Preparing The Appliance For Operation; Temperature Regulation - Whirlpool ADN 140W Manual De Instrucciones

Do not cover the ventilation holes at the top of the appliances – it must be a good air
•
circulation around the appliance. There should be a gap of at least 10 cm between the top of
the appliance body and any furniture that may be above it. If this requirement is not
followed, the appliance consumes more electrical energy and its compressor may overheat.
If the appliance is placed in a corner, a gap of at least 1 cm must be left between the
•
appliance body and the wall (see fig. 2, page 1).

Preparing the appliance for operation:

It is recommended to prepare the appliance for operation with a helper.
The device must only be transported in its vertical position; do not tilt any more than 30°.
•
Remove package. Lift the appliance away from foamed polystyrene base. Therefore take out
•
adhesive tapes from sides and simply lift the appliance up and take out the board. Strip
adhesive tapes off and open the door. Remove the spacer above the door. When placing,
moving, lifting the appliance, do not hold the door handles, do not pull the
condenser at the rear part of the refrigerator and do not touch the compressor unit.
The appliance should not be connected to the mains until all packing and transport
materials aren't removed. Suitably dispose the packaging material.
Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30 minutes before it is connected to the
•
mains.
If the device has been tilted more than 30° during transport, allow it to
stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it is connected to
the mains. If this is not done, the appliance compressor may fail.
THE APPLIANCE BASIC PARTS (see page 1. fig. 1)
1 Thermostat knob
2 Lighting switch
3 LED lighting strip
4 Wire shelves
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled using the thermostat knob 1 (fig.
1) by turning it to one side or the other. The temperature indication in digits is shown beside
the thermostat knob. The numbers "0, 1, 2, 3, 4" do not mean a specific temperatures.
The temperature is regulated on the scale:
0 = Compressor is switched off. WARNING! Electric current is not switched off.
1 = highest temperature (lowest cooling)
5 = lowest temperature (highest cooling)
THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, THE AMOUNT OF FOODSTUFFS, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE
FOODSTUFFS, AND HOW OFTEN THE APPLIANCE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED.
If the room is cool, the appliance cools less. The temperature in the appliance may
therefore rise. Use the thermostat wheel to set a lower temperature.
THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT DEFROSTS AUTOMATICALLY. Drops of ice that form on
the back wall of the refrigerator compartment thaw during the time the compressor is not
