Overview

This document serves as a user manual for a Bosch Refrigerator, specifically models in the KSV series. It provides comprehensive instructions for safe operation, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.

Function Description:

The Bosch Refrigerator is designed for chilling food in private households and enclosed domestic environments, up to an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level. Its primary function is to maintain a cool temperature, preserving the freshness and quality of various food items. The appliance features a refrigerator compartment with adjustable temperature settings, typically ranging from 2 °C to 8 °C, with a recommended temperature of 4 °C for general use. It includes specialized storage zones such as a butter and cheese compartment, door racks, and fruit and vegetable containers, some with humidity control, to cater to different food storage needs. The "Super cooling" function allows for rapid cooling of the refrigerator compartment, ideal for quickly chilling large quantities of newly added food. An alarm system, including a door alarm, alerts users to potential issues, such as an open door, to prevent temperature fluctuations and energy waste.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual refers to the rating plate for specific technical data, including refrigerant type, cubic capacity, and climate class. The climate class dictates the permitted room temperature for optimal operation:

  • SN: 10 °C to 32 °C
  • N: 16 °C to 32 °C
  • ST: 16 °C to 38 °C
  • T: 16 °C to 43 °C Appliances with climate class SN can operate effectively down to 5 °C. The weight of the appliance can be up to 75 kg, requiring a stable subfloor for installation. The appliance contains a light source from energy efficiency class G, which is replaceable by trained specialist staff. Further model-specific information, including the model identifier, can be found on the EU EPREL product database.

Usage Features:

The refrigerator is operated via a control panel that allows users to switch the appliance on/off, set the temperature, and activate/deactivate the "Super cooling" function. The temperature display shows the set temperature in °C. The door alarm can be silenced by closing the door or pressing the alarm button. For efficient use, it's recommended to allow warm food and drinks to cool before storing, and to thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment to utilize its low temperature. The fruit and vegetable container with humidity control offers enhanced preservation, allowing fresh produce to be stored for up to twice as long. The humidity can be adjusted using a controller: low humidity for fruit or a very full container, and high humidity for vegetables or mixed items. The internal layout is flexible, with height-adjustable shelves and door racks that can be repositioned to accommodate various item sizes.

Maintenance Features:

Regular cleaning and servicing are crucial for maintaining the appliance's efficiency. The manual outlines a detailed cleaning process:

  1. Preparation: Switch off and disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Remove all food, fittings, and accessories.
  2. Cleaning: Clean the appliance, fittings, accessories, and door seals with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and a pH-neutral washing-up liquid. Avoid using steam/high-pressure cleaners, hard scouring pads, abrasive detergents, or products with high alcohol content. Fittings and accessories should not be cleaned in a dishwasher to prevent deformation or discoloration.
  3. Condensation Channel: Regularly clean the condensation channel and drainage hole with a moistened cotton bud to ensure proper drainage and prevent odors.
  4. Reassembly: Dry all components thoroughly, reinsert fittings, and reconnect the appliance to the power supply. The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically, with condensation draining into an evaporation pan. The manual also provides instructions for conducting an appliance self-test to diagnose minor faults and advises contacting customer service for more complex issues or damaged components. For storage, the appliance should be switched off, unplugged, cleaned, and left open to ensure ventilation and prevent mold formation. Instructions for environmentally friendly disposal of the old appliance are also provided, emphasizing the importance of preventing children from locking themselves inside and avoiding damage to the refrigerant circuit.
