Frequently Asked Questions - KS 9260 TECHWOOD

How do I adjust the temperature?

The temperature is adjusted using the manual thermostat dial inside the refrigerator. Turn the dial to a higher number for colder temperatures and a lower number for warmer temperatures. Typically, setting 3-4 is recommended for normal use.

Why is there water pooling inside the refrigerator?

Water pooling is often caused by a blocked defrost drain. Check that the drain hole at the back of the refrigerator is clear of debris. You can use a pipe cleaner or warm water to unclog it. Also ensure the door is properly sealed to prevent excess moisture.

How do I defrost the freezer?

The freezer requires manual defrosting when ice builds up. Remove all food, unplug the refrigerator, and leave the freezer door open to allow ice to melt. Place towels to absorb water. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before plugging back in.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. You will need a screwdriver and follow the steps in the user manual. Typically, you unscrew hinges, remove the door, and reposition the hinges on the opposite side. Take care not to drop the door.

What should I do if the refrigerator stops cooling?

First, check that the appliance is plugged in and the power outlet is working. Ensure the thermostat is not set to '0' or 'off'. Clean the condenser coils (located at the back) if dusty. If still not cooling, contact a qualified technician for service.

How much energy does this refrigerator consume?

The annual energy consumption of the Techwood KS 9260 is approximately 250 kWh based on standard testing conditions. Actual consumption depends on usage and environment.

Is the refrigerator noisy?

The noise level is rated at 40 dB, which is typical for this type of appliance. Some sounds from the compressor and refrigerant flow are normal. If you hear unusual loud or sharp noises, check if the appliance is level and ensure no loose parts.

How do I clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap to wipe interior and exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Clean the door seals regularly to ensure a good seal.

What is the proper clearance for installation?

Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind the refrigerator for ventilation, and 5 cm on each side. Ensure the appliance is placed on a level, solid floor away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

How long can food be stored during a power failure?

In the event of a power failure, the refrigerator can keep food cold for about 6-8 hours if the door is kept closed. The freezer can maintain freezing temperatures for up to 12 hours. Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily.

PART - 3. 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.

Freezer Compartment

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time and making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you will use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to consume them in as short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen foods.
• For storing the frozen foods; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

Not 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.
