Installation and Positioning

The Indesit HDR190I Refrigerator should be installed in a fresh and well-ventilated room. It must be protected from direct sunlight and should not be placed near heat sources. Ensure the appliance is on a level and rigid floor. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front feet. After transportation, the appliance should be placed vertically and allowed to sit for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains.

Temperature Control

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment adjusts automatically based on the position of the thermostat knob. For optimal food preservation, avoid filling the appliance with too much food as cold air must circulate freely. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work continuously, increasing energy consumption.

Safety and Usage

The appliance is designed for domestic use only and is not intended for commercial or industrial purposes. Repairs should only be carried out by authorized personnel. Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator to prevent raising internal temperature and forcing the compressor to work harder.

Automatic Defrosting

The refrigerator features an automatic defrosting function. Water generated from defrosting is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet where it evaporates with the heat produced by the compressor, eliminating the need for manual defrosting.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning or maintenance, always switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It is not enough to set the appliance to 'off' using the on/off button. Use lukewarm water and bicarbonate to clean the compartments and accessories. Ensure the water discharge hole is not blocked to prevent issues.

Free Helpdesk and After Sales Service

Indesit provides a free helpdesk service for technical difficulties within the first 90 days of ownership. For assistance, call the Hotpoint Service Hotline. Additionally, a 12-month parts and labour guarantee is provided. Regular checks and replacement of the cable should be performed by authorized technicians.

Maintenance

Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Indesit Refrigerator.

Proper Installation

Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. Ensure it is placed on a level and rigid floor, away from any sources of heat such as direct sunlight and electric stoves. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front feet.

Temperature Management

Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to set the desired temperature. Avoid setting it too high to prevent the appliance from operating continuously, which can lead to high frost formation and increased energy consumption.

Defrosting and Ice Management

The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function. It is not necessary to defrost manually. However, ensure the water discharge hole is not blocked to avoid ice buildup, which can increase energy consumption.

Maintenance of Door Seals

Regularly check and clean the door seals to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping. This helps maintain the efficiency of the refrigerator.

Avoid Overloading

Do not fill the appliance with too much food. Cold air must circulate freely for the food to be preserved properly. Overloading can cause the compressor to work continuously and consume more energy.
