Frequently Asked Questions - GS168-M PKM
What is the correct temperature setting for my PKM GS168-M freezer?
The ideal temperature for a freezer is -18°C (0°F). Use the adjustable thermostat inside to set it. For initial setup, turn the knob to the coldest setting (e.g., 4 or 5) for 24 hours, then adjust as needed.
How often should I defrost the freezer?
Manual defrosting is required when ice buildup exceeds 5 mm (about 0.2 inches). Depending on usage, this may be every 6-12 months. Always unplug the appliance and transfer food to a cool place before defrosting.
Why is my freezer making unusual noises?
Normal operational sounds include a clicking sound (thermostat), gurgling (refrigerant flow), and fan noise. If you hear loud rattling or buzzing, check if the freezer is level, or if objects on top are vibrating. Clean the condenser coil as well.
How can I save energy with my PKM GS168-M?
Place the freezer away from heat sources, keep it fully stocked (but not overcrowded), allow hot food to cool before storing, and ensure door seals are clean and intact. Defrost regularly and set the temperature to -18°C.
What should I do if the door does not close properly?
Check if the freezer is level (adjust the front legs if needed). Clean the door gasket with warm soapy water and ensure nothing is blocking the door. If the gasket is worn, replace it via PKM service.
Is the interior light replaceable?
Yes, the interior light bulb is replaceable. Unplug the freezer, remove the light cover (usually a small plastic shield), and replace with an equivalent bulb (check manual for wattage). Usually 10-15W screw-type bulb.
How do I reverse the door hinge?
The door is reversible. Remove the top hinge cover, unscrew hinges, take off the door, and reattach on the opposite side. Detailed instructions are in the user manual. Keep all screws and parts.
What does the alarm sound mean?
Some models have a temperature alarm that sounds if the internal temperature rises too high (e.g., door open too long or power failure). Check the door is closed, reset by pressing any button, or consult manual. It may not have an alarm if it's a basic model.
Can I store flammable items in the freezer?
No, never store flammable, explosive, or volatile substances (e.g., gas cartridges, spirits) inside the freezer. Only store food items and approved freezer-safe containers.
How to clean the condenser coil?
Unplug the freezer. Locate the condenser coil (usually at the back or bottom). Gently vacuum dust and debris using a brush attachment. Do not use water. Clean once a year for optimal performance.
