User manual WESTINGHOUSE WCFH 183 BW

[. . . ] If the freezer is sold or given to another user, or if you move and leave the freezer behind, you must ensure that the instructions accompany the freezer to enable the next user to use the freezer correctly and read the relevant warnings. Children must not be allowed to tamper with the control buttons or play with the freezer. Changes in the electrical mains system in connection with the installation of this freezer should always be carried out by an authorised electrician or competent person. Do not under any circumstances attempt to repair the freezer yourself. [. . . ] This will help reduce the amount of CFC gas released into the atmosphere. Help to keep your country tidy - when disposing of an old appliance or a CFC free appliance use an authorised disposal site. 3 INSTALLATION POSITION Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or similar object to compensate for any bumps/holes in the surface. If the room temperature exceeds 32°C, or falls below freezing point, the freezer will not function as it should. Do not place the freezer close to sources of heat, radiators, chimneys, etc. , and do not place the freezer in direct sunlight. If the freezer has been handled standing on end it should be allowed to stand in normal position for about 12 hours before switching it on. Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown. Appliance Description Control Panel 1 2 3 4 temperature regulator green mains operating light fast freeze switch with amber light red temperature warning light Starting up Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: Cleaning and Care). The green mains operating light (2) and red temperature warning light (4) show, and the acoustic temperature warning sounds. The green mains operating light indicates operation and must continuously show. The red temperature warning light tells you that the storage temperature has not yet been attained. If you additionally operate the fast freeze switch (3), the amber pilot light in the switch (3) illuminates, and the refrigerating unit operates in continuous mode. When the fast freeze switch is pressed, the acoustic temperature warnin immediately stops. If you switch off the fast freeze switch (3) when the red temperature warning light (4) has gone out, the amber light goes out. The red temperature warning light (4) and acoustic temperature warning give an alarm if: the storage temperature has not yet been reached (starting up). the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained (fault). 4 INSTALLATION large quantities of fresh food have been placed inside. The red temperature warning light (4) and acoustic temperature warning give no warning: if the power supply is interrupted; if the thermostat is defective. Important: Check regularly on the red temperature warning light and on a thermometer placed inside whether the storage temperature is being maintained. Before freezing food the temperature in the freezer must be -18 °C or colder. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the rating plate. [. . . ] 1 = Lowest setting, minimum cold 7 = Highest setting, maximum cold. Allow the freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside. Do not fill the freezer to higher than 5mm below the lower edge of the plastic frame. This makes it more difficult to inadvertently adjust the temperature (child protection). Since the ambient temperature, type and quantity of stored frozen food, and frequency and duration of lid opening affect the storage temperature of -18 °C or colder, you should check the internal temperature on a thermometer.
