Frequently Asked Questions - KGR 2421 Nabo

How do I adjust the temperature in the refrigerator?

Turn the thermostat knob (located inside the refrigerator) to a number between 1 (warmest) and 7 (coldest). 0 turns off the compressor but does not disconnect power. The actual temperature depends on ambient conditions and food load.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost the freezer at least twice a year, or when the ice layer exceeds 5 mm. Turn off the appliance, remove food, leave the door open until ice melts, then clean and dry thoroughly before restarting.

What should I do if water appears on the floor under the appliance?

Check if the thaw water collection tray has slipped off the compressor. If so, reposition the tray on top of the compressor. Also ensure the thaw water channel is not blocked.

Why is my refrigerator making loud noises?

Ensure the appliance is level and not touching walls or furniture. Check that bottles or dishes inside are not rattling. Normal sounds include murmuring from refrigerant flow and clicking when the compressor starts.

How do I change the interior light bulb?

Unplug the appliance. Use a flat screwdriver to press the light lid retainer and pull the lid off. Replace the bulb with a 15 W E14 type. Snap the lid back on and plug in.

Can I store hot food directly in the refrigerator?

No, allow food to cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator or freezer to avoid raising the internal temperature and overworking the compressor.

What is the recommended storage time for frozen food?

Fish and sausages: max 6 months. Cheese, poultry, pork, lamb: max 8 months. Beef, fruits, vegetables: max 12 months. Always check manufacturer's dates.

Why is there condensation on the top of the appliance?

If ambient humidity exceeds 70%, condensation may form on the top. Ventilate the room and reduce humidity sources. This is normal and not a malfunction.

What should I do if the appliance is not cooling?

Check that the power cord is plugged in and the socket is working. Ensure the thermostat is not set to 0. Verify that the doors close properly and the condenser is clean. If the problem persists, contact service.

How should I clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance. Use warm soapy water or dishwashing detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, acid, alcohol, or benzene. Clean the condenser and rear area with a soft brush or vacuum at least once a year.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING CONDITIONS

Positioning:

- This appliance can be installed in a dry, well ventilated indoor where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance.

Do not install this appliance in areas that are too humid or too colds, such as the construction appendices, garages or wine cellars. Place the appliance away from heat sources such as kitchen stove/oven, radiators, or direct sunlight. The appliance must not touch any pipes for heating, gas or water supply, or any other electrical devices.

Minimum distances from the heat sources:

• from the electric gas and other ovens - 30 mm,
• from oil or coal fired ovens - 300 mm,
• from built-in ovens - 50 mm

If there is no possibility of ensuring the above-mentioned distances, provide an appropriate insulation board.

- Do not cover the ventilation holes at the top of the appliances – it must be a good air circulation around the appliance. There should be a gap of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance body and any furniture that may be above it (see

fig.). If this requirement is not followed, the appliance consumes more electrical energy and its compressor may overheat.

• The appliance must stand on a level surface and must not touch the wall. If necessary, regulate the height of the appliance by adjusting the levelling feet: by turning them clockwise – the front of the appliance rises, by turning them counter clockwise – it comes down. If the appliance is tilted slightly backward – the doors will close by themselves.
• ◀ If the appliance is placed in a corner, a gap must be left between the appliance body and the wall so that the freezer compartment door can be opened enough to pull out the frozen product drawer (see picture).

Installation before using the appliance for the first time:

It is recommended to prepare the appliance for operation with a helper.

- Remove all red-coloured parts from the shelves. Tear away the adhesive tapes from the door trays – they are intended only for the transport of the appliance.

The appliance should not be connected to the mains until all packing and transport materials aren't removed.

- Take two supports 1 from the bag and insert them into the guides 2 at the top back part of the appliance (see picture).

First use:

- When the unit is first switched on, a slight 'new' smell may be noticed. However, this will disappear once the cooling process has begun.

- Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30 minutes before it is connected to the mains.

If the appliance has been tilted more than 30^ during transport, allow it to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it is connected to the mains. If this is not done, the appliance compressor may fail.

- When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours.

Connection to the mains:

- This appliance should be connected to 220-230V 50Hz supply socket. The socket must be fitted properly, and must be supplied with an earthling conduit and a 10 A fuse. It is a legal requirement that the appliance is properly earthed. The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage or injury which may result from the failure to fulfil this requirement.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled using the thermostat knob 1 (fig. 1) by turning it to one side or the other. The temperature indication in digits is shown beside the thermostat knob.

The numbers "0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" do not mean a specific temperature.

The temperature is regulated on the scale of seven digits:

0 = Compressor is switched off. WARNING! Electric current is not switched off.

1 = highest temperature (lowest cooling)

7 = lowest temperature (highest cooling)

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment may vary depending on ambient temperature, the amount of foodstuffs, the temperature of the foodstuffs, and how often the appliance doors are opened and closed.

If the room is cool, the appliance cools less. The temperature in the appliance may therefore rise. Use the thermostat wheel to set a lower temperature.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER EFFICIENTLY

Storage zones in the refrigerator compartment:

Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator chamber. The most appropriate compartments of the appliance where specific types of food are to be stored, taking into account different temperature distribution in different compartments in the appliance, are as follows:

1) Upper area of the refrigerator compartment & door - temperature zone: Store tropical fruit, cans, drinks, eggs, sauces, pickles, butter, jam.
2) Middle area of the refrigerator compartment -cool zone: Store cheese, milk, dairy food, deli food, yoghurt.
3) Lower area of the refrigerator compartment- coldest zone: Store cold cuts, desserts, meat and fish, cheesecake, fresh pasta, sour cream, pesto/salsa, home-cooked food, pastry cream, pudding and cream cheese.
4) Fruit & vegetable drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment: Store vegetables and fruits (excluding tropical fruits).

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

Freezing of foodstuffs * * * The thermostat knob should be set to 7. Fresh foodstuffs prepared for freezing and cooled to room temperature should be placed in one layer at the bottom of the freezer compartment. After 24 hours, move the frozen foodstuffs onto the wire shelf 8 (see illustration 1). When the products are frozen, the thermostat wheel should be set at its earlier position.

• DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FROZEN FOOD INDICATED IN THE RATING LABEL.
• Leave not less than 3 cm gap between a top of frozen products and a bottom of drawer, which is over them.
• Do not refreeze partly thawed products.
• Do not place unwrapped foodstuffs in the freezer sections.
• Fresh food for freezing should not touch already frozen foodstuffs.

• Do not freeze foodstuffs that are warmer than the room temperature.

• WARNING! Do not freeze liquid foodstuffs in glass vessels or bottles.

• Do not consume ice made in the freezer compartment straight away.
• Products will freeze more quickly if they are divided up and packed in small portions.
• Strictly observe the frozen foodstuffs validity dates indicated by the manufacturer on the product packaging.
• WE RECOMMEND THAT FROZEN FISH AND SAUSAGE SHOULD BE STORED IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT NOT LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS; CHEESE, POULTRY, PORK, LAMB – NOT MORE THAN 8 MONTHS; BEEF, FRUIT AND VEGETABLES – NOT LONGER THAN 12 MONTHS.

CAUTION! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).

DEFROSTING, CLEANING AND CARE

THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT defrosts automatically. Drops of ice that form on the back wall of the refrigerator compartment thaw during the time the compressor is not working and the thaw water runs down the thaw water runoff channel to the tray on top of the compressor (Fig. 1), where it evaporates.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT should be thawed not less than twice a year or when a layer of ice thicker than 5 mm forms in it. Do the actions below in the order they are listed:

WARNING! Turn the appliance off and pull the plug out of the electrical socket.

• Remove foodstuffs from freezer compartment.
• Leave door of appliance open. When the ice melts, clean and wipe dry the surfaces and fixtures of the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
• Close the appliance door. Plug in and turn on the appliance.

REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE!

Note: before cleaning the cooling device and its rear compartment part, the device must be disconnected from the mains by unplugging.

• Protect the appliance inner surfaces and plastic parts from fats, acids and sauces. In case of accidental spills – immediately clean with warm soapy water or dishwashing detergent. Wipe dry.
• Clean the appliance inner surfaces with warm soapy water. Dishwashing detergent may also be used. Wipe dry. Regularly wash the trays and other accessories.
• Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.

• REGULARLY CLEAN THE THAW WATER CHANNEL SPACE WITH A SPECIAL CLEANER FOR THAT PURPOSE (see picture).
• At least once a year clean dust away from the back part of the appliance body and the compressor. A soft brush, electrostatic cloth or vacuum cleaner may be used for cleaning.
• DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol or benzene for cleaning the appliance inner and outer surfaces. DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended for scrubbing.

CHANGING THE INTERIOR LIGHT BULB

When changing the interior light bulb (fig. 6), do the actions below in the order they are listed:

1. Unplug the appliance from the mains by pulling the plug out of the electricity supply socket.

2. Push the interior light bulb lid 4 retainer 5 with a flat screwdriver and with your other hand pull it toward yourself.

3. If the bulb does not light up, replace it with another 15 W bulb of the same type with an E14 lamp holder.

4. When you have changed the light bulb, replace the lid 4 and push — the lid will snap into position.

5. Plug the appliance into the electricity supply socket.

OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS

- The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work and. Check that your house electricity supply installations are in order. Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the electricity supply socket.

- The noise has become louder. Check that the appliance is standing stable on a level place. To make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any furniture and that no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance body is touching the wall. Pull the appliance away from any furniture or walls. Check that the cause of increased noise isn't due to bottles, cans or dishes in the appliance that might be touching each other.

- Water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Check whether a thaw water channel space isn't blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space with a cleaner intended for that purpose.

- Water has appeared on the tempered glass shelves. Food items or dishes in the refrigerator compartment are touching the back wall of the compartment. Do not let food items or dishes touch the back wall.

- Moisture dripping from under the glass shelves. If you placed many containers with liquids on the shelf, moisture can condense and drip onto the shelf below. Move some containers with liquids onto other shelves.

- Water has appeared under the appliance. The thaw water collection tray has slipped off the compressor. Place the tray on top of the compressor.

- When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out. The gasket is smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the groove for it with warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry. Put the rubber sealing gasket back into the place.

- High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short. Ascertain whether the appliance doors are shutting tightly, whether the door wasn't kept open longer than necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs or whether a large amount of warm food was placed in the appliance.

- The top of the appliance has condensation on it. The ambient relative air humidity is above 70 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands and if possible, remove the cause of the humidity.

Remarks on the appliance operating noise. As the appliance

operates and goes through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted.

This is normal and is not a sign of any malfunction.

- As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes sounds like murmuring, bubbling, or rustling. Louder sounds like popping or clicking may be heard for a short time as the refrigerator's compressor switches on.
