Its key benefit is the vibrant pastel green aesthetic combined with a generous 294-litre capacity and effective Multi-Flow cooling.

Troubleshooting

Fridge not cooling sufficiently

Check that the temperature is set correctly. Ensure the door is closing properly and not being held open by food items. Verify that the air vents inside are not blocked. Clean condenser coils if accessible.

Freezer is building up excessive ice

This indicates the need for manual defrosting. Ensure the freezer door is sealing correctly and not left ajar. Avoid placing hot foods directly into the freezer.

Appliance is making unusual noises

Some noise is normal, especially during compressor startup. Ensure the unit is level. Check that nothing is vibrating against the back or sides of the appliance.

Water pooling inside the fridge or on the floor

Check the defrost drain hole for blockages. Ensure the appliance is level so water can drain correctly. Verify the crisper drawer is not overflowing or damaged.

LED lights are not working

Check if the door is fully closed. If the issue persists, the LED strip may need professional replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Care:
