Frequently Asked Questions - KS 9265 TECHWOOD

How do I adjust the temperature on my Techwood KS 9265 refrigerator?

Turn the thermostat knob inside the refrigerator compartment. Positions range from 0 (off) to 5 (coldest). For short-term storage, set between 1-3; for long-term, set between 3-4.

What should I do if my refrigerator is making unusual noises?

Slight bubbling sounds from the refrigerant are normal. If noises are different, check that the appliance is level, nothing is touching the rear, and items inside are not vibrating.

Why is there water pooling at the bottom of my refrigerator?

This is usually due to a clogged defrost water drain hole. Clean the drain hole using the defrost drain plug to allow water to flow to the evaporating tray.

What should I check if my refrigerator is not cooling enough?

Ensure the thermostat is not set to 0, the doors are closed properly, the condenser is free of dust, and there is adequate space around the unit (at least 15 cm above, 5 cm from heat sources). Also check that the ambient temperature is within the climate class range.

How can I reverse the door on my Techwood KS 9265?

Lie the appliance on its left side. Remove both leveling feet and bottom hinge. Unscrew the bottom hinge pin and screw it into the next hole. Unscrew the top hinge pin and move it to the left hinge. Replace the top bushing and cap. Remove door handle and reassemble on the other side. See manual for detailed steps and figures.

How do I clean my refrigerator?

Unplug the fridge. Wipe interior and exterior with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Remove parts individually and clean with soapy water. Do not use flammable or corrosive cleaners. Clean the condenser (rear) with a broom at least twice a year.

How do I replace the interior light bulb?

1. Unplug the fridge. 2. Remove the cover of the bulb box using a screwdriver. 3. Replace with a bulb of maximum 15 Watts. 4. Install the cover. 5. Wait 5 minutes before re-plugging and reset the thermostat.

Does the refrigerator defrost automatically?

Yes, the refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The defrost water collects in an evaporating tray and evaporates. Clean the drain hole periodically to prevent water buildup. Do not use mechanical devices to speed up defrosting.

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

Keep the fridge upright for 3 hours before plugging in. Clean all parts with warm water and a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, then rinse and dry. Ensure the thermostat is set to a suitable position. Allow 24 hours of continuous operation to reach proper cooling before storing food.

What should I do if my refrigerator stops working?

Check if there is power, if the main switch is on, if the thermostat is not set to 0, and if the socket is working by testing another device. If none of these, contact service.

CHAPTER 5. BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

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

What to do if your refrigerator does not operate ;

Check that ;

• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is not disconnected,
• The thermostat setting is on « 0 » position,
• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is working into the same socket.

What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly ;

Check that ;

• You have not overloaded the appliance,
  • The doors are closed perfectly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.

If there is noise ;

The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If these sounds are different check that;

• The appliance is well leveled,
- Nothing is touching the rear,
- The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator

Check that ;

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

If your fridge is not cooling enough;

Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

Climate Class	Ambient Temperature (°C)
T	Between 16 and 43 (°C)
ST	Between 16 and 38 (°C)
N	Between 16 and 32 (°C)
SN	Between 10 and 32 (°C)

Recommendations

- In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the « cooling section » of refrigerators is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is running, this wall is covered with frost or water drops, when the compressor is running. Do not worry. This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively thick ice layer forms on the back wall.

- If the appliance is not used for a long time (for example during the summer holidays). Set the thermostat knob to « 0 » position. Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
