FREEZER COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE

It is possible to set a dierent temperature with the “Freezer” button.

Recommended setting:

Freezer compartment: -18°C

FAST FREEZE

putting large quantities of food to freeze in the freezer compartment.

When the function is turned on the icon lights up

The function turns o automatically after 48 hours, or manually by

pressing the “Freezer” button again for 3 seconds.

Note: avoid a direct contact between the fresh food and the food that is

already frozen. To optimise the freezing speed, drawers can be removed

and the food can be placed directly on the bottom of the compartment.

BLACK OUT ALARM

This alarm is triggered in the event of a prolonged power

outage that has caused the temperature inside the freezer

compartment to rise. The red indicator light ashes

and an acoustic

signal is triggered, which will remain active until the door is closed.

The freezer compartment temperature indicators may ash. To turn

the sound signal o, press the “Turn o alarm” button

. If the

freezer compartment has not yet reached the temperature for the

optimal preservation of the food items, the temperature alarm may be

triggered (see temperature alarm). Check the food before consuming it.

ECO NIGHT FUNCTION ECO NIGHT

Eco Night function allows one to concentrate the energy

consumption of the product during o-peak time (usually coinciding

with night time), when energy is available in large quantity and it costs

less than during the day (only in specic countries –using multiple-rate

system based on o-peak times- check your rate plan with your utility

company). To activate the function, press the button Eco Night at the

reduced rate start time (depending on the specic rates plan). For

example, if the reduced rate applies starting at 10:00 p.m., press the

button that corresponds to that time. When the LED is ON, the function

is active. After you activate the function, the product automatically

starts to adapt the energy consumption to the time (i.e. Consuming

more energy during the night then during the day).

Important: In order to work properly, the function must be enabled

both during the night and during the day. The function will remain

enabled until deactivated (it will also be deactivated in the event of a

blackout, or whenever the appliance is turned o). To deactivate the

function, press the button again. When the LED is OFF, the function is

not active.

Note: the power consumption of the appliance is declared with the Eco

night function disabled.

FREEZE CONTROL

”Freeze Control” is an advanced technology that reduces

temperature uctuations in the whole freezer compartment to

minimum, thanks to an innovative air system, totally independent from

the fridge. Freeze burns are reduced up to 50% and food preserves its

original quality and color. To activate/deactivate the “Freeze Control”

function press for 3 seconds the “Eco Night” button

. The function

works properly in a dened range of temperature: between -22°C and

-24°C. When the function is engaged and the current temperature in

the freezer is set to the warmer set point than -22°C, the temperature is

automatically set to -22°C to match the working range. If the function

is engaged and the user modify the freezer temperature out of the

working range, the function is automatically switched o. In case of

“Fast freeze” is engaged, the function “Freeze control” is inhibited until

the “Fast Freeze” function switched o.

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

If I want my freezer to be colder, should I choose for a higher or lower setting? Verified

With most freezers a higher setting means the machine will cool harder. With a lower setting, the machine will cool less hard and the temperature in the freezer will be higher.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.

What does NoFrost mean? Verified

Freezers that have NoFrost technology can keep the air in the freezer dry, resulting in less ice forming inside.

What does '6th Sense' mean? Verified

Whirlpool appliances that are equipped with 6th Sense technology have sensors that ensure optimal operation of the machine. For example in dryers, these sensors measure the moisture left in the wash and stops the machine when everything is completely dry.

I bought a new freezer, can I turn it on immediately? Verified

No, the freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

Yes, nearly all standing freezers offer the option to place the door on the other side. How to do this can generally be found in the manual.

How long does it take for my freezer to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the freezer. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the freezer to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the freezer.

De door of my freezer will not close properly, why is that? Verified

The two most common causes are that the freezer is not level and that the door seal is damaged or has food remains on it. Make sure the freezer is level and check the door seal. Replace the seal if neccesary.
