Frequently Asked Questions - KI50SDW KELVINATOR

How do I defrost the refrigerator?

When frost is thick, manually defrost by placing a pan under the evaporator to collect defrost water. Do not use sharp tools or a hair dryer. Use a soft cloth to dry afterwards.

How can I reverse the door opening direction?

The refrigerator comes with the door opening from the left. To reverse, remove the upper hinge cover, upper hinge, door, lower hinge, and left front leg. Transfer the leg to the right side, reverse the lower hinge direction, and reinstall on the left side. Secure the upper hinge on the left top frame. Ensure power is off before starting.

Why is there condensation on the outside of the refrigerator?

Condensation forms when humidity is high, such as during a wet season. This is normal and does not indicate a failure. Wipe dry with a dry cloth.

What should I do if the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently?

Check if food is packed too tightly, blocking cool air flow. Avoid placing hot food inside. Ensure the door is closed properly and the door gaskets are not damaged. Verify there is sufficient clearance around the unit and the thermostat dial is set correctly.

Why does the refrigerator make a sound like water flowing?

This sound is the refrigerant flowing through the system and is normal. It does not indicate a malfunction.

Why are the side panels of the cabinet hot?

The side panels heat up when the door is opened frequently, during initial startup, or in high ambient temperatures. This is due to heat dissipation from inside and is normal. Do not touch the panel.

How should I clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the unit first. Wipe interior and exterior with a wet cloth. For tough dirt, use a neutral detergent, then rinse and dry. Do not use hot water, solvents, petrol, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners. Polish with glass wax on a flannelette cloth.

What should I do if the power cord is damaged?

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer, as special tools are required. Do not attempt to repair yourself.

How do I adjust the thermostat?

The thermostat knob is located at the rear of the refrigerator. Turn it to a lower setting if cooling excessively, or higher if not cooling enough. Wait 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.

What clearance is needed around the refrigerator?

Leave at least 100mm behind and on each side, and at least 200mm above the unit for proper ventilation and heat dissipation.

Well Ventilating

It is necessary of good ventilation around the refrigerator for easy heat dissipation, high efficiency of refrigeration and low power consumption. For this purpose, it is a must to leave enough clear space around the refrigerator. The back is at least 100mm away from the wall, both sides at least have a space of 100mm separately and the height from the top is not less than 200mm. A clear space should be left to open its doors to 160°.

Power Supply

The refrigerator is only applied with power supply of single phase alternating current of (220-240)V\~/50Hz; If fluctuation of voltage in the district is so large that the voltage exceeds the above scope, for safety sake, be sure to apply a.c. automatic voltage regulator to the refrigerator. The refrigerator must employ a special power socket instead of common one with other electric appliances. Its plug must match the socket with ground wire.

iÀiA

Supply Cord

The cord should be neither lengthened nor folded into coil during operation. Moreover, it is forbidden that cord is kept close onto the compressor at the back of the refrigerator, the surface temperature of which is very high during operating. Touching it would deactivate the insulation or cause leakage for electricity.

Protection from Moisture

Do not keep the refrigerator in a place where heavy moisture is ,which can minimize the possibility of rusty for the metal parts. Also, the refrigerator is forbidden to be directly sprayed by water, otherwise, it is easy for poor insulation and current leakage .

5.Maintenance 5.Maintenance

★ The refrigerator should be cleaned and maintained once a month.

When performing maintenance, make absolutely sure that the power plug is first disconnected from the power outlet.

Wipe the inner and outer surface of the refrigerator and its accessories with wet cloth. If they are too dirty, scrub them with neutral detergent, and then clean them with water and dry them with clean cloth. After this, a small quantify of glass wax is recommended to polish the refrigerator surface with a flannelette.

For cleaning, don't use hot water, solvent, petrol, alcohol, kerosene, washing powder, cleanser, aikailinous detergent, acid, Chemical cloth, etc. So as not to damage the lacquer coat and plastics. Do not spray the refrigerator directly with water. Otherwise, it would cause rusty or weaken the insulation.

★ Be careful to upkeep the sealing rubber bars of the doors. They should always be cleaned.

If the plastic parts in refrigerator remain contaminated for a long time by oil (animal or vegetable), they will be easy aged and possibly cracked. The drain pan gets dirty very easily if it is not cleaned regularly, bad odours will be produced, get into the habit of cleaning this pan regularly.

6. Troubleshooting

1. When the refrigerator does not work

Check if there is a power failure.

Check if the power plug is plugged into the power outlet.

Check that the fuse has not blown.

1. When the refrigerator is cooling excessively

The temperature control dial may be set too high.

If you place foodstuffs containing a lot of moisture directly under the cool air outlets, they will freeze easily. This does not indicate a malfunction.

1. When the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently

The food may be packed too tightly together which will block the flow of cool air.

You may have put something hot or a lot of foodstuffs into the refrigerator.

The door may not have been closed properly.

The door gaskets may be damaged.

The refrigerator may not be ventilated.

There may be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and the surfaces

The temperature control dial may not be set properly.

1. When condensation form on the outside of the refrigerator.

Condensation may form on the outside when the humidity is high such as during a wet season. This is the same result as the condensation formed when chilled water is poured into a glass. It does not, therefore, indicate a failure, wipe dry with a dry cloth.

1. When you hear a sound like water flowing.

A sound like water flowing is the refrigerant flowing. It does not indicate a malfunction.

1. When the cabinet's side panel heats up

The side panel of the cabinet will heat up when the door is opened or closed frequently, when starting the unit and when the unit operates in summer with high ambient outside temperature, In such case, do not touch the panel, it results from the dissipation of the heat from inside the cabinet, and it does not mean that something is wrong with the refrigerator.
