Respecting And Conserving The Environment; Troubleshooting - Indesit TAN 6 FNF D series Operating Instructions Manual

• 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 ON/OFF
(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 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.

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 display is completely switched off.
• 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 motor does not start.
• The appliance comes with a motor protection control (see
Start-up and use).
The display is on but it is dim.
• Pull out and reverse the plug before putting it back in the
socket.
The alarm sounds, the ALARM LED lights up and the
refrigerator compartment light flashes.
• The refrigerator door has been open for more than two
minutes.
The buzzer stops when the door is closed or when the
ALARM button is pressed.
The alarm sounds, the ALARM LED lights up and the
freezer status bar LEDs light up in sequence.
• The temperature inside the freezer is too high. The freezer
will maintain a temperature of around 0°C so that the food
will not refreeze, allowing you to eat it within 24 hours or to
refreeze it after it has been cooked.
To switch off the buzzer, press the ALARM button. Press
a second time to display the set value on the freezer
status bar, switch off the ALARM LED and restore normal
operation.
The alarm sounds, the ALARM LED flashes and the freezer
status bar LEDs flash simultaneously.
• The temperature of the freezer is dangerously high: the
food inside must not be eaten. The freezer will maintain a
temperature of approximately 0°C.
To switch off the buzzer, press the RESET ALARM button.
Press a second time to display the set value on the freezer
status bar, switch off the ALARM LED and restore normal
operation.
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 that has been set is too high (see Start-up
and use).
• The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.
• The temperature that has been set is too low (see Start-up
and use).
The motor runs continuously.
• The SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed (rapid
freezing): the yellow SUPER FREEZE light is on or flashing
(see Description).
• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.
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.
Early ending of functions
• Electrical disturbance on the network or brief interruptions of
the power supply.
The freezer status bar LEDs do not indicate the set
temperature, and are lit in a constant manner.
• Contact the Technical Assistance Centre.
