Overview

This document is a user manual for Westinghouse refrigerators, covering Top Mount, Bottom Mount, French Door, and Single Door models. It provides essential information for installation, operation, and maintenance of the appliance, along with important safety instructions.

Function Description

The Westinghouse refrigerator is designed for domestic use, offering various configurations to suit different household needs. Its primary function is to preserve food by maintaining optimal temperatures in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The appliance utilizes a high-speed compressor and energy-efficient components to circulate cold air, ensuring efficient cooling and frost-free operation.

Different models come with specific features tailored to their design:

  • Top Mount Refrigerators: These models feature a freezer compartment located above the fresh food compartment. They include an adjustable freezer bin divider, a FamilySafe lockable compartment, FlexStor door bins, a door storage bin, and a bottle storage bin with fingers. Temperature control for both compartments is managed via a dedicated control panel.
  • Bottom Mount Refrigerators: In these models, the freezer is located below the fresh food compartment. They offer a bottle rack (on selected models), a FlexFresh crisper, a pull-out shelf, and a crisper divider. Some bottom mount models also integrate an automatic ice maker and water dispenser. The control panel allows for temperature adjustments and activation of special functions like Quick Freeze.
  • French Door Refrigerators: These models typically feature two doors for the fresh food compartment and a bottom freezer drawer. They include similar features to bottom mount models, such as a bottle rack, FlexFresh crisper, crisper divider, and often an automatic ice maker and water dispenser. The control panel provides comprehensive control over both refrigerator and freezer temperatures, as well as specialized modes.
  • Single Door Refrigerators: These are simpler models, often with a single door for the fresh food compartment and a separate freezer compartment (either top or bottom, depending on the specific single door model). They include features like a deli drawer, FlexFresh crisper, crisper divider, and FamilySafe lockable compartment. The control panel allows for temperature adjustments and quick chill functions.
  • Single Door Freezers: These dedicated freezer units are designed for extended frozen food storage. They feature storage bins and a Twist & Serve ice maker. The freezer control panel allows for temperature adjustments and quick freeze functions.

Usage Features

The refrigerator offers several features to enhance convenience and food preservation:

  • Temperature Control: Users can adjust the temperature settings for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments using the control panel. Default settings are provided, and users are advised to make small adjustments and wait 24 hours to observe the effect.
  • Quick Chill/Quick Freeze: These functions allow for rapid cooling or freezing of a large amount of food. When activated, the appliance runs at a lower temperature for a set period (e.g., 90 minutes for Quick Chill/Freeze) before returning to normal mode.
  • FlexFresh Crisper: This crisper drawer allows users to store vegetables, fruit, or small goods. A humidity control slider enables adjustment of humidity levels, with less humid conditions recommended for fruit and more humid for vegetables.
  • Deli Drawer: Available in some models, this drawer is ideal for storing small goods, fresh or cooked meat, and cheese. It helps prevent strong food odors from affecting other items in the refrigerator.
  • SpillSafeā„¢ Glass Shelves: These shelves are designed to improve visibility and contain spills, preventing them from dripping onto lower shelves.
  • FlexStor Door Bins: These adjustable door bins can be slid to different positions to accommodate various storage needs.
  • FamilySafe Lockable Compartment: This secure compartment can be used to store dairy products, cosmetics, or medicines, and can be locked for added security.
  • Twist & Serve Ice Maker: Available in some models, this feature allows for easy production and dispensing of ice cubes.
  • Automatic Ice Maker and Water Dispenser: Integrated into some bottom mount and French door models, these features provide on-demand ice and filtered water. The ice cube size can also be adjusted.
  • Drinks Chill: This function sets a timer (between 1 and 30 minutes) to remind users when drinks placed in the freezer for quick chilling are ready.
  • Holiday Mode: Designed to save energy during extended periods of non-use, this mode minimizes defrosting when doors remain closed.
  • Sabbath Mode: This feature disables all lights and electrical activity when the refrigerator door is opened, useful for observing religious practices.
  • Display Lock: This function deactivates the user interface controls to prevent accidental changes.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the refrigerator:

  • Cleaning: The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning the doors, exterior (including stainless steel), interior, and door seals. It emphasizes using lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth, and avoiding abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the appliance.
  • Water Filter Replacement: For models with water dispensers and ice makers, the water filter should be changed every six months to ensure high-quality water. The manual outlines a step-by-step process for replacing the filter and resetting the filter replacement timer.
  • Crisper Bin and Shelf Removal: Instructions are provided for safely removing crisper bins, telescopic slides, and glass shelves for cleaning.
  • Ice Bin Cleaning: The ice bin should be removed and cleaned monthly, and unused ice cubes discarded to ensure fresh, clean ice and smooth operation of the ice maker.
  • Defrosting: The refrigerator is frost-free, meaning manual defrosting is not typically required. However, if heavy frost occurs due to an accidentally left-open freezer door, it should be removed.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to help users diagnose and resolve common issues related to temperature, noise, door operation, and ice/water system problems.
  • Switching Off for Extended Periods: If the refrigerator is to be switched off for a long time, users are advised to remove all food, unplug the appliance, clean and dry the interior thoroughly, and wedge the doors open slightly to prevent mold.
