This document describes a Bosch fridge freezer, model KGN.., offering comprehensive guidance on its functions, usage, and maintenance.
The Bosch fridge freezer is a combined appliance designed for cooling and freezing foodstuffs, as well as for making ice cream. It features a refrigerator compartment (cold room) and a freezer compartment (freezer room). The appliance utilizes an environmentally friendly, but flammable, refrigerant (R600a) in its cooling circuit, which does not harm the ozone layer or contribute to the greenhouse effect. The cooling circuit is checked for leaks to ensure safety and efficiency.
The appliance is designed for specific climate classes, indicating the range of ambient temperatures in which it can operate effectively. This information is available on the type plate. The NoFrost system in the freezer compartment automatically prevents ice formation, eliminating the need for manual defrosting.
The fridge freezer incorporates several control features:
The appliance also includes alarm functions:
For energy efficiency, the appliance offers an "eco" function that sets the freezer compartment to -16 °C. The super freezing function allows for rapid freezing of fresh food, preserving vitamins, nutritional value, appearance, and taste. This function can be activated a few hours before adding fresh food to prevent unwanted temperature rises and switches off automatically after 2.5 days.
Before initial use, it is recommended to wait at least one hour after installation to allow the compressor oil to settle. The interior of the appliance should be cleaned before first use.
Connecting the Device: The appliance requires connection to an installed 220-240 V/50 Hz AC outlet with a ground wire, protected by a 10 A to 16 A fuse. The mains socket should be easily accessible. The use of multiple outlets or extension cords is not recommended.
Switching On and Setting Temperature: To switch on, plug in the mains plug. An alarm signal will sound, and the temperature display will flash. Pressing the temperature setting button will turn off the alarm. The temperature display will light up once the freezer compartment reaches the set temperature.
Storing Food:
Freezing Fresh Foods:
Defrosting Frozen Foods: Frozen foods can be defrosted at ambient temperature, in the fridge, in an electric oven (with or without hot air fan), or in the microwave.
Special Features:
Switching Off and Decommissioning:
Cleaning the Device:
Troubleshooting Minor Faults: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues, such as temperature discrepancies, warning signals, and lighting problems. For example, if the temperature is too hot, check if the temperature setting is appropriate. If the door alarm sounds, close the device. If the side walls are warm, this is normal due to cooling pipes. If the lighting is not working, check if the door was open too long or if the LED lighting is broken.
Preventing Noises:
Energy Saving Tips:
For repairs or advice, contact customer service. Only trained specialists should perform repairs to maintain warranty validity and safety. Original replacement parts are available for at least 10 years from the device's market placement.
