FAQs

What is the total capacity of the Smeg FAB32RPG5UK?

The total gross capacity is 331 litres, with 234 litres for the fridge and 97 litres for the freezer.

What is the purpose of the Lifeplus 0°C drawer?

The Lifeplus 0°C drawer is a specialized compartment designed to keep highly perishable foods like fresh meat, fish, and dairy products at an optimal 0°C, significantly extending their shelf life.

Does the freezer require manual defrosting?

No, the freezer compartment features No Frost technology, meaning it automatically prevents ice build-up and does not require manual defrosting.

Are the doors reversible?

No, this model features fixed Right Hand Hinged Doors, which are not reversible.

How do I clean the interior of the fridge freezer?

Use a mild detergent mixed with warm water and a soft cloth to wipe down interior surfaces and shelves. Ensure surfaces are dry before placing food back inside. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What are the dimensions of this appliance?

The dimensions are HxWxD (mm) 1980 x 601 x 788.

What does the Multiflow cooling system do?

The Multiflow cooling system ensures a consistent and even temperature distribution throughout the fridge compartment. This helps maintain optimal humidity levels and keeps all your food fresher for longer.

What kind of lighting does it have?

The fridge compartment is equipped with bright LED lighting on both sides, providing optimal illumination for clear visibility of all contents.

Troubleshooting

Appliance is not cooling effectively.

Check if the power plug is securely inserted and if the circuit breaker has tripped. Ensure the temperature settings on the digital LED display are appropriate and that the door is closing completely without obstruction. Verify that the appliance has sufficient ventilation around it.

Excessive noise or vibration.

Ensure the fridge freezer is level by adjusting its feet. Check that it is not touching a wall or other appliances, which can cause vibrations. Loud humming might be normal for a compressor, but persistent or unusual noises may require professional inspection.

Water pooling inside the fridge.

Check the drain hole at the back of the fridge interior (usually above the vegetable drawer) for blockages. Use a small, soft tool (like a pipe cleaner) to clear any debris. Ensure food items are not blocking air vents, which can disrupt airflow and cause condensation.

Food freezing in the main fridge compartment.

Adjust the fridge temperature setting to a slightly warmer level. Ensure that food items are not placed directly against the back wall or too close to the Multiflow vents, especially items sensitive to cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Placement: Before plugging in, allow the fridge freezer to stand upright for at least 4 hours to let the refrigerant settle. Choose a location with sufficient space for the appliance's dimensions (1980mm H x 601mm W x 788mm D), ensuring adequate ventilation around the back and sides. A minimum of 10cm clearance at the rear is recommended for efficient cooling.
  2. Door Clearance: Given the fixed Right Hand Hinged Doors, ensure there is ample space for the door to open fully to access drawers and shelves without obstruction.
  3. Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure the appliance is perfectly level. Adjust the feet as necessary to prevent vibrations and ensure proper door sealing.
  4. Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a grounded electrical outlet. Allow it to run empty for a few hours before loading with food to reach the desired temperature.

Compatibility

This fridge freezer requires a standard electrical outlet. Its generous dimensions and fixed right-hand door hinge should be factored into your kitchen layout planning.

Care & Maintenance

  1. Interior Cleaning: Regularly wipe down interior surfaces, including adjustable glass shelves and the fruit & veg drawer, with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure all surfaces are dry before replacing food.
  2. Exterior Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel or chrome finishes, use a specialized cleaner if recommended by Smeg. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  3. No Frost Freezer: The freezer compartment is No Frost and does not require manual defrosting. However, occasionally check for any debris that might block air vents.
  4. Door Seals: Periodically inspect door seals for cleanliness and damage. Clean with warm water and a soft cloth to ensure they remain flexible and create a tight seal.
