This document is an instruction manual for a Bosch Refrigerator, model KSV... It provides comprehensive information on the appliance's safety, installation, operation, features, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The Bosch Refrigerator is designed for chilling food in private households and enclosed domestic environments. It operates within specific climate classes and permitted room temperatures, ranging from 10 °C to 43 °C depending on the model. The appliance features a refrigerator compartment where the temperature can be set between 2 °C and 8 °C, with 4 °C being the recommended setting for optimal food preservation. It also includes a "Super cooling" function to rapidly cool the compartment, useful when introducing large quantities of new food. The refrigerator automatically defrosts the rear panel, with condensation draining into an evaporation pan.

Usage Features

The appliance is controlled via a control panel that allows users to switch the appliance on/off, set the refrigerator compartment temperature, and activate/deactivate "Super cooling." An alarm function is present, specifically a door alarm that sounds if the appliance door remains open for an extended period.

The interior is equipped with various storage solutions:

Shelves: These can be pulled out for improved overview and easier food removal. They are also height-adjustable and can be removed and re-inserted elsewhere to accommodate different item sizes.
Bottle shelf: Designed to securely store bottles. Like the regular shelves, it can be removed and repositioned.
Fruit and vegetable container: This compartment is for storing fresh produce. Users are advised to cover chopped items or store them in air-tight packaging to prevent condensation. For produce sensitive to cold (e.g., pineapple, bananas, citrus fruits), storage outside the appliance at 8 °C to 12 °C is recommended.
Fruit and vegetable container with humidity control: This advanced container allows users to adjust the air humidity using a controller and a special seal. This feature helps extend the freshness of fruits and vegetables for up to twice as long compared to conventional storage. Low humidity is recommended for primarily storing fruit or mixed items, or when the appliance is very full. High humidity is suitable for storing vegetables or when the appliance is not very full.
Butter and cheese compartment: A dedicated space for storing butter and hard cheese.
Door racks: These are height-adjustable to accommodate various items. To move them down, both side buttons must be pressed simultaneously. They can be moved up without pressing the buttons.
Egg tray: Provided for safe storage of eggs.

The appliance is designed for ease of use, with clear instructions on how to operate its various functions. It is important to allow warm food and drinks to cool down before storing them and to leave some space between food items and the back panel to ensure proper air circulation.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning and servicing are crucial for maintaining the appliance's efficiency and longevity. The manual provides detailed steps for preparing the appliance for cleaning, which involves switching it off, disconnecting it from the power supply, removing all food, and taking out all fittings and accessories.

Key maintenance tasks include:

Cleaning the appliance interior: This should be done with a dishcloth, lukewarm water, and a pH-neutral washing-up liquid. Hard scouring pads, abrasive detergents, or cleaning products with high alcohol content should not be used as they can damage surfaces. Fittings and accessories should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the condensation channel and drainage hole: These need regular cleaning to ensure proper drainage of condensation and prevent odors. A cotton bud can be used for this purpose.
Removing fittings and appliance components: Instructions are provided for removing shelves, door racks, and fruit/vegetable containers to facilitate thorough cleaning. This includes specific steps for removing the shelf above the fruit and vegetable container and the fruit and vegetable containers themselves, which may involve pressing latches or lifting components.

The manual also emphasizes safety during maintenance, particularly regarding the risk of electric shock and avoiding the use of steam or high-pressure cleaners. For inaccessible points, professional cleaning by Customer Service is recommended, though this may incur costs.

In case of faults, the manual offers troubleshooting advice for common issues such as the appliance not cooling, LED lighting not working, error messages on the display, or unusual noises. It also describes how to conduct an appliance self-test to identify faults that may require customer service intervention. For disposal, the manual provides instructions on how to safely take the appliance out of operation and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner, highlighting the importance of preventing children from getting trapped inside old appliances.
