before the first use
3
Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging
material. Keep the material (plastic, polystyrene and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any
damage, possible from transportation. Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface. Make sure there is enough open space around
the appliance for the intake and/or outlet vents. A minimum clearance of 10 cm is required between the appliance and any adjacent
walls. The appliance needs good ventilation for easy dissipation of heat, high efficiency of refrigeration and low power consumption.
Note: check the climat class of the appliance. When installing the appliance in a environment that is not suitable, the appliance can
not function properly.
Leave the appliance to stand for at least 3 hours before you insert the plug into the socket.
First clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm water and a neutral detergent. After cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water and
rub dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours.

The appliance features internal controls. Check whether the thermostat is set on OFF/ setting 0. Check that the voltage in your home
corresponds with the voltage printed on the back of the appliance and plug it in a socket.
Temperature settings for the different models
KV1380/KV1430/KV1770
KV1530
Setting OFF = off
Setting 0 = off
Setting MIN = minimum - low cooling temperature
Setting 1 = lowest cooling temperature
Setting MED = medium - normal cooling temperature Setting 2
Setting MAX = maximum - high cooling temperature
Setting 3
Setting 4 = normal cooling temperature
Setting 5
Setting 6
Setting 7 = highest cooling temperature
Set the temperature with the thermostat and choose a setting between MIN and MAX. We advise to set the appliance on setting
MED or setting 4. The appliance now cools continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Do not place anything in the
appliance until the set temperature is reached. This usually takes 2 or 3 hours. Then set the thermostat at the desired setting and
place food into the larder.
Set the appliance on a higher setting when the ambient air temperature rises to maintain the temperature inside the appliance.
To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat to OFF/ setting 0.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, how often the door is opened and the position of the appliance can affect the internal temperature.
These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.
• Do not put hot food into the larder.
• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of explosion.
• It is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours.
• Leave sufficient space between the food to enable air to circulate correctly between them. Similarly, when storing them, avoid
puttin food items in contact with each other.
• Do not place food items in contact with the cold wall at the back of the appliance. The shelves have a stop to avoid this.
• The door should not be left open any longer than necessary.
