Whirlpool WSR57R18DM Guide De Démarrage Rapide

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according
to the appliance's Owner's Manual.
The temperature control is located at the front of the freezer compartment.
Temperature Control
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory. When you first install your
freezer, check that the control is still set to the recommended setting as shown.
IMPORTANT:
� The recommended setting is designed to maintain the temperature at or near 37°F (3°C)
under normal operating conditions.
� 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 temperature set point to a colder-than recommended setting will not cool
the refrigerator any faster.
� The preset temperature setting should be correct for normal household usage. The control is
set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like.
� When the refrigerator is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the refrigerator is
cooled. It may take up to 6 or 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and number
of times the refrigerator door is opened. After the refrigerator is cooled, the compressor will
turn on and off as needed to keep the refrigerator at the proper temperature.
� The outside of your refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. The refrigerator's design and
main function is to remove heat from packages and air space inside the refrigerator. The heat
is transferred to the room air, making the outside of the refrigerator feel warm.
ADJUSTING CONTROL
If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator compartment, press Temp Setting to
display the desired temperature setting from the snowflake on the left (least cold) to the
snowflake on the right (coldest).
NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the control more than one setting at a
time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
COOLING ON/OFF
Your refrigerator will not cool when cooling is turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold Temp Setting for 3 seconds. In the off condition, none of the
lights on the control panel will be illuminated. The main freezer light bulb will still operate.
To turn cooling on, press and hold Temp Setting for 3 seconds. When cooling is on, the control
panel lights will be illuminated.
FAST COOL
Use this feature to assist with periods of high refrigerator use, full grocery loads or temporarily
warm room temperature.
To activate Fast Cool, press TEMP SETTING until all the snowflake positions are illuminated
simultaneously.
The refrigerator will remain in the Fast Cool setting for 24 hours after the extra-low temperature is
reached. Once the time has expired, the refrigerator will return to the previous temperature
setting. Fast Cool may be manually turned off by pressing the TEMP SETTING button to select
the desired temperature setting from the snowflake on the left (least cold) to the snowflake on the
right (coldest).
OVER TEMPERATURE ALERT (on some models)
The Over Temperature Alert lets you know if the refrigerator temperature has risen to 54°F (12°C)
or higher. This alert feature will sound a continuous alert tone and repeatedly flash a red light on
the control panel. The tone can be turned off by pressing Temp Setting (Over Temp Reset) on the
control panel once. As you press Temp Setting, the red light will then also change from flashing to
continuously illuminated. The red light will remain illuminated until the refrigerator temperature
falls below 54°F (12°C).
NOTE: If the red light on the control panel is repeatedly flashing, but the alert tone is not
sounding, this means that an over-temperature condition has occurred, but the refrigerator
temperature has since returned to below 54°F (12°C). To turn off the red light indicator for this
condition, press Temp Setting (Over Temp Reset) on the control panel once.
DOOR AJAR ALARM (on some models)
The Door Ajar alarm lets you know when therefrigerator door has been open for 5 minutes or
longer and cooling is turned on. This alarm feature will sound an alert tone that will repeat every 2
minutes. Close the door to turn off the tone. The feature is reset and will reactivate when the door
is again left open for 5 minutes.
NOTE: To mute the alert tone while keeping the door open, such as while cleaning the inside of
the refrigerator, press Temp Setting on the control panel. The alert tone will be turned off
temporarily.
