FAQs
What does 'No Frost' technology mean for me?
'No Frost' means you will never have to manually defrost your fridge or freezer. The system automatically prevents ice crystals from forming, maintaining optimal performance and keeping your food fresher for longer.
How do I fill the non-plumbed water dispenser?
Locate the water tank inside the fridge compartment (usually on the door). Remove the tank, fill it with fresh, potable water from your tap, and then securely reinsert it into its designated slot. Dispense a few glasses to ensure proper operation.
What are the exact dimensions of this fridge freezer?
The product dimensions are 1785mm in height, 914mm in width, and 725mm in depth (1785 x 914 x 725 mm).
How much food can this fridge freezer hold?
It has a total net capacity of 579 litres: 367 litres for the fridge and 212 litres for the freezer. This is equivalent to approximately 20 bags of fresh groceries and 12 bags of frozen items.
Is special installation required for this American fridge freezer?
No special plumbing installation is required due to the non-plumbed water dispenser. However, ensure you have sufficient space for its large dimensions, and allow adequate ventilation around the unit. Basic electrical connection to a grounded outlet is all that's needed.
How do I clean the interior of my fridge freezer?
To clean the interior, unplug the appliance and remove all food items. Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution and warm water. Wipe down all surfaces, shelves, and drawers. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly before plugging it back in and reloading food.
Troubleshooting
Fridge/Freezer not cooling effectively.
Check if the temperature settings are correct. Ensure doors are fully closed and seals are intact. Verify there's enough space around the appliance for ventilation. Avoid overpacking, which can obstruct airflow. If issues persist, unplug for 15 minutes, then restart.
Water dispenser is not working or dispensing slowly.
Ensure the water tank is filled with water. Check if the tank is correctly seated and assembled. Make sure no parts of the dispenser mechanism are blocked or dirty. If it's a new unit, dispense a few glasses to prime the system.
Unusual noises coming from the appliance.
Check if the appliance is level on the floor, adjusting the feet if necessary. Ensure nothing is touching the back or sides of the unit, which could cause vibrations. Some operational noises like humming or gurgling are normal (e.g., refrigerant flow, compressor running).
Ice build-up despite 'No Frost' feature.
While rare, this usually indicates a door seal issue allowing warm, moist air in. Inspect door seals for damage or debris and clean them. Also, avoid leaving doors open for extended periods. Ensure food items are not blocking the air vents inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack and Position: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Position the fridge freezer in its desired location, ensuring there is adequate space around it for ventilation (at least 5-10 cm on sides and back, and above). The dimensions are 1785mm (H) x 914mm (W) x 725mm (D).
- Leveling: Use the adjustable feet to ensure the appliance is perfectly level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry.
- Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a dedicated earthed power socket. Avoid using extension cords.
- First Power-On: Allow the fridge freezer to stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in. Once plugged in, allow it to run empty for 6-8 hours to reach optimal operating temperatures before loading with food.
- Water Dispenser Fill: For the water dispenser, locate the internal water tank (Info needed: confirm location, usually inside fridge door) and fill it with fresh, potable water. Dispense a few glasses to flush out any manufacturing residue.
Compatibility
- Space: Ensure your kitchen has sufficient floor space and door clearances for the appliance's large dimensions (HxWxD: 1785 x 914 x 725 mm). Also, account for door swing.
- Power: Requires a standard grounded electrical outlet.
Care
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the interior regularly (every 1-3 months) with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Wipe down shelves and drawers. The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
- Water Dispenser: Clean the water tank and dispenser nozzle regularly to prevent mold or bacterial growth. Follow specific instructions in your manual for tank removal and cleaning.
- Door Seals: Periodically check door seals for damage or gaps. Clean them to ensure a tight seal, which is crucial for efficiency and preventing ice buildup.
- Ventilation: Ensure the back and sides of the appliance remain clear of obstructions to allow for proper airflow, which is vital for efficient cooling and extending the appliance's lifespan. Do not block the ventilation grilles.
- No Frost System: While the No Frost system prevents ice buildup, occasional gentle cleaning of the interior to remove food spills will support its efficiency.
