Whirlpool ADN140 Instruction Manual page 7

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.
If the appliance is brought in from the cold (temperature is not higher than +12
°C), you should wait for two hours before connecting it to the mains.
The appliance should not be connected to the mains until all packing and
transport materials aren't removed. Suitably dispose the packaging material.
Positioning
Place the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
•
WARNING! The appliance should not be operated in an unheated room or
porch. Place the appliance away from heat sources such as kitchen
stove/oven, radiators, or direct sunlight.
WARNING! The appliance must not touch any pipes for heating, gas or
water supply or any other electrical devices.
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).
The appliance must stand on a level surface and must not touch the wall.
•
necessary, regulate the height of the appliance by adjusting the levelling feet: by
turning them clockwise – the front of the appliance rises, by turning them counter
clockwise – it comes down. If the appliance is tilted slightly backward – the doors will
close by themselves.
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 working and the thaw water runs down the thaw water runoff
channel to the tray on top of the compressor, where it evaporates.
REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
Remember that before cleaning the back part of the appliance body
you must disconnect the appliance from the electrical energy supply
socket by pulling the plug out of the electricity outlet.
Protect the appliance inner surfaces and plastic parts from fats,
•
acids and sauces. In case of accidental spills – immediately clean
with warm soapy water or dishwashing detergent. Wipe dry inner
and outer surfaces.
Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.
•
REGULARLY CLEAN THE THAW WATER CHANNEL SPACE WITH A
•
SPECIAL CLEANER FOR THAT PURPOSE (see fig.).
