Initial Start-Up - Fridge; Controlling The Temperature; Ice Box Models (Wim1000 & Wim1200); Making Ice - Westinghouse WRM1400WD User Manual

INITIAL START-UP – FRIDGES
Refrigerator models WRM1400 & WRM2400 have been
fitted with a 'wet wall' evaporator which is positioned
behind the rear liner. The rear liner will, at times be wet
or appear frosted. This is normal and demonstrates that
the refrigerator is functioning correctly. This product is
designed to operate on a power supply of 220/240 volts
50Hz. Connect to a separate power point with a correctly
earthed three pin socket. Do not use double adaptors.
Controlling the temperature in your refrigerator
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food
inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back
and sides of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up)
feel warm – which is normal. Make sure you fully close
the refrigerator door after loading or removing food. If
the door is left partially open, a heavy frost will coat the
inside of the ice box. Ensure shelves are pushed back
completely to prevent them holding the door open.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost or turned off, you
must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If
you attempt to restart the unit before this time delay, the
refrigerator will not start.
When the thermostat is turned to it's lowest setting
and past the point of resistance, the appliance will not
operate.
WARNING
WARNING
Power is still supplied to the appliance.
Condensation caused
by the cooling plate
Turn the control knob clockwise to turn the appliance on.
Rotating clockwise will make the appliance colder.
For all models, 'Less Cold' corresponds to the warmest
temperature while 'Colder' the coldest.
Adjusting the control knobs of WIM1000 amd WIM1200
will adjust the temperature in both the fridge and freezer
compartments.
When the ambient room temperature is 16°C, a setting
of half way between 'Less Cold' and 'Off' recommended.

Starting up and temperature regulation (WRM2400)
• Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug
socket with protective earth contact. When the
refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal
lighting is switched on. After the fridge has been
placed in position, wait for 5 minutes before electricity
is supplied. Don't store anything until the temperature
inside the fridge becomes low enough.
• The temperature selector knob is located on the right of
the refrigerator compartment.
Setting O means: Off.
Clockwise rotate the knob to turn on the appliance.
Setting 1 means:
Highest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting 7 (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Normally we advise you select setting of 2 or 3 Or 4, if
you want the temperature higher or colder please turn
the knob to warmer or colder setting accordingly. When
you turn the knob to colder which can lead to the more
energy efficiency-Otherwise, it would result in more
energy-consuming.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days)
and a cold setting (position 6 to 7) may cause the
compressor to run continuously or even non-stop!
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the
compressor must run continuously to maintain the low
temperature in the appliance
ICE BOX MODELS
(WIM1000 & WIM1200)
NOTE: The ice box compartment of the WIM1000 is
recommended for only making ice, it is not for the
storage of frozen food.

Making ice

To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place
it in the ice box. To remove ice cubes easily, run water
on the tray before gently twisting and inverting the tray.
De-icing
The de-icing system for the fridge compartment is
automatic in models WIM1200, and vertical fridges
WRM1400 and WRM2400. The rear inside of the
fridge is covered with frost when the compressor
operates and de-ices when it stops. When the ice
melts, the water evaporates automatically.
WIM1000 achieves its cooling from the ice box.

De-icing the ice box

The ice box compartment must always be de-iced when
the layer of frost reaches a thickness of about 4mm. This
compartment should be de-iced at least once a year
regardless of the thickness of the frost. Model WIM1000
has the added feature of a drip tray to collect the water.
When de-icing, a scraper or plastic utensil may be used.
Never use metal instruments or electrical appliances to
de-ice the ice box.
1. Switch off and disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply.
2. Remove the plug from the drain (Model WIM1000
diagram below)
3. Place a container underneath the drain hole to
collect the water.
4. To speed up the process, you can place a bowl of hot
water inside the compartment and close the door.
5. When de-icing is complete, clean the appliance
before restoring the power.
