Frequently Asked Questions - KF1385LFVF Cylinda

How do I adjust the temperature on my Cylinda KF1385LFVF fridge?

Turn the thermostat knob inside the fridge compartment. Position 1-2 for short-term storage, 3-4 for long-term storage, and 5 for freezing fresh food. Allow 24 hours to stabilize after adjustment. Do not set beyond position 1 as it stops the appliance.

Why is my fridge making loud noises?

Normal noises include cracking during defrosting, compressor hum, bubbling from refrigerant flow, and air blow (if fan). If excessive, check that the fridge is level, nothing is touching the rear, and shelves/dishes are secure. Noises typically decrease once target temperature is reached.

How do I defrost the freezer compartment?

Defrost when frost exceeds 5 mm. Unplug the fridge, remove frozen food (wrap in newspaper to keep cool), place bowls of warm water inside to speed up melting. Do not use sharp objects. Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

If your model has handles attached to the front, door reversal is not possible. For handleless models, it is possible. Contact an authorized service agent to perform the change.

How do I clean my refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance. Use a solution of lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (1 tsp per litre) to clean interior and exterior. Rinse with clean water and dry. Clean the condenser with a broom twice a year. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pour water onto electrical components.

How can I save energy with my fridge?

Install in a cool, ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Allow hot food to cool before placing inside. Cover liquids to reduce humidity. Minimize door openings and ensure door gaskets are clean and tight. Thaw frozen food in the fridge compartment to help cool it.

What should I do when using the fridge for the first time?

Keep the fridge upright for at least 3 hours before plugging in. Clean all parts with warm water and bicarbonate solution. Set thermostat to a medium position (3-4) and allow 24 hours to reach operating temperature before adding food.

How do I make ice cubes?

Fill the ice tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment. For faster ice, ensure the freezer is at the correct temperature (thermostat setting 3-5). Do not use glass bottles in the freezer as they can burst.

What do the climate classes mean?

Climate class indicates the ambient temperature range for optimal operation: T (16-43°C), ST (16-38°C), N (16-32°C), SN (10-32°C). The KF1385LFVF is suitable for all these classes.

How long do spare parts remain available?

Original spare parts for specific components are available for a minimum of 7 or 10 years (depending on component type) from the last unit of the model placed on the market. Contact authorized service for replacements.

THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

Thermostat setting

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

Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond position 1, it will stop your appliance from working.

Freezer & fridge thermostat setting;

1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between the minimum and medium position.

3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob to the medium position.

5: For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work for longer. So, after the desired condition is reached, return the knob to the previous setting.

If Super Switch is available:

a) Super freezing: If ambient temperature is more than 18^ C, This switch can be used as superfreeze switch.

Super freeze switch should be used for freezing the fresh food or when the RED lamp on the head panel is ON. (RED lamp on the head panel becomes ON when there is insufficient cooling).

The appliance will work longer when you activate this switch. So after you get the cold condition (or the Red lamp on the head panel is off) you must return to previous position.

At the ambient temperature more than 18 °C, if superfreezing function doesn't want to be used, it must always be set to OFF position.

b) Low ambient performance: If ambient temperature is less than 18 °C, this switch can also be used as a low ambient switch for good low ambient performance.

In low ambient temperatures, this switch heats the fridge part to prevent extra cooling / freezing.

Super freezing: This switch shall be used as superfreeze switch. For maximum freezing capacity, please turn on this switch before 24 hours placing fresh food. After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours ON position is generally sufficient. In order to save energy, please turn off this switch after 24 hours from placing fresh food.

Winter Switch: If ambient temperature is below 16 °C , this switch shall be used as winter switch and it keeps your fridge above 0 °C while freezer is below -18 °C in low ambiants.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator compartment

• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment(that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storing conditions.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

Food Maximum	Storing time	Where to place in the fridge compartment
Vegetables and fruits 1	week Vegetable bin
Meat and fish 2 - 3 Days		Wrapped in plastic foil or bags or in a meat container(on the glass shelf)
Fresh cheese 3 - 4 Days	In special door shelf
Butter and margarine 1	week In special door shelf
Bottled products milk and yoghurt	Until the expiry date recommended by the producer	In special door shelf
Eggs 1 month In the egg	shelf
Cooked food All shelves

Freezer compartment

- Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing the frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.

- To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for upper and middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.

- For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, Set the refrigerator at 4 for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.

- After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 5 for 24 hours is generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.

- Please do not place the food you shall newly freeze nearby the already frozen food.

- You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing them into portions in such a way that they can be consumed once.

- Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may pose a danger for your health since it might cause problems such as food poisoning.

- Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.

- When you buy frozen food, makes sure that they were frozen under appropriate conditions and the package is not torn.

- While storing the frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there is not any explanation, the food must be consumed within the shortest time possible.

- If there had been humidification in the frozen food package and it has a foul smell, the food might have been stored under unsuitable conditions previously and gone rotten. Do not purchase this type of foods!

- The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the ambient temperature, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type and the time elapsed from the purchase time of the food to the time it is placed into the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed the indicated storage duration.

Note that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be opened easily. It's quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be opened easily.

Important note:

- Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.

- The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.

- The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.

- The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

Some recommendations have been specified on pages 14, 15 and 16 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

CHAPTER 6. TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and changing of installation position

- The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.

- During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.

- Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie, shelves, crisper...) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent them from getting damaged.

Carry your fridge in the upright position.

Repositioning the door

• It is not possible to change the opening direction of your refrigerator door, if the door handle on your refrigerator is installed from the front surface of the door.
• It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any handles.
• If the door opening direction of your refrigerator may be changed, you should contact the nearest Authorised Service Agent to have the opening direction changed.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

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

What to do if your appliance does not operate

Check that:

• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected,
• The thermostat setting is on the «•» position,
• The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug the appliance in to another socket which you know is working.

What to do if your appliance performs poorly

Check that:

• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The thermostat setting is on position "1" (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable value).
  • The doors are closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space at the rear and side walls.

If your fridge is operating too loudly

Normal Noises

Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances)

During automatic defrosting.

When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.-

Compressor noise

• Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
• The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.

Bubbling noise and splash:

- This noise is caused by the flow of the fridge freezer in the tubes of the system.

If your fridge is operating too loudly

To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from your fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically.

If the noises persist;

• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
  • Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?

if this is the case.

If you hear any other noises check that:

• The appliance is level
• Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.

Water flow noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances) Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

Air Blow Noise: If the appliance has fan in freezer/cooler /bottom cabinet compartments.

This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

If there is water in the lower part of the fridge freezer,

Check that:

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

Recommendations

• If you do not intend to use the appliance for long time (for example during the summer holidays) unplug and clean the appliance and leave the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smells.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug it from the main socket (for cleaning and when the doors are left open).
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

Tips for saving energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.
4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc) closed
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, if your gasket is detachable, replace the gasket. If not detachable, you have to replace the door. Energy consumption is declared with maximum load and using only freezer bottom glass shelf.
