User manual WHIRLPOOL GKT 2550 BK INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient. Installation and the electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified technician according to the manufacturer's instructions and in compliance with the local safety regulations. Clean the inside of the appliance before using it. SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT 1. Packing The packing material is 100% recyclable and bears the recycling symbol. [. . . ] • To avoid the risk of children becoming trapped and suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the appliance. • Do not swallow the contents (non-toxic) of the ice packs (where provided). • Use the refrigerator compartment to store fresh food only and the freezer compartment to store frozen food, to freeze fresh food, and to make ice cubes only. • Do not store glass containers with liquids in the freezer since they may burst. • Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer since they may cause cold burns. • Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning, unplug the appliance or disconnect it from the power supply. • All appliances equipped with an ice-maker and water dispenser must be connected to a water supply that only delivers drinking water (with mains water pressure of between 0. 17 and 0. 81 Mpascals (1. 7 and 8. 1 bar)). Ice-makers and/or water dispensers not directly connected to the water supply must be filled with drinking water only. • The Manufacturer declines any liability if the above advice and precautions are not respected. • Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids or gas in the vicinity of this or other electrical appliances. The vapours may cause fire or explosion. • Do not use mechanical, electric or chemical means other than those recommended by the Manufacturer to speed up the defrost process. • Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen. Freezing and storing fresh food • Place foods to be frozen in the baskets. • Place the ice packs (if supplied) above the food stored in the top compartment. • In models with ice packs, in the event of a power failure, place the ice pack/s above the food stored in the top compartment, in order to optimise the rising time and therefore maintain correct food preservation. Important: The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods. Declared performance refers to appliance operation without ice packs, with the exception of the rising time. Classification of frozen foods Put the frozen products into the freezer and classify them. The storage date should be indicated on the packs, to allow use within expiry dates. Advice for storing frozen food When purchasing frozen food products: • Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). [. . . ] • Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes. Note: The freezer door will not re-open easily immediately after closing (except for the models with specific valve). Wait a few minutes before opening again in order to allow for compensation of the vacuum created. 3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.
