Maintenance And Cleaning - Whirlpool AFB 828 Instructions For Use Manual

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

A periodic and proper maintenance will ensure a longer life to your appliance. Disconnect the appliance
from the mains supply before any intervention. Clean periodically the appliance with a solution of water
and vinegar. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive or detergents. Clean periodically the door
gasket with water and dry carefully. Avoid soiling the door gasket with oil or other grease which could
damage it. After cleaning, reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.
HINTS FOR HOLIDAYS
If you plan to be away for a long time, disconnect the appliance from the mains, empty and clean the
inside. Leave the door open to prevent the appliance from smelling musty. If you plan to be away for a
short time, let the appliance operate normally.
SERVICE
The incorrect operation of the appliance is not always due to a fault but it may also result from poor
installation or usage. To prevent unnecessary service calls for which you will be charged, we suggest you
consult this trouble-shooting guide.
1. If the red light is on continuously or flashing, the internal temperature is too high. Check that:
• the door is not properly shut;
• the thermostat control knob is correctly set (see chapter "Adjustment of the temperature");
• the freezer is not near a source of heat;
• there is a large build up of frost on the inner walls;
• the air flow is not restricted.
If your appliance is fitted with a drawer situated on the bottom left hand side (Fig. 11), we suggest you
remove it and you clean the inside with a soft brush.
2. If the compressor functions continuously. Check that:
• the fast freeze switch is turned off;
• the ambient temperature is too warm;
• the door is not being opened too frequently.
3. The appliance is excessively noisy. Check that:
• the appliance is level.
4. The appliance does not operate. Check that:
• the thermostat control knob is not set to position •;
• there is not a power failure;
• the plug is making good contact with the supply socket;
• any automatic circuit breakers have tripped or any fuses blown;
• the supply cable is intact (see also Note).
Note: When replacing a damaged supply cord, be sure the new
cord is correctly clamped. If you have followed this trouble
shooting guide and your freezer still does not work properly,
get in touch with your Retailer or Service Agent. State clearly
what is wrong and the type and serial number of your freezer.
