Q: Should I keep or remove the plastic cover above the compressor of the PKM GK212 SI refrigerator?

The plastic cover should remain in place. This protection is factory-installed by PKM and serves several essential functions: Protection of the compressor against dust and dirt Thermal insulation to reduce heat loss Safety: prevents accidental contact with hot or moving parts of the motor You should not remove anything. However, please ensure that the appliance has a minimum of 50 mm of free space around the compressor (especially at the back and on the sides) for proper ventilation. Do not embed your refrigerator too close to a wall. Before the first connection, observe a resting period of 4 to 6 hours if the transport was done in a lying position, to allow the compressor to stabilize its operation.

Q: Does the oven turn off automatically after 15 minutes of use, is this normal?

No, the PKM GH6-90B5D does not have an automatic shut-off function after 15 minutes according to the documented specifications. This feature is not a standard characteristic of the model. If your oven turns off after 15 minutes of use, it may indicate: A malfunction of the appliance requiring servicing A confusion with a separately programmed timer A problem with the thermostat or thermal safety that cuts off the power To manually turn off your oven, use the control buttons : turn the function selector to OFF and the temperature selector to OFF. If this behavior persists, we recommend contacting PKM customer service to have your appliance diagnosed, as it does not correspond to the normal operation of the GH6-90B5D.
