Product Information

Full details

FAQs

How do I activate the Total No Frost feature?

The Total No Frost feature is a built-in technology that operates automatically. It circulates air to prevent ice formation, so there's no manual activation required and no need for manual defrosting.

How often should I refill the water dispenser tank?

This depends on your water consumption. For optimal freshness, it's recommended to empty, clean, and refill the tank at least once a week.

What is the recommended temperature setting for the fridge and freezer?

For the fridge, a temperature between 2°C and 4°C is generally recommended. For the freezer, -18°C is the standard target temperature for long-term food storage. Refer to your user manual for specific guidance.

Can I put hot food directly into the fridge freezer?

It is best to let hot food cool down to room temperature before placing it in the fridge or freezer. Placing hot food inside can raise the internal temperature, affecting other stored food and making the appliance work harder.

What does the 'E' energy efficiency rating mean?

An 'E' rating on the EU energy scale (A-G) indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency. While it meets regulatory standards, models with higher ratings (e.g., A or B) typically consume less electricity.

How do I clean the crisper drawer?

Remove the crisper drawer from the fridge. Wash it with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely before returning it to the appliance.

Troubleshooting

Fridge freezer is not running or not cooling

Check that the power cord is securely plugged in and the socket is working. Ensure the temperature controls are set correctly. Allow sufficient time for the unit to reach operating temperature after initial setup.

Excessive frost build-up (despite Total No Frost)

Ensure the doors are closing properly and not being left ajar. Check that the air vents inside are not blocked. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Water dispenser is not working

Confirm the water tank is filled and correctly seated. Ensure there are no kinks in any internal tubing (if applicable and accessible). Check if there is a child lock engaged on the dispenser.

Appliance is making unusual noises

Some operational noises (e.g., humming, clicking) are normal. If noises are loud or persistent, ensure the unit is level and not touching any walls or cabinets.

Food is freezing in the fridge compartment

Adjust the fridge temperature to a slightly higher setting. Ensure food items are not placed too close to the cold air vents within the compartment.
