Frequently Asked Questions - FZ400 Khind

How do I set the temperature on my Khind FZ400 freezer?

Turn the thermostat dial located inside the freezer. The recommended setting is mid-range for normal use. Adjust according to your storage needs.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

What is the proper way to clean the freezer?

Unplug the unit, remove all food, and allow to defrost. Wipe interior and exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly before plugging back in.

1. The temperature of the freezer can be controlled by using the thermostat control knob on the control panel.

2. According to different ambient temperatures, types and quantity of stored foods, proper adjustment of the thermostat control knob can make the interior temperature controlled within an appropriate temperature range.
   There are 1-8 settings on the control panel. Turning the thermostat control knob in clockwise direction will increase the compressor's operating time, reduce the freezer's downtime, and reduce the interior temperature of the freezer. Turning the thermostat knob in anti-clockwise direction will shorten the compressor's working time, prolong the freezer's downtime, and will increase the interior temperature of the freezer.

1. "Run" & "Power" Indicator light are to determine if there is power or not and if the refrigerating system is working.

2. "Power" indicator (Red Light): Red light is ON when power is connected to the freezer

3. "Run" indicator (Green Light): Green light is ON when compressor is running, or is OFF when compressor is not running.

Alert:

a. The temperature will be affected by:

• Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored

• Position of the appliance

b. Please remember each time the lid is opened, cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore, never leave the lid open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed.
c. DO NOT frequently power ON / OFF the freezer.
d. If there is an electricity cut-off, please wait for 5 minutes before operating the appliance again to avoid damage to the compressor.
e. DO NOT DEEP freeze for a long time for more than 24 hours, it is not good for the refrigerating system. Turn back the knob to the normal cold working condition (position 2 or 3) when the articles are frozen.

Penggunaan Harian

5.1 Termostat

1. Subu pembeku boleh dikawal dengan mengguwakan tombol kawalan subu pada panel kawalan.

2. Mengikut suhu, jenis dan kuantiti makanan yang disimpan, pelarasan tombol kawalan suhu yang tepat dapat menjadikan suhu dalaman perkakas ini dikendalikan dalam lingkungan suhu yang sesuai.

3. Terdapat 1–8 tetapan pada panel kawalan. Menutarkan tombal kawalan termasati mengkut arah jani akan meningkatkan masa operasi ponampa, mengurangkan waktu hensi perdingin sejuk, dan mengurangkan suku dolaman peti dingin sejak. Pajar tombal kawalan suku ke arah lawan jani akan mengurangkan waktu kerja pemampa, menanjangkan waktu hensi peti dingin sejak, dan akan meningkatkan suku dolaman peti dingin sejak.

1. Before using the freezer it must be cleaned thoroughly with lukewarm or clean water to remove away dust or dirt at the interior surface of the freezer. This is to avoid contamination of food.
2. After cleaning, switch on the freezer and set the thermostat control knob at max position, without putting any food for at least 1-2 hours. This is to ensure that the cold air in the freezer has reached a suitable temperature for freezing food. As a result, frozen food can preserve its freshness and taste for a longer period.
3. After stabilising the temperature, the thermostat control is set to the appropriate setting according to the food load.

ALERT:

a. During transportation, the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigerator system. Let the unit stand for at least 2 hours in order to avoid the system from chocking.

Procedures:

I. Take out the frozen food, turn the freezer off at the main supply and leave the lid open.
II. Scrape away as much frost as possible, thawing of the reminder can be accelerated by placing a bowl of hot water inside the cabinet. As the solid frost loosens, scrape it away with a plastic scraper (not provided) and then wipe over the cabinet and the lid and dry thoroughly.
III. When the cabinet is completely dry and clean, close the lid, switch on main supply. Proceed as for instruction on "OPERATION OF THE FREEZER".
