Frequently Asked Questions - TIAA 12 V X INDESIT

Why does the interior light not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly connected and the outlet is powered. If the problem persists, the bulb may be defective: replace it with a bulb of the same power (15 W or 25 W) after unplugging the appliance.

How to reverse the door opening direction?

Refer to the 'Door Reversibility' section of the manual. You will need basic tools (screwdriver) and the provided parts. Follow the steps: disassemble the hinges, swap the doors, and reassemble.

What to do if the refrigerator or freezer does not cool sufficiently?

Check that the doors close properly and the seals are in good condition. Make sure the temperature control knob is not set too low. Avoid opening the doors too often and do not overload the appliance. If the ambient temperature is below 14°C, the freezer may have difficulty reaching the ideal temperature.

How to clean the appliance?

Unplug the appliance. Clean the exterior, interior and seals with a sponge soaked in warm water mixed with baking soda or neutral soap. Rinse and dry. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia. Vacuum the dust at the back with a vacuum cleaner set to medium power.

How to defrost the freezer?

When the frost layer exceeds 5 mm, set the temperature control knob to the 'off' position. Wrap frozen foods in paper and place them in a cool place. Leave the door open until the frost melts completely (you can place containers of warm water to speed up). Clean and dry thoroughly before turning the appliance back on. Wait about 2 hours before putting food back.

Why is there water at the bottom of the refrigerator?

The defrost water drain hole is likely blocked. Clean it periodically with a pipe cleaner or thin rod to allow water to drain normally.

Why does the motor run continuously?

This may be due to a door not closing properly or opening too often, high ambient temperature, too thick a frost layer (more than 2-3 mm), or incorrect temperature setting. Check these points and correct them.

How to adjust the refrigerator temperature?

Use the temperature control knob: position 1 = less cold, position 5 = colder. An intermediate position is recommended. Wait a few hours after adjustment for the temperature to stabilize.

What to do in case of a power outage?

Do not open the freezer door. Frozen and deep-frozen products will keep for about 9 to 14 hours without power. If the outage lasts longer, consume the thawed food quickly.

Where to find the serial number (S/N) and model (Mod.)?

They are indicated on the rating plate located in the refrigerator compartment, bottom left. Note this information before contacting the after-sales service.

The instructions contained in this manual are applicable to different model refrigerators. The diagrams may not directly represent the appliance purchased. For more complex features, consult the following pages.

1 Levelling feet 2 Fruit and vegetable bin 3 Shelves 4 Temperature regulating knob 5 Pure wind 6 Freezer and storage compartment 7 Removable multipurpose shelves* 8 Bottle shelf

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 or 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 authorized 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 authorized 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 5 = coldest

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:

Food	Arrangement inside the refrigerator
Fresh fish and meat	Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Fresh cheese	Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Cooked food	On any shelf
Salami, loaves of bread, chocolate	On any shelf
Fruit and vegetables	In the fruit and vegetable compartment bins
Eggs	On the shelf provided
Butter and margarine	On the shelf provided
Bottles, drinks, milk	On the shelves provided

PURE WIND *

It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).

Pure Wind maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• 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.
• Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.

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. The height can be adjusted without completely removing the shelf.

TEMPERATURE* Indicator light: to identify the coldest area in the refrigerator.

1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).

1. If the word "OK" does not appear, it means that the temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher (colder) position and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has stabilized.
2. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• 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 above the grill in the freezer compartment and, if possible, be in direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles that contain liquids and are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.
• 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. ! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced.

• Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.

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.

Defrosting the appliance

! Follow the instructions below.

Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any devices or tools other than the scraper provided (available only on certain models), you may damage the refrigeration circuit.

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually:

1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position
2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment.
4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before switching the appliance on again.
5. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal storage conditions have been restored, before placing food in the freezer compartment.

Replacing the light bulb

To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below. Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range indicated on the cover (15W or 25W).

This appliance complies with the following Community Directives:

• 2006/95/CEE of 12/12/2006 (Low Voltage)
• 2004/108/CEE of 12/12/2004 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
• 2011/65/EU (RoHS).
• 2012/19/EU.

General safety

• 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.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or moist hands and feet.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical equipment - other than the type recommended by the manufacturer - inside the frozen food storage compartments.
• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into your mouth.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. - Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal

• Observe local environmental standards when disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU 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 optimize 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. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• 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.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance).

Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.

The internal light does not illuminate.

• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.

The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool well.

• The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
• The doors are opened too frequently.
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position.
• The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
• The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the appliance is lower than 14°C.

The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.

• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position.
• The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the refrigerator.

The motor runs continuously.

• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.
• The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm (see Maintenance).

The appliance makes a lot of noise.

• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see Installation).
• The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and make noise.
• The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.

Some of the external parts of the refrigerator become hot.

• These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the formation of condensation on certain parts of the product.

The back wall of the refrigerator unit is covered in frost or droplets of water

• This shows the appliance is operating normally.

There is water at the bottom of the refrigerator.

• The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).

Installation

• Do not refreeze products that are in the process of defrosting or have already defrosted; these food products must be cooked in order to be consumed (within 24 hours).
• Fresh food products that are to be frozen should not be placed in contact with already frozen products; they should be placed in the upper freezing and storage compartment, where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees a good freezing speed. Do not place glass bottles, liquids, canned goods, or hermetically sealed containers in the freezer, as they may burst.
• The maximum quantity of food products that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the plate with characteristics, placed inside the refrigerating compartment at the bottom (e.g.: 4 kg/24h).

During freezing, keep the door closed. In case of a power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door: the frozen and deep-frozen food products will be preserved without defrosting for about 19-14 hours.

If the ambient temperature remains high for a long time, the freezing compartment may not reach the necessary temperature for long-term storage; the storage time will be shorter.

Draining the water: The water drains through the drain opening (disc) where the compressor is located. The only intervention you need to perform from time to time is cleaning the drain opening so that the water can drain unobstructed.

How to drain the freezer.

If the drain hole is blocked by 5 mm, it is necessary to clean the drain opening:

1. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired setting.
2. Place the frozen food in a cool place and leave it there.
3. Leave the doors open until they are completely defrosted; you can speed up the operation by placing bowls with warm water in the freezer.
4. Carefully clean and dry the freezer before turning it on again.
5. After cleaning, put the food back in the freezer and wait about 2 hours to achieve ideal conditions for food storage.

Replacing the light bulb

Appendix: Replacing the light bulb for the freezer. Unplug the plug from the socket.

Follow the instructions. To access the lamp, you need to remove the cover, as shown in the figure. Replace it with the corresponding bulb indicated on the cover (15 W or 25 W).

Notes and tips

! The appliance is designed and manufactured according to current international safety standards. Please read the notes carefully as they are important for safety reasons.

Instructions for use of the appliance:

• 2006/95/EC of 12/12/2006 (Low Voltage Directive)
• 2004/108/EC of 12/12/2004 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
• 2011/65/EU (RoHS).
• 2012/19/EU.

Safety instructions

The appliance is intended for non-professional use in the household. The appliance should be used for storing food, by adults or persons following the instructions in this manual. This appliance must not be placed outdoors, even if the space is covered; it is especially dangerous to expose the appliance to weather conditions. Do not touch or move the appliance with wet hands or when your hands or feet are wet. Do not touch the interior cooling surfaces: they can cause burns or injuries. Do not pull the plug out of the socket by pulling the cable, as you may damage the plug. It is necessary to unplug the appliance before cleaning and maintenance. It is not enough to just turn the thermostat to the lowest setting (appliance off) before any electrical contact. - In case of damage, never try to repair the internal mechanisms yourself. - Do not use sharp objects or electrical appliances not recommended by the manufacturer inside the freezer compartment. Do not put ice cubes directly into your mouth after removing them from the freezer.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance. In no case should you sit on the appliance or on the open door. - Packaging is not a toy for children.

Disposal

• Disposal of packaging materials: follow local regulations, so that they can be reused. Disposal of old appliance: OBSERVE THE LAW. The refrigerant circuit contains refrigerants and blowing gases (butane and cyclopentane), which, if released, can be harmful to the environment. AVOID ANY DAMAGE TO THE PIPES.
• Before disposing of the old appliance, disable the lock by removing the plug and breaking the lock on the door.

Care and respect for the environment

• Place the appliance in a dark and well-ventilated place, protected from direct sunlight and far from heat sources. When storing fresh food, open the appliance door as little as possible.

Every opening of the door causes significant energy consumption.

Do not put too much food in the appliance: for proper cooling, cold air must circulate freely. If circulation is obstructed, the compressor will run continuously. Do not put hot food: by raising the internal temperature, you force the compressor to work constantly, with high energy consumption. - Defrost the appliance when frost forms (see Maintenance); frost reduces cooling efficiency and increases energy consumption. Maintain and clean the appliance in a way that does not require long door openings and loss of cold air (see Maintenance).

Replacement parts

If the device does not work, check the power supply (see Power Supply), make sure that the plug is inserted correctly, and that nothing is blocking the device.
