Troubleshooting

The fridge is running warmer than usual

Check the rotary dial to ensure it is set to the correct cooling intensity and verify that the door is closing properly without any obstructions.

Excessive frost in the icebox

Ensure the icebox door is completely sealed and avoid leaving the fridge door open for extended periods, as humidity ingress causes frost.

The fridge is noisy or vibrating

Confirm the appliance is level on the floor. Use a spirit level to adjust the feet if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking retro design that serves as a stylish statement piece
  • Extremely quiet operation at 35dB
  • Compact footprint perfect for small kitchens or offices
  • Well-organized interior with adjustable shelving
  • Environmentally friendly R600a refrigerant

Cons

  • Non-reversible left-hand hinge limits placement options

  • Static cooling system requires manual maintenance compared to frost-free models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the Smeg FAB10LBL6, particularly regarding the hinge configuration.

  1. Clearance: You must maintain a 175mm gap on the left side of the fridge to ensure the door can open fully.
  2. Placement: Ensure the unit is on a level floor to prevent vibrations. Since it is a freestanding unit, do not enclose it in a tight cabinetry box that restricts airflow.
  3. Initial Power-up: After moving or installing the fridge, wait at least four hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
  4. Cleaning: Use a soft cloth with mild, non-abrasive detergent to clean the exterior glossy finish. Periodically clean the interior shelves and the vegetable drawer with warm, soapy water. Always defrost the internal icebox manually if frost build-up becomes visible to maintain energy efficiency.
