Installation; Start-Up And Use - Indesit TZA 1 Operating Instructions Manual

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 red ALARM
and green POWER indicator lights illuminate (the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must not be on
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the "Super"
position: the yellow SUPER FREEZE indicator light will illuminate.
3. When the red indicator light switches off, turn the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position. The
freezer is now ready to be used.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob to adjust the
temperature ( see Description ).
• 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 in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where
the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid
freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which 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
within the freezer (for example: Kg/24h: 4).
Freezig
1. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the "Fast
Freeze" position (the yellow FAST FREEZE indicator light should
be on).
2. Place the fresh food you wish to freeze inside the upper
FREEZER and STORAGE compartment, making sure it is not in
contact with food that has already been frozen and, if possible,
position it so that it is in direct contact with the cooling shelves.
Bear in mind that for food to be frozen and stored in good
condition, the freezing process should take place quickly. For
this reason, we recommend that you turn the knob to the "Fast
Freeze" position 24 hours before placing fresh food in the
freezer. This action is necessary when freezing large quantities
of food (up to the maximum amount indicated on the data plate).
3. Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer may
temporarily increase the temperature inside the appliance (this
is indicated when the red ALARM light illuminates). This situation,
as it is only temporary, does not adversely affect the storage
conditions of food that is already frozen.
4. After 24 hours, once the freezing process is complete, return the
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to its normal operating
position.
! Remember to readjust the temperature in order to avoid wasting
energy.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
Storage
• Follow the instructions given on the packaging of frozen food
carefully and consume the products within 3 months of the date
they were bought.
• When buying frozen food, ensure that it has been stored at a
suitable temperature and that the packaging is intact. To
maintain the quality of frozen food, use suitable bags or
containers when transporting it and place it inside the freezer as
soon as possible.
• If the packaging shows signs of moisture or unusual swelling, it
is likely that the product has been stored previously at an
unsuitable temperature and that the contents have suffered as a
result.
• In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the freezer, you
can remove the central drawer, and place the food directly onto
the evaporator plate. Make sure that, after having inserted the
load, the door closes correctly.
).
! 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.
