User manual WHIRLPOOL KDNA 4001 INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] This prevents frost from forming on the compartment walls, therefore there is no need to defrost the appliance. The humidity absorbed by the evaporator is transformed into water, which is automatically routed to a container located on the compressor, from where it evaporates. The ventilated refrigeration system guarantees optimal food storage, maintaining the original characteristics longer. To get the most out of your new appliance, read the user handbook thoroughly. [. . . ] Every time you press the key, the temperature will be set from position “Less Cold” (level 1) to position “Coldest” (level 5). Minimum freezing - level 1 Recommended when there is not much food in the freezer and occasional door opening. Medium freezing - level 3 Commended for normal use. Maximum freezing - level 5 Recommended when there is a lot of food in the freezer and frequent door opening. There are still two other intermediate temperature settings, 2 and 4, which can also be used as needed. REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL • The refrigerator compartment temperature is set by pressing the refrigeration control key to the level you want. There are five temperature settings for the refrigerator compartment. Every time you press the key, the temperature will be set from position “Less Cold” (level 1) to position “Coldest” (level 5). Minimum refrigeration - level 1 Recommended for cold days, not much food in the refrigerator and occasional door opening. Medium refrigeration - level 3 Recommended for normal use. Maximum refrigeration - level 5 Recommended for hot days, a lot of food in the refrigerator, and frequent door opening. There are still two other intermediate temperature settings, 2 and 4, which can also be used as needed. 26 FREEZER TEMPERATURE CONTROL - INTERNAL CONTROLS Freezer temperature: Each time you press the key, you will select a freezing level. Minimum freezing: recommended when there is not much food in the freezer and occasional door opening. Medium freezing: recommended for normal use. Maximum freezing: recommended when there is a lot of food in the freezer and frequent door opening. REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL Refrigeration Minimum Conditions of use • Cold days • Not much food stored • Occasional opening of door • Intermediate condition • Hot days • A lot of food stored • Frequent opening of door Medium • The temperature of the refrigerator compartment is set by sliding the control to the position chosen. Avoid exceeding the freezing capacity of your product. • Always observe the expiration date of frozen food which is indicated by the manufacturer. • Liquids increase in volume when frozen. Take care when storing bottles or other closed containers in the freezer. • When storing foods, avoid placing them next to air openings not to impair the good operation of the product. • Pull the pins outward to remove the rails. • To remove the shelf, just slide the side locks as in the picture, and pull it toward you. • Remove the rails as in the picture and place them where you wish. • After replacing the extra shelf, slide the side locks to their original position. Important: • Before replacing the rails, notice the word “Upward” engraved on the rail. • After that, place the shelf on the rails. 30 VEGETABLES DRAWER Foods such as fruits and vegetables dehydrate when stored in direct contact with cold and dry air. The vegetables drawer keeps the temperature and humidity adequate for storage of fruits and vegetables, preserving their natural characteristics. The metallic rails of the vegetables drawer provide smooth and safe opening and closing of the drawer. To organize foods to your convenience, use the vegetables separator available in your refrigerator. Humidity control: • The vegetables drawer is provided with a humidity control that allows you to control the necessary amount of air that goes into the drawer. • We recommend to keep the control closed to preserve leafy vegetables and open to preserve fruits. GUIDE TO STORAGE AND THAWING OF FOOD PREPARING FRESH FOOD FOR FREEZING It is important to wrap food so that no water, moisture, or vapour may penetrate; this avoids the transfer of odours and flavours throughout the refrigerator and allows better storage of frozen food. Use plastic containers with tight fitting lids, aluminium trays, aluminium foil, cling film and waterproof plastic wrappings. Important: • 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. • Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. • Respect the best-before date on the package. [. . . ] When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters the refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very humid. • If the room is very humid, it is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator. • It is normal for droplets of water to form on the rear wall after the automatic defrost cycle.
