Frequently Asked Questions - COR90 CORONA

What is the ideal temperature setting for the Corona COR90 fridge?

The ideal temperature for general food storage is between 2°C and 5°C. Adjust the thermostat knob accordingly. For optimal energy efficiency, set it to the middle position (3-4).

How do I defrost the Corona COR90 fridge?

Unplug the appliance and remove all food. Leave the door open until ice melts. Collect water with a tray. Clean interior, then plug back in. Do not use sharp objects to scrape ice.

Why is my Corona COR90 fridge not cooling enough?

Check if the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the door closes properly and the door gasket is clean. Also, allow adequate ventilation around the appliance, leaving a 5 cm gap behind.

How do I reverse the door of the Corona COR90?

Instructions for door reversal are in the manual. Typically, you unscrew hinges, swap door handle and hinge brackets, then reassemble. Contact support if unsure.

Can I store hot food in the Corona COR90 fridge?

No, allow food to cool to room temperature before placing inside. Hot food raises internal temperature, risking bacterial growth and overworking the compressor.

How often should I clean the condenser coils?

Clean the condenser coils (located at the back) every 6-12 months using a vacuum cleaner or brush. This improves efficiency and prevents overheating.

What does the 'N-ST' climate class mean?

The fridge is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from 16°C to 38°C. Using it outside this range may affect performance or cause damage.

Is the fridge equipped with a freezer compartment?

No, the COR90 is a single-door fridge only. It does not have a freezer section. For freezing, consider a combined model.

What should I do if the interior light doesn't work?

First, check if the door switch is stuck. If the LED bulb is faulty, contact service for replacement. Do not attempt to replace LED yourself.

Where can I purchase spare parts for the Corona COR90?

Contact Corona customer service or visit the official website. Common spare parts include thermostat, door gasket, shelves, and door bins.

5. Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs. NOTE - If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician performs the service. Component parts shall be replaced with like components and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.
7. DANGER – Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer, take off the doors and leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
8. After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
9. Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: "...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40°F."

Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat. Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you can.

1. This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.

2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.

3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.

POWER SUPPLY CORD

1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme care must be exercised.

a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.

b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTE - Neither Koolatron nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

INSTALLATION (cont.)

1. Unpack your refrigerator by removing all packaging materials like carton, base, foams, adhesive tape, etc.
2. Remove all accessories, internal packaging material used to hold shelves, ice tray, etc. in place.
3. Clean the remains of all adhesive tape and remove all printed material supplied.
4. Install the refrigerator in a convenient location away from extreme heat and cold. Allow sufficient clearance between the refrigerator and side wall so the door(s) will open without obstruction. The refrigerator is not designed for recessed installation.
5. The floor on which the refrigerator should be placed must be flat, hard, solid, and even. The refrigerator should not be placed on any soft material such as foam, plastic, etc.
6. To level your refrigerator, use the two leveling legs located on the bottom front of your refrigerator. Adjust by turning the legs counterclockwise to raise or clockwise to lower your refrigerator. The door will close easier if the leveling legs are extended.
7. The following are recommended minimum clearances around the refrigerator for proper air circulation:
8. Sides: 3/4" (19mm)
9. Top: 2" (50mm)

3. Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation. Protect the outside with a blanket or similar item.

POWER INTERRUPTION

In case of a power interruption/outage, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Replug the power cord to the wall outlet once the power has been restored. For long period of power outage, inspect and discard the spoiled or thawed foods from the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly before using again.

CARE AND CLEANING (cont.) TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer and thus increase energy consumption. Foods that refrigerate too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing in the refrigerator.
• The shelves should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towels. This will interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

You can solve many common appliance problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling the servicer.
