  Victoria HawkinsAug 31, 2025
  If the door on your Kelvinator Refrigerator is hard to open immediately after closing, it's likely due to pressure equalizing. The door should open normally after a few minutes. If the door is difficult to open just after you have closed it this is due to the pressure equalising, the door will open normally after a few minutes.

  If the freezer door of your Kelvinator Refrigerator pops open, this is normal and should re-close, especially if the refrigerator door was closed quickly. However, if the freezer door stays open, it indicates that the appliance needs to be tilted backwards a little further. This happens when the refrigerator door is closed too quickly. If the freezer door stays open, it indicates that the appliance needs to be tilted backwards a little further.

This document is a user manual for Kelvinator refrigerators, covering both Top Mount and Bottom Mount models. It provides comprehensive information on the appliance's features, installation, usage, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The Kelvinator refrigerator is designed for domestic use, providing refrigeration and freezing capabilities for food storage. It operates by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air, maintaining optimal temperatures for preserving various food items. The appliance utilizes a high-speed compressor and energy-efficient components to ensure effective cooling.

Usage Features

Temperature Control: Both Top Mount and Bottom Mount models feature temperature controls for the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Users can adjust these controls to set desired average temperatures. For Top Mount models, the freezer temperature control allows settings from "Less Cold" to "Colder," with recommendations for different ambient temperatures (e.g., "Set to less cold" for summer, "Set to colder" for winter). The refrigerator temperature control also offers "Less Cold" and "Colder" settings. For Bottom Mount models, similar "Less Cold" and "Colder" settings are available for both freezer and refrigerator compartments, with recommendations for summer and winter use. It is advised to make small adjustments and wait 24 hours to observe the effect. Checking the softness of ice cream indicates the freezer temperature, while water temperature indicates the refrigerator compartment temperature.

Storage Features:

Glass Shelves (SpillSafe™): These shelves are designed to improve visibility and contain spills, preventing liquids from dripping onto shelves below. They can be gently pulled forward for removal and pushed back into position.
Crisper Bin: Located in the refrigerator compartment, the crisper is used for storing vegetables, fruits, or small goods. It can be removed by pulling it forward, then up and forward again. For Top Mount models, the crisper shelf may need to be lifted to remove the bin.
Freezer Shelves: Available in the freezer compartment, these shelves can be removed by lifting catches on the underside and pulling them forward.
Door Bins:
- Freezer Door Bin (Top Mount): This bin can be removed by lifting it over the support lugs and replaced by pushing down until locked.
- FlexStor™ Door Bins: These bins are designed to slide, allowing for flexible storage arrangements. They can be removed by lifting and tilting, and replaced by tilting the top and pushing down until locked.
- Door Storage Bin: Similar to the freezer door bin, this can be removed by lifting it over support lugs and replaced by pushing down.
- Bottle Storage Bin: Specifically for tall bottles, this bin can be removed by lifting it over support lugs and replaced by pushing down.
Ice Cube Tray: Included for making ice cubes. It should be filled with potable water only.
Wire Baskets (Bottom Mount): These are found in the freezer compartment of Bottom Mount models for organized storage.

Lighting: The refrigerator is fitted with long-life LED lighting, which turns on gradually.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's appearance and hygiene.

Doors and Exterior (White and Silver): Clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.
Stainless Steel: The mark-resistant stainless steel exterior should be cleaned regularly with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth to maintain its appearance and remove fingerprints and water spots. Abrasive pads or cleaners that could scratch the surface should be avoided.
Interior: Clean the inside with a soft cloth, unscented mild soap, and lukewarm water. All surfaces and removable parts should be thoroughly dried, and water should be kept away from controls.
Door Seals: Keep door seals clean with a mild detergent and warm water, followed by thorough drying, to prevent sticky food from causing them to stick to the cabinet and tear.
Crisper and Freezer Bins with Telescopic Extension Slides: Wipe with a damp cloth and warm soapy water. Do not immerse the cover in water.
General Cleaning Advice: Avoid hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers, as these can damage the refrigerator.

Switching Off for Extended Periods: If the refrigerator is to be switched off for a long time, users should:

Remove all food.
Unplug the power cord.
Thoroughly clean and dry the interior.
Wedge all doors open slightly to allow for air circulation and prevent mold growth.

Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues such as:

Appliance not operating at desired temperature: Solutions include ensuring food is cooled before placing it in the refrigerator, checking temperature control settings, ensuring vents are not obstructed, and verifying that doors are not held open or opened too frequently.
Appliance noise: Explains normal operating sounds like compressor running, fan motor noise, gurgling, popping, and clicking, and advises checking for rattling noises caused by an uneven cabinet or vibrating contents.
Crisper operation issues: Addresses excess moisture buildup (ensure not over-packed), difficulty removing the crisper bin (remove door bins if interfering, ensure door opens fully), and freezing items (adjust to warmer setting).
Refrigerator operation issues: Covers the appliance not running (check power, circuit breaker, defrost mode), compressor running too long (normal for warm food or new installation), warm exterior (normal heat transfer), frost buildup (check door closure, vents, seals), odors (clean interior, check food storage), and lights not working (check power, circuit breaker, lighting configuration).
Door operation issues: Addresses freezer door popping open (normal if closed too quickly, check tilt), self-closing not working (check hinges, tilt), door not sealing properly (check obstructions, crisper/freezer bin closure), and door difficult to open/close (normal pressure equalization, check setup).

Installation: The manual provides detailed instructions for unpacking, locating, and installing the refrigerator, including recommended clearances for ventilation and leveling procedures using height-adjusting nuts and stability feet. It emphasizes the importance of proper earthing and avoiding damage to the refrigerant circuit.
