User manual WHIRLPOOL ART 668/G INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] Ensure that the refrigeration circuit is not damaged until it is drained according to the standards in force. RECYCLING OF PACKAGING Warning!Playing with the folded cardboard or plastic sheeting carries the risk of suffocation. • The appliance has been protected with adequate packaging for protection during transport. All wrapping materials are produced in accordance with environmental regulations and can be recycled. [. . . ] • For optimum efficiency, do not cover the shelves with paper or other materials to allow the cool air to circulate freely. Once opened, tinned foods should be transferred to an airtight food storage container. • Drinks with a high alcohol content must be stored in a vertical position in tightly sealed containers, to avoid the risk of explosion. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE 123456789Removable shelves Vegetable box cover Fruit and vegetable box. Ice cube compartment Quick-freeze compartment Frozen food compartment Casing for thermostat and lamp Shelf with cover Shelf for jars 3 10- Bottle stop 11- Shelf for bottles 12- Base 13- Adjustable feet ASSEMBLY This appliance has been designed to operate at a room temperature of between +16°C and + 32°C (class N). If the room temperature exceeds +32°C, the internal temperature of the appliance may rise. If the room temperature falls below +10°C, appliance performance will be affected. Locate the appliance away from sources of heat, being careful not to hinder the free flow of air around the appliance; any obstruction will bring the entire refrigerating system into operation, leading to higher power consumption. After locating the appliance in the desired position on a level surface, bring it to a horizontal position by turning the front feet clockwise or anticlockwise until a good contact with the floor is obtained. Assemble the lower crosspiece and two condenser stops as shown in the diagrams. MAINS CONNECTION The appliance is designed to at a single-phase voltage of 220-230V, 50 Hz. Before connecting the appliance to the mains, be sure that the mains voltage, current type and frequency comply with those of the appliance as specified on the technical data label. Warning!The electrical safety of the appliance is guaranteed only if the power supply is earthed in accordance with the laws in force. STARTING UP Before starting up the appliance clean the inside (see chapter “Cleaning”). When cleaning is finished, connect the appliance to the mains, open the door (the lamp should be illuminated) and adjust the thermostat knob to a medium position. Fresh foods can be frozen after a minimum of 12 working hours. 4 ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE Refrigerator The internal temperature may be adjusted by means of the thermostat knob. The temperature inside the appliance may vary depending on the conditions of use: location, room temperature, the frequency with which the doors are opened and the quantity of food stored and the thermostat knob should be adjusted accordingly. As a general rule, the thermostat knob should be set to a medium position for a room temperature of 25°C. The thermostat also assures the automatic defrosting of the refrigerator. During defrosting, the temperature inside the refrigerator may rise to +8°C, but decreases to 2-3°C during the freezing period, bringing the average temperatures over the whole working cycle to about +5°C. Avoid setting the thermostat knob at too low a temperature, causing the appliance to run continuously. This causes the temperature to drop below 0°C, causing potential freezing of drinks and fresh foods and an excessive accumulation of ice on the internal wall, all of which may cause an increase in power consumption and a drop in refrigerating efficiency. Drops of condensation or ice particles form on the back wall when the entire refrigerating system is in operation. It is not necessary to remove these particles, as the back wall is defrosted automatically. The resulting water is drained through the special drainer and collected in a drip pan located on the compressor, where it evaporates. Freezer The position of the thermostat may also influence freezer temperature. [. . . ] Noises due to the contact between bottles or containers – leave a little space between them. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible causes 1. Solution Replace the lamp: -disconnect the appliance from the mains; -release the lamp cover; -replace the lamp with another one of max. There is water in The water-draining Clean the collection channel the bottom part of the channel is clogged. The refrigerating - The appliance door - Avoid opening the door appliance starts too has been opened more than necessary. [. . . ]
