FAQs
What is the total capacity of the fridge?
The Swan Retro Under Counter Fridge has a total capacity of 90 litres, split into a 77-litre refrigerator section and a 13-litre freezer compartment.
What is its energy efficiency rating?
This appliance has an E energy efficiency rating, indicating economical operation.
Can the door be reversed to open from the other side?
Info needed: The product information does not specify if the door is reversible. Please consult the product manual for this detail.
How often should I defrost the freezer section?
The small freezer section will likely require manual defrosting. It's recommended to defrost when the ice accumulation reaches approximately 5mm (0.2 inches) to maintain efficiency.
What kind of interior storage does it have?
The fridge interior includes one glass shelf, three door shelves for bottles and smaller items, and a dedicated salad drawer to keep produce fresh.
How long should I wait after delivery before plugging it in?
It is recommended to let the fridge stand upright for at least 4 hours after delivery before plugging it in. This allows the compressor oils to settle properly for optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Fridge not cooling or cooling insufficiently.
Check if the fridge is plugged in and the power outlet is working. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the door is closing properly and the seal is intact. Avoid overloading the fridge, which can restrict airflow. Make sure there is adequate space around the appliance for ventilation.
Excessive frost build-up in the freezer compartment.
This is common for small, likely manual defrost freezers. Ensure the freezer door is fully closed and the seal is tight. Avoid leaving the door open for extended periods. Defrost the freezer regularly when frost reaches about 5mm thickness. Ensure hot foods are cooled before placing them inside.
Fridge making unusual noises (e.g., loud humming, rattling).
Check if the fridge is leveled correctly using the adjustable feet. Ensure the appliance is not touching a wall or other furniture that could cause rattling. Normal operating noises include a gentle hum from the compressor and gurgling sounds from the refrigerant. If the noise is loud or unusual, check the fan (if accessible) for obstructions or contact support.
Water pooling inside the fridge or under the salad drawer.
This often indicates a blocked drain hole at the back of the fridge interior (above the salad drawer). Clear the drain hole with a thin object like a pipe cleaner or cotton swab to allow condensed water to flow to the evaporation tray. Ensure food items are not touching the back wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Keep packaging for potential future transport or return.
Positioning: Place the fridge on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the back and sides as specified in the product manual. This model is designed to fit under standard kitchen worktops.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom to ensure the appliance is perfectly level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
Settle: After positioning, allow the fridge to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the compressor oils to settle, ensuring optimal performance.
Power Connection: Plug the fridge into a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords.
Initial Cooling: Set the thermostat to the desired temperature and allow the fridge to cool for several hours (typically 2-4 hours) before loading it with food.
Compatibility
Under-Counter Fit: Specifically designed to slide beneath most standard kitchen worktops.
Electrical: Compatible with standard household electrical outlets (voltage specification not provided, assume standard for region).
Care
Cleaning:
Interior: Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water to wipe down interior surfaces, shelves, and door seals. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Dry thoroughly.
Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Polish the metal handle with a soft, dry cloth.
Defrosting (Freezer): As this model has a small freezer compartment, it likely requires manual defrosting. When ice accumulation reaches approximately 5mm (0.2 inches), turn off the appliance, remove food, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Place towels or a tray to catch water. Never use sharp objects to remove ice.
Door Seal: Regularly check the door seals for cleanliness and damage. A clean, intact seal ensures efficient cooling and prevents energy loss.
Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings at the back and sides of the appliance are kept clear and unobstructed to maintain optimal performance and energy efficiency.
Power Off for Long Periods: If you will be away for an extended period, empty the fridge, unplug it, clean it thoroughly, and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold.
