Troubleshooting - Indesit UIAA 1x.1 Series Operating Instruction

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 2012/96/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 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.
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 green POWER indicator 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 WARNING Indicator light is Always On.
• The door is not closed properly or has been open
continuously.
• The door has been opened too frequently.
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct
position.
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.
Condensation on the inner walls of refrigerator
• Hot and humid weather increases condensation. Doors might
have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time.
Please make sure that the doors are completely closed. It is
normal and not a fault.
Condensation on the outside of the refrigerator or between
the doors
• Humid weather increases condensation. When the humidity
is less, condensation will disappear. It is normal and not a
fault.
Bad odour inside the refrigerator
• Inside of the refrigerator must be cleaned. Food must be kept
in suitable containers and/or packaging. It is normal and not
a fault.
