FAQs

What is the total capacity of this fridge?

The HOMCOM Under Counter Fridge has a total capacity of 85 liters, which includes a small chiller box section.

How noisy is this fridge?

It operates at a low noise level of approximately 40dB, thanks to its R600a compressor, making it suitable for quiet environments like bedrooms or offices.

Can I store frozen items in the chiller box?

The chiller box is designed for keeping pre-frozen items frozen for a short period or making small amounts of ice. It is not a full freezer compartment and will require manual defrosting.

What are the dimensions of the fridge?

The overall dimensions are 45.3W x 42.5D x 82.5H cm. Please allow extra space for proper ventilation.

How do I clean the interior of the fridge?

Unplug the fridge, then use a soft cloth with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent to wipe down all surfaces. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Is this fridge energy efficient?

Yes, it is rated as Energy E and consumes approximately 215 kWh per year, which is efficient for its class and size.

Can I change the door's opening direction?

Info needed: Please consult your product manual or manufacturer's specifications for information on reversible door hinges. This feature is not explicitly mentioned in the product description.

How much weight can the shelves hold?

Each glass shelf has a weight capacity of up to 15 kg. Please distribute items evenly and avoid overloading.

Troubleshooting

Fridge is not cooling or not cold enough.

Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the wall socket is working. Ensure the thermostat is set to an appropriate cooling level (try a colder setting). Verify the door is fully closed and the seal is intact. Avoid placing the fridge near heat sources or in direct sunlight. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.

Unusual noises coming from the fridge.

Ensure the fridge is level using the adjustable feet. Loose items inside the fridge or on top can vibrate; check and secure them. Normal operating noises include a faint hum from the compressor or gurgling sounds from refrigerant. If it's a loud or persistent rattling, contact customer support.

Excessive frost buildup in the chiller box.

This is normal for a manual defrost chiller box. Defrost the unit when frost reaches about 0.5 cm thickness. Ensure the door is not being opened too frequently or left open for extended periods, as this introduces humidity.

Water pooling inside the fridge.

Check if the drain hole (usually at the back of the interior) is clear of obstructions. A blocked drain hole can cause water to accumulate. Also, ensure containers with liquid are properly sealed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the fridge for any damage incurred during transit.
  2. Placement: Choose a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators). Ensure there's adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 10 cm clearance on sides and back).
  3. Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom of the fridge to ensure it is perfectly level. This is crucial for optimal operation, door sealing, and minimizing noise.
  4. Initial Power-Up: After placement, allow the fridge to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it into a grounded power outlet. This allows the compressor oils to settle.
  5. Temperature Set: Plug in the fridge and set the thermostat to your desired temperature. Allow 2-4 hours for the fridge to reach its stable operating temperature before loading it with food.

Compatibility

This under counter fridge is designed for indoor use in various small settings. Its compact dimensions (45.3W x 42.5D x 82.5H cm) make it suitable for:

  • Underneath countertops (ensure sufficient ventilation clearance).
  • Freestanding in small rooms, offices, or dormitories.
  • Recreational vehicles (RVs) and campers.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the fridge is unplugged before cleaning.
  • Defrosting: The chiller box will accumulate frost. Defrost manually when the frost layer becomes about 0.5 cm thick. Unplug the unit, remove contents, and allow the frost to melt naturally. Wipe dry before restarting.
  • Condenser Coils: Periodically clean the condenser coils at the back or underneath the unit (refer to manual for exact location) with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. This helps maintain energy efficiency.
  • Door Seal: Check the door seal regularly for cracks or gaps. A tight seal is vital for maintaining temperature and efficiency. Clean with warm water and mild soap.
  • Power Outages: During extended power outages, keep the fridge door closed as much as possible to maintain cold temperatures longer.
