PRODUCT SHEET

Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, No-Frost
fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use. Whirlpool Total­no-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 to the walls, labelling stays legible and
storage space remains neat and clear. No-Frost’s temperature
control helps keep food fresher for longer. In combination
with 6th Sense, not only does it control the sensor, but
directs the cooling power exactly where it is needed,
optimising energy efficiency.

The Hygiene+ filter ensures a higher level of hygiene in your
refrigerator through continuously purifying the circulating air
from bacteria. Remove it from the box found in the crisper
drawer (item 13) and insert into the grille (item 12).
Replace the filter every 6 months.

insert).

2. Replace the filter and the grille with the new ones.

3. The replacement procedure is attached with the filter.

Our After-sales Service can supply this type of filter.

The crisper and the door seals are manufactured from
materials that inhibit bacterial growth.

In case of power failure the cold accumulator helps to
keep optimal storage temperature longer.
