User manual WHIRLPOOL CZN 280 B INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] Installation of the appliance and electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations. SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT 1. Packing The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and marked with the recycling symbol. Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc. ) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. Appliance The appliance is made using recyclable materials. [. . . ] How to proceed: • 24 before freezing fresh food, press the “super” - fast freezebutton. The yellow indicator light will light up. • 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. “HALF LOAD” FUNCTION • When the freezer is only partially full, put all the food in the central basket and set the knob to HALF LOAD for energy saving. Note: • In the event of a power failure, the freezer compartment maintains the correct storage temperature for about 12 hours. • Do not open the freezer compartment door during a power failure. Important: 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. • Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. • Respect the best-before date on the package. • Always observe the storage information on the package. 71 3gb33036. fm Page 72 Monday, January 27, 2003 10:27 AM HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT Making ice cubes • Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and fit it onto the runners above the top drawer. To speed up the ice making process, place the tray on the bottom of the top drawer (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. HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT Defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a year, or when the ice on the walls reaches a thickness of about 3 mm. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. • Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in a newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. • Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. [. . . ] The Manufacturer declines all liabilities for injury to persons or animals or damage to property resulting from failure to observe these regulations. • If the plug and socket are not of the same type, have the socket replaced by a qualified electrician • Do not use extension cables, multiple sockets or adapters. 75 3gb33036. fm Page 76 Monday, January 27, 2003 10:27 AM ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 1) For Great Britain only Warning - this appliance must be earthed Fuse replacement If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.
