5.1 What To Do For Energy Saving

WHIRLPOOL WHK 26363 XBR5E - What To Do For Energy Saving - 1

Connecting the product to electronic energy-saving systems is harmful, as it may damage the product.

  • This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built in appliance.
  • Do not keep the refrigerator doors open for long periods.
  • Do not place hot food or beverages into the refrigerator.
  • Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the internal air flow will reduce cooling capacity.
  • Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food. Under these circumstances, functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display and so on will operate according to the needs by consuming minimum energy.
    • In case that multiple options are present, glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the rear wall are not blocked

4.5 Hot Surface Warning

The side walls of your product are equipped with cooler pipes to enhance the cooling system. High pressure fluid may flow through these surfaces, and cause hot surfaces on the side walls. This is normal and it does not require servicing. Be careful when you contact these areas.

and preferably, in a way that air outlets remain below the glass shelf. This combination may help improving air distribution and energy efficiency.

7.2 Storing Food in the Cooler Compartment

Storing Food in the Cooler Compartment

  • Compartment temperatures rise prominently if compartment door is opened and closed frequently and kept open for a long time, this can reduce the life span of the food and cause the food to spoil.
  • In order not to cause odour and taste changes, the food should be stored in the closed containers.
  • Do not store too much food in your refrigerator. To achieve a better and homogeneous cooling, place the food separately in a way that cold air can wander through them.

  • Provide air flow by leaving a space between the food and internal wall. If you lean the food against the rear wall, the food may freeze.

  • Bring cooked hot meals to the room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Then, you can place the tepid meal in the lower shelves of your refrigerator. Do not place the tepid meals close to the foods which may easily spoil.
  • Especially pay attention not to mix the foods sold as frozen with the fresh foods.
  • Defrost your frozen food in the fresh food compartment. Thereby, you can cool fresh food compartment by using frozen food and save energy.

  • Storing unripe tropical fruits (mango, melon varieties, papaya, banana, pineapple) in the refrigerator may speed up the ripening process. This is not recommended because it will cause shorter storage time.

  • You should store onions, garlics, gingers and other root vegetables in dark and cold room conditions, not in the refrigerator.
  • If you notice that a food has spoiled in the refrigerator, throw away that food and clean the accessories which have come into contact with it.
  • In order to cool the meals like soups and stews, which are cooked in the large pots, quickly, you can put them in the refrigerator by separating them into their own shallow containers.
  • Do not place unpackaged food close to eggs.

  • Keep the fruits and vegetables separately and store each variety together (for example; apples with apples, carrots with carrots).
    • Take green vegetables out of the plastic bag and place them in the refrigerator after wrapping them in a paper towel or drying cloth. If you wash this type of food before placing them in the refrigerator, remember to dry them.

  • You can both create a damp environment and provide an air flow by keeping fruits and vegetables, which are prone to drying, in the perforated or unsealed plastic bags.
  • Except the cases where extreme circumstances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set values, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product compartment and freezer compartment.

  • Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to a size to be consumed, and frozen in separate packages.
  • It is recommended to pack the foods before placing them in the freezer.

  • In order to prevent expiration of storage time, write the freezing date, time and name of the product on the package according to the storage times of different foods.

  • Consume the foods you have defrosted quickly. Defrosted foods cannot be frozen again unless they are cooked. It is not safe to consume the refrozen fresh foods without cooking after they are defrosted.

- As you freeze fresh foods, do not bring them in contact with already frozen foods. Otherwise, frozen foods will be defrosted.

Storing The Foods, Which Are Sold Frozen

• Always follow the instructions of the producer in relation to the time during which you are required to store your foods. Do not excess the time specified in these instructions!
- In order to protect the quality of the food, keep the time interval between purchasing transaction and storing as short as possible.
- Buy frozen food which are stored at -18^ or lower temperatures.
- Avoid buying foods whose packages are covered with ice etc. This means that the product could be partially defrosted and refrozen. Temperature impacts the quality of the food.

  • Do not excess the storing time recommended by the food producer. Remove only the food as much as you need from the freezer.
  • Except the cases where extreme circumstances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set values, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product compartment and freezer compartment.

Freezer Details

As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4,5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures at 25°C room temperature in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume.

Food products can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18 °C.

You can keep the foods fresh for months (in freezer at or below temperatures of -18°C).

The food products to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting.

Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food items should not be frozen. In case these foods are frozen, only nutritional values and eating qualities will be negatively affected. A rotting that would threaten human health is not in question.

Freezer compartment shelves: Different frozen foods like meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables etc.

Cooler compartment shelves: Food items inside pots, capped plate and capped cases, eggs (in closed case)

Cooler compartment door shelves: Small and packaged food or beverages

Crisper: Vegetables and fruits

Fresh food compartment: Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be consumed in short time)
