Whirlpool WBC 9BC11R Instructions For Use Manual page 15

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator,
Check if:
• The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole).
• If your fridge is not cooling sufficiently:
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the
standards, according to the climate class stated on the information label. We do not
recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits. This will reduce
the cooling efficiency of the fridge.
Recommendations
• Unplug the refrigerator during a power cut in order to prevent any damage to the
compressor. Wait 5-10 minutes before plugging the appliance in once power returns.
• If you unplug your refrigerator for any reason, wait al least 5 minutes before plugging it
in. This will avoid damage to the refrigerator's components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden at the rear of the appliance. Therefore,
water droplets or icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation
of the compressor at specified intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a
defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long period of time (e.g. in summer holidays),
put the thermostat to "•" position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door
open to prevent humidity and smells.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use and can only be used
for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial use. If the consumer uses the
appliance in a way that does not comply with this, we emphasise that the manufacturer
and dealer will not be responsible for any repair or failure within the guarantee period.
Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not
near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. W hen thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature
of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This
will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.
4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks
and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently
as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily
often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc ) closed
7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
