Electrical Connection And Operation; Adjustment Of The Temperature; Use Of The Freezer Compartment - Whirlpool AFB 828 Instructions For Use Manual

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND OPERATION

Please check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate situated inside the
compartment corresponds to the voltage in your home. The earthing of this
appliace is compulsory by law. The manufacturer will accept no liability
for injury to persons or damage to objects arising from the non
observance of this requirement.
When the appliance is plugged in, if the thermostat knob is not set to symbol
•, the green and the red lamps (1) and (2) (Fig. 1) light up and the
temperature acoustic alarm sounds. The green control light always remains
alight and indicates the operation of the appliance. The red control light remains alight until the set
operation temperature has been attained. It lights up again when the temperature inside the freezer rises
due to frequent or prolonged door opening, and when the appliance has been loaded with fresh food to
be frozen. In this case, switch on the fast freeze facility until the red control light goes off. The acoustic
signal indicates that the red control light is alight. It stops when the red control light goes off or when the
fast freeze facility is switched on (yellow control light on).

ADJUSTMENT OF THE TEMPERATURE

The thermostat (Fig. 1) controls the temperature inside the appliance. Position • indicates that the
operation of appliance is interrupted. The ideal storage temperature of frozen food for a long time is -
18°C. In normal ambient conditions (temperature between +20°C and +25°C), we suggest you adjust the
thermostat control knob to a middle position. To obtain colder or warmer temperatures than -18°C, turn
the thermostat control knob to the highest or lowest setting respectively. We remind you that internal
temperatures are affected by the location of the appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, the
frequency of the door opening. The setting of the thermostat may have to be varied to allow for these
factors. To check the temperature of the food stored, place the thermometer (if delivered) under the
food; if it is placed on the food it will indicate the temperature of the air which does not correspond to
that of the food stored.

USE OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

This appliance is equipped with an acoustic alarm which sounds when the door is left open. In case of
prolonged door opening, to stop the alarm pull switch (6) (Fig.1).
