User manual WHIRLPOOL KSN 538 A IL INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] Should the power failure last more than 12 hours, remove all food from the product and store it in a suitable appliance. APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Clean the appliance regularly using a new cloth and a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent specific for cleaning inside refrigerators. Clean the condenser using a vacuum cleaner, after removing the front plinth (see Installation manual). The buttons and control panel display (in some models, located on the freezer door) must not be cleaned with alcohol or alcohol-derived substances, but with a dry cloth. Replacing the bulbs Important: • Always disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply before replacing any light bulbs. [. . . ] If the water/ice dispenser is only used ccasionally or has been left unused for some time with the appliance switched on, the circuit will need to be cleaned and the first 2 litres of water drawn off and the first ice produced thrown away. Repeat this procedure when the product is reconnected to the power supply after prolonged disuse. The anti-condensation devices can be disabled by pressing the switch shown in the figure on the right (switch in position OFF). This allows you to optimise energy consumption. If there is condensation in the ice/water dispenser area or on the door, reactivate the anti-condensation devices (switch in position ON). 11 USING THE AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (if installed) After switching on the refrigerator, it usually takes a full night for the first ice cubes to form. When selecting crushed ice (on some models only - see the Quick Start Guide), the cubes are crushed just before being dispensed, therefore the crushed ice may come out with a slight delay. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed ice to ice cubes, a small amount of crushed ice may come out together with the first cubes. The quantity and size of the ice cubes depend on the mains water pressure. Ice cubes production can be increased by decreasing the freezer compartment temperature setting. VERSION WITH ICE TRAY Normal ice production is 7 to 8 batches of ice cubes over a 24 hour period. Large amounts of ice cubes should be taken directly from the bucket, and not from the dispenser. It is recommended that the drawer is closed after completing the operation. VERSION WITH ICE MAKER IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT AND ICE BUCKET ON THE DOOR Normal ice production is 12 to 14 batches of ice cubes over a 24 hour period. To remove and refit the ice bucket Insert your fingers in the opening at the bottom of the container, pull the lever and lift and extract the container (see figure 1). On some models, you need to insert your fingers into the opening at the bottom of the container and place your thumb on the release button (see figure 2) to remove the container. Hold the base of the bucket with both hands, press the release button and lift the bucket up and out. To re-insert the ice bucket, place it onto its support attached to the inner door and figure 1 lower into position. figure 2 Note: If you need a large amount of ice cubes, take them directly from the bucket and not from the dispenser. VERSION WITH ICE MAKER AND BUCKET ON THE FREEZER DOOR With the door closed, normal ice production is 6 to 7 batches of ice cubes over a 24 hour period. Ice cube production depends to a large extent on how often the door is opened, the amount of fresh food placed in the freezer compartment, the ambient temperature and the temperature set. If the ice maker has not been used for a long time, it will take a full night for the first ice cubes to form. Removing and refitting the ice bucket Insert your fingers into the opening at the bottom of the ice bucket, pull the lever then lift and extract the bucket (see figure 3). [. . . ] Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old cartridge. Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge. With the cartridge cap in the vertical position, insert the new filter cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal position. [. . . ]
