Frequently Asked Questions - RF160 Khind

How do I adjust the temperature on my Khind RF160 refrigerator?

Turn the thermostat dial inside the fridge. A higher number (e.g., 5) means colder, while a lower number (e.g., 1) is warmer. Start at 3 and adjust based on your needs.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling properly?

Check if the door is sealed properly, the thermostat is set correctly, and the condenser coils (at the back) are clean. Also ensure the fridge is not overloaded and has enough ventilation.

How do I defrost the Khind RF160?

Unplug the fridge, remove all food and shelves. Leave the door open to allow ice to melt. Do not use sharp tools to scrape ice. Wipe dry before restarting.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the manual for step-by-step instructions. You will need a screwdriver and possibly help from another person.

What is the correct way to clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the fridge. Remove all shelves and drawers. Wash them with warm soapy water. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly before reassembling.

Why is water pooling at the bottom of the fridge?

This is usually due to a clogged defrost drain. Clean the drain hole (located at the back of the fridge interior) using a pipe cleaner or soft wire. Also check if the drip tray is properly positioned.

What should I do if the refrigerator is making loud noises?

Ensure the fridge is level on the floor. Check that the back of the fridge is not touching the wall. Noise can also come from the compressor; if it persists, contact customer service.

How often should I clean the condenser coils?

Clean the coils every 6 months using a vacuum cleaner or brush to remove dust. This helps maintain efficient cooling and prolongs the life of the refrigerator.

What type of light bulb does the Khind RF160 use?

The interior uses an incandescent bulb (usually E14 screw base, 10-15W). Always unplug the fridge before replacing the bulb. Use a bulb of the same type and wattage.

How long should I wait before plugging in the fridge after moving it?

Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 4 hours after transport. This lets the oil settle back into the compressor to prevent damage. Then plug it in and wait 2-3 hours before placing food inside.

How to Use

Installation

1. This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving.
2. When you transport the appliance, the angle between the compartment body and the ground should not be less than 45°.
   WARNING: Never put the appliance upside down.
3. Once the appliance has landed properly on a flat and stable surface, remove all the packing material including any plastic packaging material in the appliance.

4. The back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation.

5. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 liter of water). Do not use soap, detergent or any abrasive cleaner to wash. Dry the appliance thoroughly after cleaning.

6. Open the fridge door for ventilation of internal compartments. Idle for 4 hours before connecting the electrical mains to ensure the refrigerant in the compressor has settled well.

7. Connect the electrical mains and switch on the power for 4 hours initially before adding any goods. Make sure the ground is solid and will not vibrate when the appliance is operating.

8. If these temperatures are exceeded i.e., colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. Should the ambient temperatures be exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18°C and food spoilage may occur.

9. This appliance has to manually defrost and frosting will occur as normal. It is advisable to manually defrost the appliance when the frosting is at 5mm thick.

Operating

1. The thermostat control situated in the appliance regulates the temperature. Position "0" - OFF
   Position "1-5"-1 is the warmest setting and 5 is coldest setting.
   NOTE: Do not leave the appliance to run at position "5" for prolonged period as this will damage the compressor and the food inside the freezer.
2. Regulate the thermostat to '3' to check on the operation before switching to higher cooling level.

NOTE: The optimum cooling level is position "3" or "4" (to avoid over cooling and damaged to the compressor).

1. Check the temperature after 4 hours. If the cooling has reached to acceptable level, you may start using the appliance.

2. The temperature will be affected by:

-room temperature

how often the door is opened

how much food is stored.

1. In determining the correct temperature control setting, all the above factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be required.

2. Always store the hot food after it is completely cold. Never store hot items into the appliance.

3. Always pack the food completely before putting into the appliance to avoid taste mixing and frosting together.

4. If there is an electricity cut-off, please wait 10 minutes before operating the appliance again to avoid to the compressor.

How to Use

Defrosting

1. Getting the air into the appliance may from a layer of frost inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when the frost is thick. When it is more than 5mm thick, you should defrost the appliance.
2. Wrap the food and keep them in a cool place.
3. Press the defrost button for an immediate cut off the cooling system. Water from the melting ice will be contained in the drain pan. When the defrosting process has completed, the cooling system will automatically restart.
4. The water from defrosting process will flow into the drain pan at the rear of the appliance and will automatically evaporate overtime.
5. Speed up the defrosting process by putting bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the appliance.
6. The appliance should be defrosted once every one month depending on the usage.
7. If the appliance door was opened frequently or using the appliance in high humidity area, we advise the user to defrost once every two weeks.
