Installation; Start-Up And Use - Indesit TAA 12 Serie Mode D'emploi

Installation

! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read
these operating instructions carefully. They contain important
information for safe use, for installation and for care of the
appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference.
Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of
the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm
between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat
(direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the
appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in
the installation kit, following the instructions provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator
by tightening or loosening the front feet.
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the
electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical
socket ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the
law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on
the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
• The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side
(e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If
the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised
technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use
extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply
cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments
and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal
light illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 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
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob.
1 = warmest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the
back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space
and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will
be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether
the compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the
refrigerator is functioning normally.
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set
on high values with large quantities of food and with a high
ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously,
resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy
consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards
lower values (defrosting will occur automatically). In static
appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the colder air
tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food should be
stored as follows:
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not
hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw
foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase
humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and
the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage
of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
