Frequently Asked Questions - KR30914AW GORENJE

What is the correct temperature for the fridge and freezer compartments?

For optimal food preservation, set the fridge temperature between +2°C and +8°C (recommended +4°C) and the freezer temperature at -18°C or lower. Use the electronic control panel to adjust.

How do I install the fridge?

Place the fridge on a level, stable surface away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Allow at least 5 cm clearance around the sides and back for ventilation. Connect to a properly grounded power outlet (220-240 V).

Why is my fridge making unusual noises?

Some noises are normal: gurgling from refrigerant flow, clicking from the thermostat, or humming from the compressor. If the noise is loud or constant, check that the fridge is level and not touching walls or cabinets. Contact service if persists.

How often should I clean the condenser coils?

Clean the condenser coils at least once a year to maintain efficiency. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Disconnect power before cleaning. Coils are located at the back or bottom of the fridge.

What does the door alarm do?

The door alarm sounds if the fridge or freezer door is left open for more than 60 seconds. This prevents food spoilage and energy waste. Close the door to stop the alarm.

Can I change the door opening direction?

Yes, the KR30914AW allows reversible door hinges. Refer to the manual for detailed step-by-step instructions and recommended tools. You may need assistance due to door weight.

How to defrost the freezer?

This model features NoFrost technology, so no manual defrosting is needed. The system automatically prevents ice buildup. However, if frost forms due to excessive door openings, activate the 'Fast Freeze' function and remove excess items.

What should I do if the fridge is not cooling?

Check the power supply and ensure the socket is working. Verify the temperature settings are not too high. Clean the condenser coils if dusty. Ensure doors are sealing properly. If issue persists, contact Gorenje service.

- There may be an odor when you first switch on the appliance. It will disappear after the appliance starts to cool.

PART 2: THE VARIOUS FUNCTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES

Thermostat Setting

- The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.

- The “0” position indicates that the thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.

- For short-term storage of food in the refrigerator, you can set the knob between the minimum and medium position (1-3).

- For long-term storage of food in the refrigerator, you can set the knob to the medium position (3-4).

Note that the ambient temperature, the temperature of freshly stored food, and how often the door is opened affect the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required, change the temperature setting.

- When you first switch on the appliance, for suitable cooling, the appliance should work continuously for 24 hours until it cools down to a sufficient temperature.

- During this time, do not open the door too often and do not place a lot of food inside the appliance.

- If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting or re-plugging the unit in order not to damage the compressor.

- Larders (coolers) do not have a freezer compartment but can cool up to 4-6°C.

PART 3: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in the washing machine.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed, reconnect the plug of the unit with dry hands.
• You should clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year in order to provide energy saving and increase the productivity.

Defrosting

For cooler compartment:

• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation; the defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
• You can also pour 1/2 glass of water into the drain hole to clean inside.

Replacing The Light Bulb

When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment:

1. Unplug the unit from the power supply.
2. Press the hooks on the sides of the light cover top and remove the light cover.

• In transportation the appliance should be tied with a wide stripe or a strong rope. The rules written on the corrugated box must be applied while transporting.
• Before transporting or changing old installation position, all the moving objects (ie, shelves, crisper...) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent the shake.

Changing of Door Opening Direction (for some models)

In case you need to change door-opening direction, please consult the domestic after sales service.

PART-5. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following, before calling an electrician to save time and money.

What to do if your refrigerator does not operate ;

Check that ;

• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is not disconnected,
• The thermostat setting is on the “0” position.
• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working into the same socket.

What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly:

Check that:

• You have not overloaded the appliance, • The doors are closed perfectly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.

If there is noise:

The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite normal. If these sounds are different, check that:

• The appliance is well leveled, - Nothing is touching the rear, - The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator:

Check that:

The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (Use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).

If your fridge is not cooling enough:

Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

Climate Class	Ambient Temperature (°C)
T Between 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
N Between 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)

Recommendations

• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the « cooling section » of refrigerators is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is running, this wall is covered with frost or water drops, according to whether the compressor is running or not. Do not worry. This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively thick layer forms on the wall.
• If the appliance is not used for a long time (for example during the summer holidays), set the thermostat knob to the « 0 » position. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
