Kelvinator KI220TF Owner's Instructions Manual

Correct Positioning

For the purpose of safety, reliance, low power consumption

and durability of your fridge, please be sure to pay close

attention to the following:

Clearance Space Required for

Ventilation

Power Line Cord

Power Supply

Ventilation is required around the refrig-

erator to help with the dissipation of heat,

operate at maximum efficiency and at lower

power consumption. The recommended clear-

ance space should be at least 100mm for all

sides and 200mm from the top.

The power cord should not be lengthened

or folded while in operation. Please make sure

that the cord is accessible and any excess cord

is kept close to the compressor at the back of

the refrigerator. Make sure that the power cord

isn't damaged before plugging it into the power

socket.

220V

10%

The refrigerator is designed to only

operate on a power supply of 220/240 volts 50

hertz. Please make sure it is connected to a

power point with the correct earthed three-point

socket.

Protection from Moisture

Stable Positioning

Protection from Heat

Avoid placing the refrigerator in places

where heavy moisture is present. This is to

minimize the possibility of rust to any metal parts.

Please ensure that the refrigerator is place

on a flat, solid floor. It should not be place on any

soft surface. If the refrigerator is not on a stable

surface, adjust the feet on the bottom.

The refrigerator should not be placed near

any kind of heat source or in direct sunlight.

Keep Away from Danger

Moving

Beginning of Operation

Do not place the refrigerator near comb-

ustible or flammable substances such as gas,

petrol, alcohol, lacquer of oils.

When moving or relocating the refrigerator

try to avoid having the refrigerator tilt more than

degrees. At no point should the refrigerator

be turned upside down.

After the fridge has been placed in position,

wait 5 minutes before electricity is supplied.

Don't store anything inside until the temperature

of the fridge becomes low enough.

The power plug should always be dis­connected from the power outlet before
any cleaning or maintenance is carried out.

For cleaning do not use hot water,
petrol, alcohol, kerosene, washing powder,
cleanser, alkaline detergent, acid or
chemical clothes. Never directly spray the
refrigerator with water. This could cause rust
or waken the insulation.

The power plug should always be dis­connected from the power outlet before
any cleaning or maintenance is carried out.

Wipe the inner, outer and accessories
of the refrigerator only with luke warm water.
For heavier cleaning, use a small amount of
washing detergent in luke warm water, then
wipe down with water and dry with a clean
cloth.

Make sure that the rubber seals on the
door are clean and not damaged.

Avoid leaving oils and soluble on the
plastic parts of the refrigerator. Bad odours
can occur if not cleaned regularly.

Diagnosis and Removal of Troubles

Please Diagnose Troubles Correctly

The Following Phenomena Are Not Troubles

When the compressor is operating, the
normal temperature on its surface reaches
80~90℃.
There are heat pipes storing inside the
fridge to prevent "sweating" on its outer ca­sing which becomes a little warm. There is
a condensor, which is used to dissipate
heat, storing inside both of the inner-storing

side plates, so they are slightly warm too.
In a short period after the starting and
stopping of the compressor, a "ping-peng"
sound may be heard. This is because the
evaporator in the cold-storing chamber is
defrosting and water on the surface of the
evaporator is being condensed.
Sometimes there would be sounds of
running or boiling water . This results from
the flowing of cooling of liquid by cooling
equipment.

When the ambient relative humidity is
quite high, condensation would take place
on the surface of the fridge.This is a natural
phenomenon. Please wipe it off with a dry
cloth or move the fridge at the place where
there is good ventilation.

Is the power line cord out of the plug
socket?
Has the power circuit at your house fu­sed? Is there any trouble or wrong connec­tion with the circuit?
Is voltage correct (it should be 220~
240V)
Has the knob of the temperature re­gulator set at position "0"?

Not Refrigerating at all

Poor Refrigeration

Loud Noise

Frozen Food at Cold-storing
Chamber

Never Stopping Working

Is the knob of the temperature regulator

set properly?

Is food in the fridge piled too thick?
Is there any hot food in the fridge?
Were the doors opened too frequently

or were they not shut properly?

Is the fridge in a suitable place?

Is the floor solid or flat enough?
Is the fridge seated stably?
Does the fridge keep touch with other

objects or walls?

Is the knob of the temperature regulator
set properly or was it set to position
"7" for a long time?

Is there rich-watered food in the inside

of the shelf?

Is the ambient temperature too low (less

than 10℃)?

Is the knob of the temperature regulator

set to strongly refrigerating points (positions
6~7)?

Is there too much food put into the fridge

at one batch or is there any hot food in it? If
so, the compressor will not return to normal
starting or stopping time until it operates for
several hours.

Have the doors been opened too

frequently or not shut closely? Is the ambient
temperature too high?
After checking, if troubles still remain,it
is not advisable to dismantle any part of the
fridge by yourself and it should be overhauled
according to the instructions stipulated in the
guarantee card.

While the knob of temperature com­pensating switch is set to position"ON"
and the compressor stops operating, there
may still be a small reading on the kilowatt

-hour meter. This means that defrosting is
under way with only very small power con­sumption.

Warnings

1. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-instructure, clear of

obstruction.

2. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process,

other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

3. Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance,

unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

4. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer of its service agent

or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

5. Be cautious to cause fire when maintaining the refrigerator as the refrigerant and vesicant

are burnable. Useless and old refrigerators should be recycled and disposed by professional

companies.

7. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

6. Do not discard useless and old refrigerators at will in order to avoid environment pollution.

Thank you for your cooperation.

8. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit(applicable only for

appliances with refrigeration

circuits which are accessible to the user).
