What's New Behind The Doors; Operating Your Refrigerator - Whirlpool WRX986SIH Guide D'utilisation

What's New Behind the Doors?

Your French Door Refrigerator comes equipped with innovative storage and energy efficient features.
Energy and Normal Operating Sounds
Your new refrigerator has been designed to optimize energy efficiency,
and better regulate temperatures to match cooling demand. It is normal
for the high efficiency compressor to run for extended periods of time at
varying speeds. In addition, during various stages of the cooling cycle,
you may hear normal operating sounds that are unfamiliar to you.
Using the Temperature Controls
IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel will
turn off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the control buttons
and dispenser pads have not been used for 2 minutes or more. Press
any control button to reactivate the display screen.
IMPORTANT:
Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add
food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may
spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than recommended
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked
before adjusting the controls.
The recommended settings should be correct for normal household
use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as
you like and when ice cream is firm.

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.
Dual Evaporator (on some models)
The refrigerator and freezer compartments have dedicated
evaporators to provide fresh and frozen foods with separate
climates. Frozen food stays cold and dry, while fresh food
remains at the ideal temperature and humidity.
Recommended Refrigerator Temperature
Adjusting the Temperature
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset
at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still set to the recommended settings. The factory
recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F
(-18°C) for the freezer.
Refrigerator set point range: 33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C).
Freezer set point range: -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to -15°C).
IMPORTANT: Adjust the temperature by only 1° at a time and wait at
least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before
other adjustments are made.
1. Press and hold TEMPERATURE for 3 seconds.
2. Select the zone by pressing TEMPERATURE (Refrigerator/
Freezer).
3. Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press OPTIONS to lower the
set point.
4. Press MEASURED FILL to save the settings (confirm).
