Whirlpool CR329PZ, CR324PNF, CR325PNFZ, CR325APL1, CR324A8 User Manual

FIRST USE

Connect the appliance to the mains power supply.

A beep may be emitted by some models, to indicate that the temperature alarm has intervened: press and hold the button to switch off acoustic alarms. As applicable, insert the anti-bacterial/anti-odour filter into the fan as indicated on the filter package.

Note: after switching on, the refrigerator needs approximately 4/5 hours to reach the correct temperature for storing a normal fridge load of food.

APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE

AND CLEANING

Clean the appliance regularly using a cloth and a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent specifically formulated for refrigerator interiors. Never use abrasive detergents. Clean inside the defrost water drain outlet on the rear wall of the refrigerator (near the fruit and vegetable crisper drawer) regularly, using the tool supplied with the appliance so as to ensure defrost water is removed correctly (see figure). Before all cleaning or maintenance procedures, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electricity supply.

CHANGING THE BULB OR LED (depending on the model)

Always unplug the refrigerator before replacing any light bulbs, then follow the relevant instructions in accordance with the type of lighting fitted in your appliance.

Only use bulbs of the same type, which can be requested from the After-Sales Service and authorised dealers.

Lighting type 1)

1.Loosen the screws and take off the lamp cover.

2.The lamp has a bayonet bulb and needs to be pulled out, not unscrewed, following the directions of the arrows as indicated.

3.After the new bulb has been inserted, replace the lamp cover and wait five minutes before plugging the appliance back in.

Lighting type 2)

To remove the light bulb, turn anticlockwise as shown in the figure. Wait for 5 minutes before reconnecting the appliance.

Lighting type 3)

If the product has LED lighting which is in need of replacing, contact the After-Sales Service for assistance.

LED lights last longer than normal bulbs, they illuminate better and are more environmentally friendly

WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT IN USE

Unplug the appliance from the mains, then empty, defrost (if necessary) and clean it. Leave the doors ajar, so that air can circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and bad odours.

DURING BLACKOUTS

Keep the doors closed to allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible. Do not refreeze partially thawed food. If the blackout persists, the blackout alarm may sound (depending on the model).

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator compartment is designed for the storage of fresh food and beverages.

Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic.

Droplets of water on the rear wall of the compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates.

Depending on the model, the appliance may have a special box ("Meat & Fish" or "Zero Degrees") which is ideal for the storage of fresh meat and fish.

Important: refrigerator accessories must not be washed in a dishwasher.

Note: the ambient temperature, the door opening frequency and the position of the appliance may affect temperatures inside the two compartments. Set the temperature in accordance with these factors.

Note: when there is a lot of moisture inside the refrigerator compartment and on the glass shelves in particular, condensation may form. In this case, we recommend closing any liquid-filled containers (e.g.: saucepans full of stock), wrapping foods with a high liquid content (e.g.: vegetables) and setting the temperature to a warmer value.

Removing the crisper drawer (depending on the model)

If your product only has a crisper drawer, to facilitate its removal we recommend emptying (and, if necessary, removing) the two lower door trays beforehand.

Fan and anti-bacterial/anti-odour filter (depending on the model)

The fan will ensure uniform air circulation inside the compartment, for improved food storage and excess moisture reduction. Do not obstruct the fan inlet. The fan can be activated/deactivated manually (see Quick Start Guide); when activated, it works automatically as necessary.
