Positioning the Appliance

• Place the appliance away from heat sources such as ovens, radiators, direct sunlight, etc.
  • This appliance should not be exposed to rain.
• There must be sufficient airflow in the lower rear section of the appliance, since poor air circulation can affect its performance.
  • Built-in appliances should be placed away from heat sources, such as heaters and direct sunlight.

Note: You must have good ventilation around the appliance to allow effective heat dissipation, high efficiency cooling and low power consumption. To this end, there should be enough space around the appliance. It is advisable for there to be 75 mm between the back of the fridge and the wall, at least 100 mm of space on both sides, 100 mm above the top and a clear space in front to allow the doors to open.

Door Reversing

The side on which the door opens can be changed from the right side to the left side, if the installation site requires.

Starting Up and Temperature Regulation

Insert the power plug into a grounded power outlet. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on.

The temperature control knob is located on the right side of the refrigerator compartment.

Position 0: off. Turn in a clockwise direction and the refrigeration unit will turn on and will run automatically afterwards.

Position 1: highest temperature, warmest setting.

Position 7 (last): lowest temperature, coldest setting.

Notes:

• The 2, 3 or 4 settings are suggested if a lower or higher temperature is required. Adjust according to your preference. Place the regulator in the lower position, it will increase energy efficiency. Other positions require higher energy consumption.
• High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting (position 6 to 7) may cause the compressor to run for long periods of time or even non-stop. This is because when the temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain a low temperature within the appliance.
• The temperatures of the refrigerator and freezer compartments cannot be regulated independently.
• If the ambient temperature is low, approximately 16°C, you must select position "3" or "4". For ambient temperatures of approximately 25°C, you should select position "2".
• If a lower temperature is required, select positions "3" or "4". With these settings, it is guaranteed that fresh food is safely frozen and that the freezer compartment is always at a temperature of -12^ .
• If fresh food needs to be frozen quickly, select position "7", but make sure that the temperature of the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You should also place the temperature regulator back to "3" or "4" as soon as possible.

Correct Storage

1. Ready-made meals, pastries and jams/canned food
2. Fresh, salted and cured meat and dairy products
3. Cheese, fruit and vegetables
4. Meat, ice cream and other foods that require freezing
5. Butter, cheese and jams/canned food
6. Drinks

Suggestions:

The food stored in a refrigerator should always be covered or packaged to prevent dehydration or the contamination of other food. The following containers are suitable for packaging: film and sealed polyethylene bags, plastic containers with lids, suitable plastic bags with elastics, and aluminum foil.

Energy Saving Tips

• Do not put hot food in the appliance; let it cool first.
• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of heat. A high temperature may cause the compressor to run longer and more frequently.
• In order to increase the efficiency of the cooling system, make sure that the sides and rear of the unit are at some distance from the wall, according to the values indicated in the "Positioning the Appliance" section.
• When the appliance is running, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

KC2530

EN

• Do not select a temperature colder than necessary.
• It is essential for a direct cooling refrigerator (with a freezer) to be defrosted when necessary. This improves the transfer of cold and reduces energy consumption.
• The image displayed on the "Storage Shelves and Metal Shelves" shows the combination of drawers, drawer covers and shelves that provides the most energy efficient configuration. If you change the configuration, you may increase energy consumption.
• Store food logically.
• Do not exceed the specified storage period.

Noises During Operation

The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances:

• Clicks: Whenever the compressor switches on or off, you may hear a click.
• Whispers: When the compressor starts, you may hear it "whisper".
• Bubbling: when the refrigerant enters the narrow tubes, you may hear bubbling or splashing.
• Splashes: this noise can be heard for a period of time, even after the compressor turns off.

Defrosting

Water contained in food, or air getting inside the appliance when opening doors, may form a layer of frost inside. When this layer becomes thicker, cooling becomes less efficient. When the layer is more than 10 mm thick, you must defrost the appliance.

Defrosting the Fresh Food Compartment

It is automatically controlled when turning the temperature control off or on, so there is no need to defrost. Water from defrosting will drain automatically into a drip tray through a drainpipe at the back of the fridge.

Defrosting in the Frozen-food Storage Compartment

The freezer compartment must be defrosted manually.

• Before defrosting, take the food out.
• Take the ice tray and the shelves out, or put them into the fresh food compartment, temporarily.
- Turn the temperature regulator knob to position "0" (which will turn off the compressor).
- Leave the door of the refrigerator open until the ice and frost have completely melted and accumulated at the bottom of the freezer compartment.
- Mop up the water using a soft cloth.

kunft®

• To speed up the defrosting process, put a bowl of warm water (at about 50^ ) into the freezer compartment, and scrape away the ice and frost with a defrosting spatula.
• Once finished, make sure to return the temperature regulator knob to its original position.

Notes:

• It is not advisable to heat the freezer compartment directly with hot water or a hairdryer while defrosting, to avoid the interior warping.
• It is not advisable to scrape ice or extract food from the containers in which they were frozen with sharp objects or wood utensils, to avoid damaging the interior of the compartment or the surface of the containers.
• To switch off the appliance, set the thermostat to position "0".
• The refrigerator should be defrosted at least once a month. If the door is opened frequently or if the refrigerator is used in extremely humid environments, it is advisable to defrost it every two weeks.

For Long Periods of Disuse

• Remove all refrigerated containers.
• Turn off the appliance by turning the temperature control knob to the "0" position.
• Remove the plug from the socket or turn off the power.
• Clean thoroughly (see "Maintenance" section).
• Keep the doors open to prevent the appearance of smells.

2.3. Maintenance

For safety reasons, the inside of the appliance, including accessories, should be cleaned regularly.

- Essential oils and organic solvents, e.g. lemon juice, juice from orange peel, or cleansers that contain acetic acid can damage plastic parts. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with the appliance parts.

- Do not use any abrasive cleaners.

- Remove the food from the refrigerator, cover it well and place it in a cool place.

- Switch the appliance off and unplug it from the outlet, or switch off the circuit breaker, or remove the fuse.
