Frequently Asked Questions - GKN17928FW GRUNDIG

How do I set the temperature on my Grundig GKN17928FW fridge?
Use the electronic control panel located inside the fridge. Press the Fridge or Freezer button repeatedly to cycle through temperature settings. The recommended fridge temperature is 4°C and freezer -18°C.
Why is my fridge making a buzzing noise?
A low humming sound is normal from the compressor. If the noise is loud or irregular, ensure the fridge is level and not touching walls. If persists, contact Grundig service.
How do I reverse the door on my Grundig fridge?
Door reversal is possible. Unscrew the hinge brackets, transfer the door handles and hinges to the opposite side. Refer to the user manual for exact steps.
How often should I defrost the freezer?
This model has NoFrost technology, so manual defrosting is not required. However, clean the interior periodically.
What does the 'Eco' mode do?
Eco mode optimizes cooling to save energy. It adjusts the thermostat to a slightly higher but still safe temperature for food storage.
How do I change the bulb in my fridge?
This model uses LED lighting which is not user-replaceable. If it fails, contact Grundig service.
Why is water pooling inside my fridge?
Check if the drain hole at the back is clogged. Clean it with a pipe cleaner or warm water. Also ensure the door is properly closed.
Can I store hot food in the fridge?
Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge to avoid raising the internal temperature and excessive energy use.
How do I clean the condenser coils?
The condenser coils are located at the back. Use a vacuum cleaner or a brush to remove dust. Clean every 6-12 months to maintain efficiency.
What should I do if the fridge door doesn't close properly?
Check if shelves or food items are blocking the door. Ensure the fridge is level. Adjust the feet if needed. If the gasket is damaged, replace it via Grundig service.

4.1 Things to be done for energy saving

GRUNDIG GKN17928FW - Things to be done for energy saving - 1

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

  • 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.
  • In order to store the maximum amount of food into the cooler compartment of your refrigerator, you should take out the upper drawers and place it onto the glass rack. The declared energy consumption of your refrigerator was determined by taking out the cooler, ice tray and upper drawers in a way that will enable maximum storage. Using the below drawer when storing is strongly recommended. Energy saving function should be activated for best energy consumption.

- You should not block the airflow by putting food in front of the cooler fan. A space of minimum 3cm must be left in front of the protective fan wire when placing food.

- Depending on the product's features; defrosting frozen foods in the cooler compartment will ensure energy saving and preserve food quality.

- Food should be stored using the drawers in the cooler compartment in order to ensure energy saving and protect food in better conditions.

- Food packages should not be in direct contact with the heat sensor located in the cooler compartment. If they are in contact with the sensor, energy consumption of the appliance might increase.

- Make sure the foods are not in contact with the cooler compartment temperature sensor described below.

GRUNDIG GKN17928FW - Maintenance and cleaning - 1

WARNING: Unplug the product before cleaning it.

  • Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
  • Never use any sharp and abrasive tools, soap, household cleaners, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
  • Dissolve one teaspoon of carbonate in half litre of water. Soak a cloth with the solution and wrung it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator with this cloth and the dry thoroughly.
  • Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.
  • If you will not use the refrigerator for a long period of time, unplug it, remove all food inside, clean it and leave the door ajar.
  • Check regularly that the door gaskets are clean. If not, clean them.
  • To remove door and body shelves, remove all of its contents.
  • Remove the door shelves by pulling them up. After cleaning, slide them from top to bottom to install.
  • Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to

clean the outer surfaces and chromium coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal surfaces

  • Do not use sharp, abrasive tools, soap, household cleaning agents, detergents, kerosene, fuel oil, varnish etc. to prevent removal and deformation of the prints on the plastic part. Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth for cleaning and then wipe it dry.

6.1 Avoiding bad odours

Materials that may cause odour are not used in the production of our refrigerators. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the refrigerator as required can bring forth the problem of odour. Pay attention to following to avoid this problem:

  • Keeping the refrigerator clean is important. Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odour. Therefore, clean the refrigerator with carbonate dissolved in water every 15 days. Never use detergents or soap.
  • Keep the food in closed containers. Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odours.
  • Never keep the food that have expired best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.

6.2 Protecting the plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.

6.3 Door Glasses

Remove the protective foil on the glasses.

There is a coating on the surface of the glasses. This coating minimizes the stain build-up and helps to remove the possible stains and dirt easily. Glasses that are not protected with such a coating may be subject to persistent binding of air or water based organic or inorganic dirt such as limescale, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides and silicones that can easily and quickly cause stains or material damage. Keeping the glass clean becomes too difficult despite the regular cleaning. Consequently, the appearance and the transparency of the glass deteriorates. Harsh and corrosive cleaning methods and compounds will intensify these defects and speed up the deterioration process.

Water-based cleaning products that are not alkaline and corrosive must be used for regular cleaning purposes.

Non-alkaline and non-corrosive materials must be used for cleaning so that the service life of this coating lasts for a long time.

These glasses are tempered to increase their durability against impacts and breaking.

A safety film is also applied to their rear surfaces as an extra safety measure in order to prevent them from causing damage to their surrounding in case of a breakage.

*Alkali is a base that forms hydroxide ions (OH ^- ) when it is dissolved in water.

Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (Potassium) Rb (Rubidium), Cs (Cesium) and artificial and radioactive Fr (Fan-sium) metals are called ALKALI METALS.
