FAQs

Does this fridge have a freezer compartment?

No, the Igenix IGTL055W is a freestanding tall larder fridge, which means it is designed exclusively for chilled food storage and does not include a freezer compartment.

How do I reverse the door opening direction?

The door is reversible to suit your kitchen layout. Detailed instructions for reversing the door are provided in your user manual. This process typically involves carefully removing and repositioning hinges and the door handle to the opposite side.

What is the energy rating of this fridge?

This fridge has an E energy efficiency class. On the pre-2021 energy rating scale, this would be equivalent to an A++, indicating it is a highly energy-efficient appliance designed to save on electricity costs.

How loud is this fridge?

The Igenix Tall Larder Fridge operates at a very low noise level of 40dB (decibels), which is considered whisper-quiet. This makes it suitable for open-plan living areas without causing significant disturbance.

How often should I clean the interior of the fridge?

For optimal hygiene and to prevent odors, it is recommended to clean the interior of your fridge every 1-3 months, or immediately after any spills. Use a mild detergent and warm water, and always unplug the fridge before cleaning.

Can I store hot food in the fridge?

No, always allow hot or warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the fridge. Putting hot food directly into the fridge can raise the internal temperature, affect other stored items, and make the compressor work harder, using more energy.

Troubleshooting

Fridge is not cooling or not cold enough.

First, check that the fridge is properly plugged into a working power outlet and the thermostat dial is set to an appropriate temperature. Ensure the door is closing completely and the seal is intact. Also, check that there is adequate space around the fridge for ventilation and that the vents are not blocked.

Excessive noise from the fridge.

Check if the fridge is level using the adjustable feet; an uneven surface can cause vibrations. Ensure no items inside or around the fridge are touching the back wall or side panels, as this can amplify noise. Verify that the appliance is not touching any other furniture or walls.

Water pooling inside the fridge or in the salad crisper.

Check the drain hole (usually at the back of the fridge interior, above the compressor) for any blockages from food particles. Use a small, soft wire or pipe cleaner to gently clear it. Also, ensure the door is not being left open for extended periods, which can increase condensation, and verify the door seal is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Placement: Choose a suitable location away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like ovens or radiators), and extreme cold. Ensure there's adequate ventilation space around the back and sides of the fridge.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom of the fridge to ensure it is perfectly level. This prevents excessive noise, improves door sealing, and ensures efficient operation. Turn the feet clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to lower.
Power Connection: After positioning and leveling, plug the fridge into a dedicated power outlet. Allow the fridge to stand for at least 4 hours before turning it on and loading with food, to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Reversible Door: The door comes pre-installed to open in one direction. If your kitchen layout requires the door to open from the opposite side, refer to the detailed instructions in your user manual for reversing the door. This process typically involves moving hinges and the door handle to the opposite side.

Compatibility

Dimensions: With dimensions of H:142.0 x W:55.0 x D:55.0 cm, this fridge is designed to fit into most standard kitchen spaces without compromising on internal storage.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior of your fridge to maintain hygiene and efficiency. Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a mild detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth for interior surfaces. Wipe down shelves, door balconies, and the salad crisper. The exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Defrosting: As a larder fridge, the cooling element may accumulate frost over time. Periodically defrost the fridge to ensure optimal cooling efficiency. Refer to your user manual for detailed defrosting instructions. This typically involves emptying the fridge, unplugging it, and allowing the frost to melt naturally, collecting the water in a towel.
Door Seal: Regularly inspect the door seal for any signs of wear or damage. A tight seal is crucial for maintaining internal temperature and energy efficiency. Clean the seal with warm water and a soft cloth.
Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation grills at the back of the fridge remain clear and free from obstructions to allow proper airflow and prevent overheating.
