Product Description
Amica EVKS 16162 Manual: Compact Cooling Made Simple
A smart, space‑saving fridge for everyday kitchens
The Amica EVKS 16162 is a compact built‑in refrigerator designed for households that want reliable cooling without fuss. With a 142‑liter net capacity, adjustable glass shelves, and a dedicated vegetable compartment, it organizes daily groceries efficiently. An incandescent interior light and intuitive control knob keep operation straightforward for users of all ages.
Practical design, dependable performance
Engineered for N–ST climate classes, the EVKS 16162 runs quietly at about 41 dB and sips power with an A+ energy efficiency rating (around 120 kWh/year). The temperature control offers settings from OFF to 6, letting you fine‑tune cooling for seasonal changes and grocery loads. Auto‑defrost on the rear wall helps reduce manual maintenance, while door balconies, an egg tray, and sturdy glass shelves maximize usable space.
Installation is flexible: the door hinge can be reversed, and minimum clearances from nearby heat sources help preserve efficiency. Once leveled on a stable surface and connected to a grounded 230V/50Hz outlet, the fridge delivers consistent temperatures—just avoid loading it until it’s fully cooled (about 4 hours). Routine care is simple: keep vents clear, wipe seals, and replace the E14 bulb (max 15 W) when needed.
The EVKS 16162 suits small kitchens, studios, offices, and secondary spaces where quiet operation, tidy storage, and low running costs matter. If you’re seeking a no‑nonsense fridge that balances footprint with functionality, this model is an easy recommendation for everyday use.
Notes:
- For best efficiency, keep the fridge at 6–8°C and the freezer compartment at −18°C (if present).
- Store delicate foods in the cold zone above the crisper; use upper door shelves for butter and cheese.\nA compact, built-in refrigerator that prioritizes value and generous storage, especially due to the absence of a freezer compartment. Installation is straightforward, including reversible doors, and delivery is frequently praised for speed and care. The interior offers practical glass shelves, a large crisper, and an efficient layout that suits everyday needs; door bins, however, can feel flimsy and low, making them less secure for bottles. Day-to-day operation is generally quiet or unobtrusive, with cooling performance described as solid and consistent. Some units exhibit condensation and a weak interior light, minor compromises at this price point. A few users note door resistance when closing and occasional squeaks, usually attributed to cabinetry alignment. Build quality feels robust for the cost, with many highlighting a strong price-to-performance ratio and reliable operation over one to two years. On the downside, multiple reports mention noticeable noise levels in certain setups, and one long-term experience points to a complete failure after about three years, raising concerns about durability and potential service costs. Documentation is considered sparse for initial startup. Overall, it delivers ample space, easy integration, and quiet cooling for most households, excelling as a primary budget option or a spacious secondary unit, while buyers should be mindful of variable noise, lighter door shelving, and uncertain longevity.
