FLEX COOL BOX
WARNING:
*
This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese
fresh. When positioned in the “lower” part of the fridge
compartment, it is ideal for meat and fish; when moved
to the “top” part of the fridge, it is perfect for cheese. It
can be taken out of the fridge when it is not needed.
the GRAFFITI marker kit was studied, designed and
tested to be used exclusively on the doors and sides of
those products belonging to the Indesit range with
which it is sold.
Therefore, do not use:
- your Graffiti markers on other Indesit refrigerators and/
or other brands;
PLAY ZONE Thanks to the new “Play Zone” bottle
rack, you can cool several bottles, cans and energy
drinks quickly to have them constantly at hand.

- other types or makes of markers on your Indesit
refrigerator;
*
If you do not follow the instructions above, it could result
in colour stains and/or permanent marks.
Children should only use the markers under adult
supervision.
Indesit Company S.p.A shall not be liable for any effects
resulting from incorrect use of the GRAFFITI kit.
If the “Play Zone” is placed on the glass shelf, you can
store large and medium sized bottles on it simply by
laying the bottle on the flat rack. This is ideal for storing
wine bottles. When folded and secured in place on either
side of the shelf, the rack can be used to store cans (at
the top), energy drinks (in the centre) and other cans

Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
GB
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment,
not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm
water and bicarbonate.
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control
system which makes the compressor start approximately
8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also
starts each time the power supply is cut off whether
voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
internal light illuminates ( the FREEZER OPERATION
knob must not be on the • position) .
2. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob and
REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average
value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in
the refrigerator.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the
refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself
according to the position
of the thermostat knob.
min= warmest
max = coldest
We recommend, however,
a medium position.
Chiller system
No Frost
It is recognisable by
aeration cells located on
the back walls of the
compartments.
The No Frost system
circulates cold air
continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice
and frost formation. The
system maintains an
optimal humidity level in
the compartment,
preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the
food from sticking together and making defrosting a thing
of the past. Do not block the aeration cells by placing
food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating
back panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.

Using the freezer to its full potential
Ice3 ice tray
GB
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer
drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer
comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer
compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water
during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after
filling with water is also provided).
The temperature inside the
freezer compartment
automatically adjusts itself
according to the position of
the thermostat knob.
= warmest
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.
= coldest
We recommend, however, a
medium position.
Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with
water through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to
melt and empty the tray).
ECO is the optimal temperature for energy saving levels.
switches the appliance off, including the refrigerator.
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments
each mould fills with water (see diagram).
• 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.
Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and
STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops
below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the
tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding
housing and allowing it to drop in again.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time
approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard
surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes
come loose and take them out through the opening.
WARNING: 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 place glass bottles which contain liquids, and
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer
because they could break.
MAX
WATER LEVEL
• 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)
! 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.

Cleaning the appliance
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber
seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been
soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or
neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products,
bleach or ammonia.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm
water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry
them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can
be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum
cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be
switched off and the plug must be pulled out before
cleaning the appliance.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials
which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free
refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food
must always be covered or sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors
open.
8
Precautions and tips
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in
compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
Disposal
GB
• Observe local environmental standards when
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the
materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected.
This appliance complies with the following
Community Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and
subsequent amendments;
-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;
- 2002/96/CE.
General safety
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal
of their old appliance.
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside
the home and is not intended for commercial or
industrial use.
• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food
products by adults only and according to the
instructions in this manual.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight
and do not place it near heat sources.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or
moist hands and feet.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve
energy.
• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food:
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will
work continuously.
• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off
the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical
supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature
adjustment knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all
electrical contact.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The
internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance).
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food
products more difficult and results in increased
energy consumption.
• Do not use devices or tools other than the special
scraper provided inside the compartments.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (see Maintenance).
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer
into your mouth.
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or
play with the appliance. Under no circumstance should
they be allowed to sit on the bins or to hang from the
door.
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It
can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
