Frequently Asked Questions - KS104.4A+ PKM

How to install the PKM KS104.4A+ fridge?

Place the fridge on a level, stable surface. Ensure at least 10 cm clearance at the back and 5 cm on the sides for ventilation. Allow the appliance to stand upright for 4 hours before connecting to power. Do not install near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

How to set the temperature correctly?

The thermostat dial is located inside the fridge. Turn clockwise for colder (max position) and counter-clockwise for warmer. For normal use, set between 3-4 (medium). The freezer compartment will automatically follow.

Why is my fridge making noise?

Normal sounds include: compressor humming, refrigerant flowing (gurgling), and occasional clicks from the thermostat. If loud vibrations occur, check if the fridge is level and items inside are stable. Defrosting may cause cracking sounds.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost the freezer when ice build-up reaches 5-10 mm thick, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage. Turn off the appliance, remove food, and let ice melt naturally. Never use sharp tools to remove ice.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Follow the manual instructions: remove hinges, transfer door handles and hinges to the opposite side, and reattach. Ensure the door seals properly after reversal.

How to clean the fridge?

Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use warm water and mild detergent; rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean the condenser coils at the back with a brush or vacuum every 6 months. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What to do if the fridge is not cooling?

Check if the power cord is plugged in and the thermostat is not set to '0'. Ensure the door closes properly. If the compressor does not run, there may be a fault. Contact PKM service. Also, check for ice build-up blocking airflow.

Can I store hot food in the fridge?

No, hot food raises the internal temperature, causing excessive energy consumption and potential food spoilage. Allow food to cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge, but do not leave food out for more than 2 hours.

How to save energy with this fridge?

Keep the fridge away from heat sources. Allow hot food to cool before storing. Open the door only when necessary. Ensure the door seals are clean and tight. Set the thermostat to a moderate setting (3-4). Defrost regularly to prevent ice buildup.

Where can I get spare parts or service?

Spare parts are available from PKM authorized service centers or online retailers. For service, contact PKM customer support with your model number (KS104.4A+). Common spare parts include shelves, door bins, thermostat, and door gasket.

4.2 Temperature control

1. The thermostat controls the temperature inside your appliance. The thermostat is switched off when it is set to position 0/AUS/OFF.
2. Turn the knob to position 3 (normal operating-temperature) as soon as you have switched on the appliance. After approx. 5 hours the appliance has reached its normal operating-temperature. Your new appliance is ready to operate now.
3. If you want to set a warmer temperature, turn the knob from position 3 to position 2 or lower.

4. In case of high ambient temperatures (e.g. hot summer days): turn the knob from position 3 to position 4 or higher to set a lower temperature.

5. If you choose a low temperature and some rime is generated at the backside of the appliance, we recommend to choose a higher temperature.

6. When you open the door of the cooling-compartment, the internal light is switched on. When you close the door, the internal light is switched off.
7. If you have disconnected the appliance from the energy supply, wait 3-5 minutes before you restart the appliance. Otherwise the appliance can be damaged.

⚠ WARNING! The setting 0/OFF switches off the compressor only. You must unplug the appliance to disconnect it from the mains.

4.3 Operational parameters

1. The appliance can only reach the relevant temperatures when:

a. the a ambient temperature meets the climatic class.
b. the doors close properly.
c. you do not open the doors too often or too long.
d. the door seals are in proper condition.
e. the appliance is properly positioned.
f. you have not overfilled the appliance.
g. you do not store warm or hot food in the appliance.

1. When the ambient temperature is very high, it is recommended to set the thermostat to a colder setting if needed. If the colder setting should cause strong formation of encrusted ice, please select a lower setting.
2. High ambient temperatures and simultaneously operating at the coldest setting may make the compressor operate permanently to keep the temperature constant inside the appliance.
3. Defrost the appliance periodically as encrusted ice will decrease the power and increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

4.4 Helpful hints/energy saving

Do not line the drawers with aluminium foil, waxed paper or paper layers; otherwise optimum circulation of the cold air is impeded so the appliance cannot work at best performance.
◆ Cooked food can be stored in the appliance. Let it cool down to room temperature before you put it into your appliance.
◆ Store your food in colourless, airtight and tasteless materials.
Some food like meat, fish etc. may become dry and release strong odours. You can avoid these by wrapping them into aluminium foil or plastic wrap or putting them into an airtight bag or container.
Allow ample storage place for your food. Do not overfill your appliance.

• Wrap your food in plastic wrap or suitable paper and place each kind of food in a particular location in your appliance. This will prevent any contamination, a loss of water and a mingling of odours.
  Let warm or hot food cool down to room temperature before you put it into your appliance. Otherwise the energy consumption will increase and encrusted ice will be generated.
  If you buy frozen food, the packaging must not be damaged and the product must be properly stored (sales container -18°C or lower).
  Put the frozen food you want to defrost into the cooling-compartment of you appliance.
  How to defrost frozen food depends on your kitchen-equipment and the purpose, you want to use the frozen food for.

√ room temperature
