Setup and Installation
Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including foam and adhesive tape. Dispose of packaging responsibly. Check the appliance for any damage during transit. If damage is found, do not install or operate the refrigerator and contact your retailer.

Leveling
Adjust the front leveling feet to ensure the refrigerator is stable and level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door closure.
Door Reversal
The doors of your Indesit IT60 732 S refrigerator are reversible. If you need to change the door opening direction, it is recommended to contact a qualified service technician to perform this procedure.
Electrical Connection
Connect the power cord to a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements (50 Volt, as specified). Do not use multi-plugs or extension cords. Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Initial Operation
After plugging in, set the temperature control (if applicable) to a medium setting. Allow the refrigerator to run empty for at least 4-6 hours before loading it with food. This ensures the interior reaches the optimal temperature.
Operating Instructions
Temperature Control
The Indesit IT60 732 S features automatic temperature regulation. While there is no adjustable temperature control dial, the appliance is designed to maintain optimal temperatures for food storage. Avoid frequently opening the doors to maintain stable internal temperatures.
Fresh Space Crisper Drawer
The Fresh Space crisper drawer is located at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. It is designed to maintain an ideal humidity level for storing fruits and vegetables, helping them stay fresh for longer.

LED Lighting
The interior of the refrigerator is illuminated by energy-efficient LED lights. These lights provide clear visibility of all contents, making it easy to find items. LED lights are designed for long life and do not require frequent replacement.
Humidity Control
The refrigerator is equipped with a humidity control system to ensure optimal food preservation. This feature helps to reduce food waste by keeping items like leafy greens and certain fruits at their ideal moisture level.

Food Storage Tips
- Store cooked foods and dairy products on upper shelves.
- Raw meat and fish should be stored on the lowest shelf, in sealed containers, to prevent dripping onto other foods.
- Use the Fresh Space drawer for fruits and vegetables.
- Ensure all food is covered or sealed to prevent drying out and odor transfer.
- Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning the Interior
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surfaces.
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent. For stainless steel surfaces, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Ensure the appliance is dry after cleaning.
Manual Defrosting
The freezer compartment of the Indesit IT60 732 S requires manual defrosting. When the ice layer reaches a thickness of about 5 mm, defrost the freezer. To defrost:
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Remove all food items and store them in a cool place.
- Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt naturally. Place towels at the bottom to absorb water.
- Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
- Plug the refrigerator back in and allow it to cool before returning food.
Door Seals
Regularly check and clean the door seals to ensure they are free from food debris and are sealing properly. A clean and intact seal helps maintain energy efficiency.
