FAQs

What is the FreshSafe drawer for?

The FreshSafe drawer is designed to maintain an optimal humidity level, which helps to keep your fresh fruits and vegetables crisp and extend their shelf life significantly.

How often do I need to defrost the freezer?

Thanks to LowFrost technology, you will need to defrost less frequently than with conventional freezers, typically once or twice a year, or when ice build-up is about 3-5mm thick. The process will also be quicker and easier.

Can I change which way the doors open?

Yes, this model features reversible doors, allowing you to change the hinge position from right to left (or vice versa) to best suit your kitchen layout.

What are the required dimensions for installation?

This integrated fridge freezer requires a niche of `177.5 cm (H) x 56 cm (W) x 55 cm (D)` for proper installation into your kitchen cabinetry.

Is the lighting inside energy efficient?

Yes, the interior is illuminated by bright and energy-efficient LED lights, which consume less power and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional bulbs.

What is the annual energy consumption?

The appliance has an annual energy consumption of `216 kWh/a`, placing it in energy efficiency class E.

What does a 35 dB noise level mean?

A noise level of 35 dB (Noise Emission Class B) indicates that the appliance operates very quietly, making it suitable for open-plan living spaces where noise reduction is appreciated.

Troubleshooting

Appliance not cooling / not turning on.

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the wall socket. Ensure the socket itself is working (try another appliance). Verify the thermostat setting is not set to 'off' or too high. Allow sufficient time for the appliance to reach operating temperature after initial setup or defrosting.

Excessive ice build-up in the freezer despite LowFrost.

Check if the freezer door is sealing properly; a gap can let warm air in. Avoid leaving the door open for extended periods. Ensure food items are not blocking the door from closing fully. Reduce the frequency of opening the door. Also, check that hot food isn't being placed directly into the freezer.

Water pooling inside the fridge.

This often indicates a blocked drain hole at the back of the fridge. Use a soft pipe cleaner or cotton swab to gently clear any debris. Ensure food items are not touching the back wall of the fridge, which can cause condensation to freeze and then melt.

Fridge temperature too warm / food spoiling quickly.

Verify the thermostat setting is appropriate for your needs. Avoid overloading the fridge, which restricts air circulation. Check door seals for leaks. Ensure the appliance isn't placed near a direct heat source (e.g., oven, direct sunlight).

Appliance is making unusual noises.

Normal operating noises include gurgling (refrigerant), clicking (thermostat), or humming (compressor). If it's a new, louder noise, check if the appliance is level (adjust feet). Ensure nothing is vibrating against the unit. Contact customer support if the noise is excessively loud or grinding.

FreshSafe drawer not keeping produce fresh.

Ensure the drawer isn't overfilled, which can prevent proper air and humidity circulation. Check if the humidity slider (if present on your model) is set correctly for fruits or vegetables. Make sure the drawer is properly closed and sealed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Optimal Freshness: FreshSafe drawer extends the life of fruits and vegetables.
Flexible Installation: Reversible doors adapt to various kitchen designs.
Reduced Maintenance: LowFrost technology simplifies freezer defrosting.
Quiet Operation: Low noise level of 35 dB (Noise Emission Class B) ensures a peaceful kitchen environment.
Ample Storage: Combined 270-litre capacity is suitable for significant grocery loads.

Cons

Energy Efficiency: Class E rating means higher energy consumption compared to A/B/C rated models.
Integrated Installation: Requires specific niche dimensions and professional integration into cabinetry, which can be more complex than freestanding units.
Not NoFrost: While LowFrost reduces ice, it still requires occasional manual defrosting, unlike a full NoFrost system.
Temperature Rise Time: A 12-hour temperature rise time is average; some premium models offer longer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation & Setup

This is an integrated appliance, meaning it's designed to be built into your kitchen cabinetry for a sleek, flush look. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct fit and function. The appliance requires a specific niche of `177.5 cm (H) x 56 cm (W) x 55 cm (D)`. Ensure these dimensions are met precisely for a seamless integration.

Door Reversal: The doors are reversible, allowing you to change the hinge side to open from the left or right, depending on your kitchen layout. This flexibility should be considered during installation planning.

Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect for any transit damage.
Positioning: Place the unit near its intended niche, ensuring adequate ventilation space at the rear as per installation manual.
Electrical Connection: Connect to a `220-240V` power supply. Ensure the socket is easily accessible.
Integrated Fitting: Secure the appliance within the kitchen cabinet niche using the provided fittings. Attach your kitchen cabinet door panels to the appliance doors.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet to ensure the appliance is perfectly level, preventing door misalignment and improving efficiency.
Initial Power-On: After installation, allow the appliance to stand for a few hours before plugging it in. Run it empty for a few hours to reach operating temperature before loading with food.

Compatibility

Niche Dimensions: Crucial for integrated installation. The required niche size is `177.5 cm (H) x 56 cm (W) x 55 cm (D)`. Deviations can prevent proper fitting.
Climate Class: Rated SN-ST, meaning it's designed to operate efficiently in ambient temperatures ranging from `10°C to 38°C`.

Care & Maintenance

Regular care ensures optimal performance and longevity:

Cleaning the Interior: Regularly wipe down the interior with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Remove and clean shelves, door trays, and the FreshSafe drawer separately.
Defrosting the Freezer: Thanks to LowFrost, defrosting is needed less frequently. When ice thickness reaches about 3-5mm, it's time to defrost. Follow these steps:

Switch off the appliance at the mains.
Remove all food, placing it in a cool box.
Leave the freezer door open and place towels at the base to absorb melting water.
Once defrosted, clean the interior and dry thoroughly before switching back on.

Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. For stainless steel, use specialized cleaner if applicable to prevent smudges.
Door Seals: Regularly check door seals for damage and ensure they are clean. A tight seal is crucial for energy efficiency and maintaining internal temperatures.
Condenser Coils: For optimal efficiency, periodically clean the condenser coils (located at the back of the unit) using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Refer to your manual for exact location and procedure.
