FAQs
How does the VitaFresh compartment work?
The VitaFresh compartment is designed to create optimal storage conditions for fresh produce. It regulates humidity levels, typically by allowing you to adjust a slider, to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for longer by preventing them from drying out or becoming too moist.
What does the XXL capacity mean in terms of storage?
XXL capacity indicates a significantly larger storage volume compared to standard models. For this specific model, it offers a net capacity of 419 litres (302L fridge, 117L freezer), capable of holding approximately 22 bags of groceries.
What are the exact dimensions of this fridge freezer?
The product dimensions are 2010 mm in height, 700 mm in width, and 650 mm in depth. Please ensure you have sufficient space for placement and ventilation.
What is the benefit of the C-energy rating?
A C-energy rating signifies that the appliance operates with good energy efficiency under the new energy label system. This means it consumes less electricity to maintain its cooling performance, leading to lower utility bills and a reduced environmental impact compared to less efficient models.
Can I store large items in the freezer?
Yes, the freezer features a dedicated 'Big Box' drawer, which is extra deep and designed to accommodate larger or bulkier frozen items like family-sized pizzas, large roasts, or stacked containers with ease.
How do I clean the VitaFresh drawer?
The VitaFresh drawer can be easily removed for cleaning. Wash it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely before placing it back into the refrigerator. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Appliance is not cooling or not cooling sufficiently.
Check if the power plug is securely inserted and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the temperature settings are correct and that the doors are sealing properly. Avoid overfilling the compartments, which can restrict airflow. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
Unusual noises coming from the appliance.
Most new refrigerators make common operating sounds. Check if the appliance is level; adjust the feet if necessary. Ensure internal items are not rattling against each other or the interior walls. If the noise is persistent or very loud, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
Water pooling inside the refrigerator or leaking onto the floor.
Inspect the drain hole (usually at the back of the fridge compartment) for blockages. Clear any debris carefully. Ensure the appliance is level, as uneven positioning can cause drainage issues. Check the water dispenser/ice maker connection if applicable (Info needed: Does this model have a water dispenser/ice maker?).
Excessive frost buildup in the freezer.
Ensure the freezer door is sealing correctly and not being left open frequently. Avoid placing warm food directly into the freezer. If the model is not frost-free, manual defrosting may be required. (Info needed: Is this model Frost-Free or LowFrost?)
LED lighting is not working.
Verify the appliance is powered on. If the issue persists after checking power, it may indicate a fault with the LED module. Contact customer service for assistance as LED lights are typically not user-replaceable.

- Power Connection: Ensure the fridge freezer is plugged into a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet that meets the appliance's power requirements. Wait a few hours before loading food to allow the temperatures to stabilize.
Compatibility
This is a freestanding appliance, offering flexibility in kitchen design. Its large capacity and specific dimensions mean it's best suited for kitchens with ample space to accommodate its footprint.
Care
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Pay special attention to the VitaFresh drawer, wiping it down to prevent residue buildup. The exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth.
