User manual WHIRLPOOL PRBIF 290 A INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] Contact the after-sales service to replace LEDs. 9 WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT USED Unplug the appliance from the mains, empty, defrost and clean it. Leave the doors open just enough to allow air to circulate inside both compartments. This will prevent odour and mould from setting in. DURING BLACKOUTS Keep the doors closed to allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible. If the blackout persists, the blackout alarm may sound. FOOD STORAGE It is important to wrap food so that water, moisture, vapour or condensation can't get in, preventing odours or aromas from building up inside the appliance and allowing better storage of frozen food. [. . . ] keeps frozen food (for the period indicated on the package) and freezes The freezer compartment should be defrosted manually. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours (using the "Quick Freeze" function - see Quick Start guide) is shown on the rating plate. To freeze fresh food, place it on the top or highest shelf, leaving enough space around packages to allow air to circulate. Refreezing partially thawed food is not recommended. Do not place food to be frozen beside food that is already frozen. When freezing large quantities of food, a temperature alarm may occur. Removing drawers (depending on model) Pull the drawers all the way out, lift them up a little and remove. Note: to obtain more space, the freezer compartment can also be used without the upper drawers. We recommend leaving the lower drawer in. Check that once all foodstuffs have been replaced on racks/shelves the door closes properly. Making ice cubes Fill the ice cube tray (where provided) 2/3 full and place it in the freezer compartment. Never use sharp or pointed objects to remove it. Note: Ambient air temperature, the frequency of door opening and the position of the appliance can all affect temperatures inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments. We therefore recommend you set the temperature on the basis of these factors. HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT We recommend defrosting the freezer once or twice a year or when excessive frost has formed (3mm thick). The amount of ice which forms and the rate at which it builds up depends on room temperature and humidity, and on how often the door is opened. To defrost, unplug the appliance and remove all foodstuffs. Leave the door ajar to allow frost to melt. Pull the defrost water drain pipe (see figure) out and place a basin underneath it. [. . . ] Press and hold the "Meat & Fish box" button for three seconds until the yellow LED goes out. To optimize energy consumption, we recommend you disable the Meat & Fish box and remove all related components (except for the Fruit and Vegetable crisper lid). Fig. 1 IMPORTANT If the control panel does not show the symbol (see Quick Reference Guide), to guarantee correct appliance operation, adequate food storage conditions and to optimize energy consumption, do not remove the Meat and Fish box. Fig. 2 12 AFTER-SALES SERVICE Before contacting the After-Sales Service: Switch the appliance on again to see if the problem has been solved. [. . . ]
