Frequently Asked Questions - KS36VAB30 SIEMENS

How to adjust the temperature of my Siemens KS36VAB30 refrigerator?

Use the adjustment button located inside the refrigerator. Turn it to the desired position: usually from 1 to 5, where 5 is the coldest. The ideal temperature is 4°C for the refrigerator and -18°C for the freezer.

How to clean the interior of the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance, remove all food and shelves. Clean with a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water and mild soap. Do not use abrasive products. Rinse and dry thoroughly before putting back into service.

What to do if the refrigerator makes noise?

Check that the appliance is level and stable. Operating noises (humming, clicking) are normal. If the noise is excessive, make sure there is no contact with furniture or objects on the appliance.

How to defrost the freezer?

For manual defrost models, unplug the appliance, remove the food, and leave the freezer door open. Place a container to collect the melting water. Never use sharp objects to scrape the ice.

The door does not close properly, what should I do?

Check that the seals are clean and not damaged. Make sure food is not blocking the closure. If the problem persists, the seal may be deformed: contact after-sales service.

How to reverse the door opening direction?

Unplug the appliance, remove the hinges and door gasket. Follow the instructions in the manual to swap the hinges to the other side. A second person may be necessary.

What does the audible alarm mean?

The alarm may indicate a door left open or a temperature that is too high. Check the door closure and that the appliance is not in defrost mode. If the alarm persists, contact customer service.

Can I freeze fresh food?

Yes, activate the 'quick freezing' function (if available) 24 hours before. Place food in portions in airtight freezer bags. Do not exceed the freezing capacity indicated on the rating plate.

Where to find the rating plate of the refrigerator?

The rating plate is usually located inside the refrigerator, on the left side or at the back. It indicates the model, serial number, and technical data.

How to save energy with my refrigerator?

Place the appliance away from heat sources, leave ventilation space around, do not open the door unnecessarily, and set the temperature to 4°C. Defrost regularly and clean the condenser at the back every 6 months.

Using the installation instructions

Please fold out the illustrated last page. These installation instructions refer to several models.

The diagrams may differ.

Installation location

A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation location. The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances from the heat source:

■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

The floor of the installation location must not give way; if required, reinforce floor. If the floor is uneven, compensate with supports.

Distance from wall

When installing the appliance, ensure that the door can be opened by 90°.

Installing appliances next to each other

Fig. 3

When installing two appliances, ensure that the refrigerator is on the left and the freezer is on the right.

The right side panel of the refrigerator is heated slightly. This prevents condensation from forming between the appliances.

Attaching spacers

Fig. 4

1. On the right side of the refrigerator degrease the adhesive areas with petroleum ether or spirit.
2. Stick spacers in all four corners at a distance of 5 cm from the side edges to ensure a minimum gap between the appliances.

Note

You can purchase a connection set from your dealer.

Changing over the door hinges

(if required)

We recommend that you have the door hinges changed over by our customer service. You can find out the costs for changing over the door hinges from your appropriate customer service.

Warning

While changing over the door hinges, ensure that the appliance is not connected to the power supply. Pull out the mains plug beforehand. To prevent damaging the back of the appliance, place adequate padding underneath. Carefully place the appliance on its back.

Change over the door hinges in numerical sequence. Fig. 1

Note

If the appliance is placed on its back, ensure that the wall spacer is not fitted.

Changing the door handle

(if required)

Fitting the wall spacer

Fig. 5

If available:

Fit wall spacers to obtain the indicated energy absorption of the appliance.

A reduced wall gap will not restrict the function of the appliance. The energy absorption may then change slightly.

Aligning the appliance

Place the appliance in the designated location and align. The appliance must be level. If the floor is uneven, use the front height-adjustable feet. Adjust the height-adjustable feet with a wrench.

Note

The appliance must be upright. Please align it with a spirit level.
