Indesit SIAA12UK Guida Utente

• 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.

• 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. Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.

• 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).

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

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.

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 (
