FAQs
What does LowFrost technology do?
LowFrost technology uses hidden cooling circuits to minimize the build-up of ice inside the freezer compartment, making it easier and less frequent to defrost.
How energy efficient is this fridge freezer?
This model has an energy efficiency class of 'E'. While AI CoolAssist can help optimize cooling, the overall rating indicates its energy consumption relative to other appliances.
What are the dimensions for installation?
The appliance requires a niche of 1780 mm in height, 560 mm in width, and 550 mm in depth for built-in installation.
Can the door opening direction be changed?
Yes, the door is reversible, allowing you to configure it to open from the right or left to suit your kitchen layout.
What is AI CoolAssist?
AI CoolAssist is a smart cooling feature that rapidly restores the ideal temperature inside the fridge after the door has been opened or when groceries are added, helping to keep food fresher for longer.
How often do I need to defrost this fridge freezer?
Thanks to the LowFrost technology, manual defrosting is significantly less frequent than with traditional freezers, often only needed once a year or even less, depending on usage.
What does the door alarm signify?
The audible and visual door alarm alerts you if the fridge or freezer door has been left open for too long, helping to prevent temperature rises and potential food spoilage.
Troubleshooting
Appliance not cooling
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the power outlet is working. Ensure the temperature settings are correct and not set too high. Verify that the doors are closing properly and not being blocked.
Excessive ice build-up
While LowFrost reduces ice, frequent door openings or storing warm food can contribute. Ensure the door seals are clean and intact. If significant ice forms, a manual defrost may be needed.
Unusual noises
Some operational noises are normal. If you hear loud or unusual sounds, check if the appliance is level. Ensure it's not touching walls or cabinets that could cause vibrations.
Door alarm keeps sounding
Make sure the door is fully closed. Check the door seals for any debris or damage that might prevent a complete seal. If the issue persists, there may be a fault with the alarm sensor.

Care:
- Cleaning: For regular cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water. Wipe down all interior surfaces, shelves, and drawers. The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Defrosting: Thanks to LowFrost technology, manual defrosting is infrequent. If ice does build up significantly, switch off the appliance, empty it, and leave the doors open with a towel to catch melting ice. Never use sharp objects to remove ice.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance as per the installation manual to maintain efficiency.
