Frequently Asked Questions - LKK-120RC Ravanson

What should I do if the refrigerator stops working?

Check that the thermostat is not set to '0', the plug is firmly inserted, the power supply is on, and wait at least 5 minutes after a power outage before restarting. Also ensure the device is level and not touching walls.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling enough?

Possible causes: too much food or tight arrangement blocking airflow, exposure to sunlight or high ambient temperature, location near a heat source, frequent door openings, insufficient ventilation (minimum 10 cm clearance on sides and back). Also check that the door seals are clean and close properly.

Why is there frost build-up in the freezer?

Frost is normal; manually defrost when ice layer reaches 3-5 cm thick. Turn thermostat to '0', unplug, remove food, and let ice melt. Speed up by placing a bowl of hot water inside. Do not use metal tools or electric heaters. Clean and dry before restarting.

Why is my refrigerator making loud noises?

Normal sounds include water running (refrigerant flow) and tapping from thermal expansion. If unusually loud, ensure the refrigerator is level on a solid surface and not touching walls. If noise persists, contact service.

How do I replace the interior light bulb?

Set thermostat to '0' and unplug the refrigerator. Remove food from top shelf and pull it forward. The bulb is behind the light cover at the rear of the thermostat housing. Twist off the old bulb and replace with a new one of the same type (LED, 1 W). Replace the cover.

Can I freeze fresh food in this refrigerator?

The freezer compartment is suitable for storing frozen food and making ice. For freezing fresh food, set thermostat to position 4 or 5 for fast freezing, but note that the manual states it is not intended for freezing fresh foodstuffs. Use the freezer for short-term storage of frozen items.

How to clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the refrigerator. Clean interior and exterior with a soft damp cloth and mild neutral detergent. Do not use hot water, solvents, alcohol, benzene, or abrasive cleaners. Pay attention to door seals. Dry thoroughly. For exterior condensation, wipe dry.

What does the thermostat setting mean?

Thermostat has positions 0 (off) to 5. Lower numbers (e.g., 1) give higher temperature (less cooling), higher numbers (e.g., 5) give lower temperature (more cooling). Position 5 is for fast freezing. Normal setting is between 2 and 4 depending on ambient temperature.

Why is there moisture or condensation on the outside?

Condensation on the exterior is normal in high humidity. Wipe with a dry cloth. Ensure the door is closed properly and the seals are clean. If persistent, check for proper ventilation and leveling.

What should I do if I smell gas or suspect a refrigerant leak?

If the refrigerant circuit is damaged, avoid open flames and sparks. Immediately ventilate the room. Unplug the device if safe. Contact the manufacturer's service center. The refrigerant is isobutane (R600a), which is flammable but environmentally friendly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Laudable sound of running water is normal for working compressor.

Laudable tapping is a reaction to sudden changes of temperature.

Hot compressor – during operation, the compressor's temperature can reach 90°C

Hot side wall of the refrigerator – during operation, both sides of the refrigerator can achieve an average temperature of 55^ C.

Brumous deposit appears on the outer part of the refrigerator. This is normal due to the high humidity. A freezer should be dried.
