Kelvinator KCFH43B, Operating And Installation Manual

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.

WHEN NOT IN USE

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Remove all goods from the freezer. Clean the freezer as described above. Leave the lid
slightly open.

IF YOUR FREEZER DOES NOT FUNCTION SATISFACTORILY

Check the following before calling for service staff:

Defect:

Freezer not

cold enough

Too much frost

formed

Check if:

Temperature of stored

foods increases

(becomes hoter).

Lid does not close

completely

Lot of moisture in the

room 

Goods packed poorly

Possible cause:

Plug not connected correctly

Defect in switch or fuse

Power failure

Lid in contact with goods in free-

zer

Moisture from washing machine,

tumble-dryer, etc.

Lot of moisture from goods

Action:

Check plug and socket

Check fuse, call electrician

Wait until current returns

Re-arrange goods, check that lid closes

correctly

Move freezer to a room with less moistu-

re, or air regularly

Re-pack goods, see under “How to use”

If you are still unable to solve the problem, summon the assistance of authorised service staff. Do not take any other steps. Incorrect procedure
may cause personal injury or lead to additional defects. It is quite normal for the freezer to seem warm on the outside occasionally, owing to the
heat generated by the freezing process. This heat also helps to prevent the formation of moisture on the outside of the appliance which could
cause rust. If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the compressor may not start immediately when the current is re-connected. This is quite
normal.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician
or competent person. This appliance must be earthed.

The manufacturer declines any liability

should these safety measures not be observed. Electrical Requirements

Before switching on, make

sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The appliance
is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted.  In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp
ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse must be used.Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason.  The wires
in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow:

Earth

Blue:

Neutral

Brown:

Live

The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter "E" or by the earth symbol 

or

coloured green and yellow. The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal "N" or coloured black.  The wire coloured brown
must be connected to the terminal marked "L" or coloured red. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire pres-
ent and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.

IN THE CASE OF A POWER FAILURE OR BREAKDOWN

The hold-over period mentioned in the "Technical Specification" section of this book refers to an estimated time the freezer temperature will take
to rise to an unacceptable level for keeping frozen foods.
Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does not exceed the hold-over period there will be no risk of damage to the frozen food, pro-
viding you do not open the lid during this period.
If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will reduce the hold-over time.
After the breakdown period you are recommended to check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to thaw. Frozen food must NOT be
re-frozen once it has thawed out. The following guidelines should assist you.

Ice cream:

Once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables:

If soft should be cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes:

Can be re-frozen without danger.

Shellfish:

Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes:

ie. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat:

Can be re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints:

Should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: 

Should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.
