User manual WHIRLPOOL HF1220 B INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] • The green LED lights up (if provided). • Also the red LED (if provided) will switch on because the temperature inside the appliance is not yet sufficiently low for food storage. The red LED will normally switch off within the first six hours after the appliance is switched on. • After connecting the appliance to the mains supply and when the optimal temperature has been reached (this phase takes about 1 hour during which the lid will not open), ensure that the fast freeze button is not pressed (the yellow LED, if provided, is off). [. . . ] Observe the expiry date on the packaging. • Always follow the storage instructions on frozen food packages. Note: • Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. • In case of a prolonged power failure: Do not open the appliance door, except to place ice packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and left side of the appliance. This will slow down the rise in temperature. PRECAUTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS • During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable. • Do not store glass containers with liquids inside the product as they may break. • Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the appliance as they may cause cold burns. • Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning, always unplug the appliance or disconnect the power supply. • Do not install the appliance in places exposed to direct sunlight or near heat sources in order to avoid increasing power consumption. For this reason the side and front walls of the product may become hot while the product is running. This is entirely normal and also reduces the risk of condensation forming in particularly critical environmental conditions (see paragraph "Troubleshooting guide"). APPLIANCE DEFROSTING The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of ice on the walls reaches 5-6 mm. • Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. • Remove food from the appliance and put it in a very cool place or a thermally insulated bag. • Remove the internal defrost water drain plug (depending on model) (Fig. • Remove the external defrost water drain plug (depending on model) and reposition it as shown in figure 8. • Use the separator (depending on model) inside the product as a recipient for any remaining water, (D) as shown in fig. If there is no separator, use a shallow container. • Defrosting can be sped up by using a spatula to detach the frost from the appliance walls. • Remove the frost from the bottom of the appliance. [. . . ] • Is the appliance in contact with other furniture or objects that may cause vibrations?• Has the packaging been removed from under the appliance?Note: gurgling noises from the refrigerating circuit after the compressor cuts out are perfectly normal. The green LED (if provided) is off and the appliance is not working. [. . . ]
