FAQs

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Thanks to the Low Frost technology, defrosting is less frequent. However, it's recommended to defrost the freezer when ice build-up becomes excessive, typically every 6-12 months, depending on usage.

How do I adjust the shelves?

The shelves are adjustable. Simply lift the shelf and slide it out. You can then reinsert it at a different height to suit your storage needs.

What should I do if the door seal is damaged?

If the door seal is damaged, the fridge freezer may not work efficiently. Contact customer service or a qualified technician to replace the seal.

Can I put hot food directly into the fridge freezer?

No, it's recommended to let hot food cool down to room temperature before placing it inside the fridge freezer. This helps maintain the internal temperature and prevents excessive energy consumption.

What is the function of the Fresh Space+ drawer?

The Fresh Space+ drawer controls humidity, which helps keep fruits and vegetables fresher for longer, reducing food waste.

What is the energy efficiency rating?

The Indesit IB55 732 B UK has an E energy efficiency rating.

How do I clean the fridge freezer?

Unplug the unit. Clean the interior with a solution of lukewarm water and baking soda. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Clean the door seals and exterior surfaces.

Troubleshooting

The fridge freezer is not cooling.

Check the power supply and ensure the unit is plugged in correctly. Check the thermostat setting and make sure it is not set too low. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

The freezer is building up too much ice.

Ensure that the door is closing properly. Check the door seals for any damage. Avoid opening the freezer door frequently. Manual defrost might be required if ice build-up is excessive.

The fridge freezer is making unusual noises.

Ensure the appliance is level. Check if items inside the fridge freezer are vibrating against each other. Some noise is normal; however, excessive noise might indicate a mechanical issue, requiring service.
