Frequently Asked Questions - TS1 130 TEKA

What are the recommended clearances for installing this refrigerator?

For proper ventilation, allow 200 mm on each side, 200 mm at the back, and 300 mm above the refrigerator. Avoid installing near heat sources or direct sunlight.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Turn the thermostat knob inside the refrigerator. Use Min (1) for less cool, Med (3) for normal operation, and Max (6) for the coolest temperature. Setting Off stops cooling.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling?

Check if the power cord is plugged in, the thermostat is not set to Off, and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Also ensure the air vents inside are not blocked.

How do I defrost the refrigerator?

Defrosting is automatic. Melted frost flows into a drip tray and evaporates. No manual defrosting is needed. For excessive frost, ensure the door is closing properly.
