Your new appliance is a combined ventilated,
fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use.

Whirlpool Total-no-frost fridge freezers circulate chilled
air around the storage areas, reducing humidity to
prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely
eliminating the need for defrosting. Frozen items don't
stick together, labeling stays legible and storage space
remains clear. No-Frost's even temperature control also
helps keep food fresher for longer.
In combination with

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

When the appliance is connected to the power supply, the display lights up and all the symbols appear on the display
for a few seconds.

The factory setting -18°C appears and flashes, the symbol lits, while the refrigerator display shows a
temperature of +5°C (factory-set).

While the appliance is working to reach the factory-set temperature, the alarm icon lits , an acoustic alarm
sounds and temperature symbol on the freezer display flashes (- -). This indicates that the appliance has not yet
reached the optimal temperature for storage of foodstuffs.

Press and hold the button until the acoustic alarm disables.
The icon disappears when the freezer compartment reaches a temperature below -12°C, the display will show

the temperature -18°C, at which point food can be loaded into the freezer compartment.
After being switched on, the refrigerator needs from 2 to 3 hours to reach the correct temperature to store a typical

volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.

IMPORTANT:

• If food is placed in the refrigerator before the appliance has cooled completely, it may deteriorate.

• Turning the refrigerator and freezer controls to a cooler than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.

• A built-in exterior moisture control continuously guards against moisture build-up on the front edges;

Do not be alarmed if these edges sometimes feel warm to the touch.
The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened. After 10 minutes of door opening the light

switches off.

circulation of air.

•

Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the
refrigerator compartment.

•

Do not place hot food in the refrigerator or freezer.

•

Store liquids in closed containers.
Storing vegetables with a high water content can result in
condensation in the crisper container: this will not affect the
correct operation of the appliance.

17

EXTRA SHELF (depending on the model)

Your refrigerator is provided with extra wire shelf. It’s ideal to
store bottles.

•

To use it, pull it frontward to the position indicated in the

SLIDING GLASS SHELVES (depending on the model)

Your refrigerator is provided with sliding glass shelves which
make it easier for you to access foods stored at the shelves or at
lower shelves.

•

The shelves are made of highly resistant hardened glass.

•

The edges of the shelves prevent split liquids from going to

other compartments.

•

In some models the maximum load of glass shelf is given ( )

Changing the position of shelves:

Your refrigerator allows you to change the position of shelves
according to your needs.

•

To remove the shelf, pull it forward to the stop.

•

Keep the lock pressed down ad shown in the picture detail,

and pull the shelf frontward until it is released. The locks can

be pressed separately.

HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT (DEPENDING ON THE
MODEL)

In “No-Frost” appliances, defrosting of freezer is
completely automatic.
In other appliances, defrost the freezer compartment once
or twice a year, or when the ice on the walls reaches a
thickness of about 3mm. If possible, defrost the freezer
when it is nearly empty.

•

Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply
(refrigerator compartment switches off too).

•

Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in a paper and group
together in a cool place or in a portable cooler.

•

Remove the ice-cube tray.

•

Remove the baskets.

•

Pull out the defrost water drain from the base of the freezer
compartment.

•

Leave the freezer compartment door open. Place a shallow
container below the drain channel to collect the defrost water.

•

Clean the freezer compartment using a sponge dampened in a
solution of warm water and neutral detergent. Do not use
abrasive products.

•

Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.

•

Reconnect the appliance to the power supply.

•

Refit the drain in place and reposition the baskets.

Note:

•

Do not use sharp or pointed metal instruments to scrape off ice;
do not heat the freezer compartment artificially. Any damage to
the appliance resulting from failure to observe these instructions
is not covered by the guarantee.

•

Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting
can shorten its storage life.

19

HOW TO FREEZE FRESH FOOD

You can use the freezer compartment to freeze food.
The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours, at an
ambient temperature of +25°C, is indicated on the data plate.

How to proceed:

•

Wrap and seal the food in: aluminium foil, cling film, watertight
plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or special freezer
containers.

•

Place food in the top compartment, leaving enough space for air
to circulate around packs. To speed up the freezing process and
increase the compartment capacity, remove the top basket/s
and the ice pack storage drawer (if provided). Put the already
frozen food into the other drawers and the food still to be
frozen directly onto the refrigerator grid.

Note:

•

In case of power failure, the freezer compartment is able to
maintain the correct storage temperature for about 12 hours.

•

Do not open the freezer compartment door during a power
failure, it will allow to maintain a low temperature as long as
possible.

•

For models equipped with ice packs, this time can be elongated
to 18-24 hours.

The storage time for frozen fresh foods.

•

The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage
time for frozen fresh foods.

When purchasing frozen food products:

•

Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is
swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under
optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.

•

When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.

•

Place the items in the freezer compartment as soon as you get
home.

•

If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.

•

Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.

•

Respect the best-before date on the package.

•

Always observe the storage information on the package.

Making ice cubes

•

Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and fit it onto the runners
above the top basket (as shown in the figure).

•

If the tray sticks to the bottom of the compartment, do not use
pointed or sharp instruments to detach it.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any cleaning operations, unplug the
appliance.

•

Clean the inside of the freezer compartment when defrosting.

•

Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment

with a sponge dampened in warm water and/or neutral

detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive

products.

•

Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive

products, scourers, stain-removers (e.g. acetone,

trichloroethylene) or vinegar.
