FAQs
What is a larder fridge?
A larder fridge is a refrigeration unit that contains only a fridge compartment, with no freezer section. It is designed for maximum fresh food storage.
How do I adjust the temperature?
The Swan Retro Tall Larder Fridge features an adjustable temperature control dial, typically located inside the fridge compartment. Turn the dial to your desired setting, usually ranging from colder (higher number) to less cold (lower number). Refer to your user manual for exact settings.
How often should I clean the fridge?
It is recommended to clean the interior and exterior of your fridge regularly, ideally once a month, to maintain hygiene and efficiency. The salad crisper and door shelves can be cleaned more frequently as needed.
What is its energy rating?
This Swan Retro Tall Larder Fridge has an 'E' energy efficiency class rating, indicating efficient operation under current European energy labeling standards.
Can I reverse the door?
> Info needed: The user manual or product specifications will confirm if the door is reversible. This feature allows you to change the door hinge from right to left, or vice versa, to suit your kitchen layout.
What are the dimensions of this fridge?
> Info needed: Specific dimensions (height, width, depth) are typically provided in the product's full specifications or user manual. It is important to check these for fitting into your kitchen space.
Troubleshooting
Fridge not cooling adequately
Check if the power plug is securely inserted. Ensure the temperature control is set to an appropriate level. Avoid overpacking the fridge, as this can obstruct airflow. Make sure the door is sealing properly.
Unusual noises coming from the fridge
Ensure the fridge is level; adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Check that no objects inside are rattling against each other. Some operational noises, like humming from the compressor or gurgling from refrigerant, are normal.
Water pooling inside the fridge
Check if the drainage hole (usually at the back of the interior) is blocked. Clean it gently with a small pipe cleaner or cotton swab. Ensure food items are not touching the back wall, which can cause condensation to freeze and then melt.
Door not closing properly
Verify that no food items or containers are blocking the door path. Clean the door gaskets; food particles can prevent a proper seal. Ensure the fridge is level, as an unlevel appliance can affect door alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the fridge for any transit damage. Allow the fridge to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant gases to settle.
Placement: Choose a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like ovens or radiators), and excessive moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the back and sides.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom to ensure the fridge is perfectly level. This helps with door alignment and efficient operation.
Clean Interior: Before first use, wipe down the interior and accessories with a mild detergent solution and warm water. Dry thoroughly.
First Use: Plug the fridge into a dedicated earthed power socket. Set the temperature control to a medium setting and allow the fridge to cool down for several hours (ideally 24 hours) before loading it with food.
Compatibility
Space Requirements: Due to its tall design, ensure you have sufficient vertical space for installation and adequate clearance for door opening. Check specific dimensions in the user manual.
Power Supply: Compatible with standard household electrical outlets.
Care and Maintenance
Regular Cleaning: Unplug the fridge before cleaning. Clean the interior and exterior regularly (e.g., monthly) with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Defrosting: As a larder fridge, it is likely frost-free, but refer to your manual for specific defrosting instructions if ice buildup occurs.
Door Seal Check: Regularly inspect the door seals for cleanliness and damage. A clean, intact seal ensures efficient cooling.
Temperature Setting: Adjust the temperature as needed based on the amount and type of food stored, and the ambient room temperature.
Power Outages: During long power outages, keep the fridge door closed to maintain internal temperature as long as possible.
