seals 

Keep the seals clean  and make sure that they adhere well to 
the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes

- No Hot Foods 

A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately 
raises the temperature by several degrees. Let hot cookware 
and food cool to ambient temperature before placing them in 
the refrigerator.
