FAQs
What does 'Total No Frost' mean?
Total No Frost technology means that the appliance circulates cold air evenly throughout both the fridge and freezer compartments. This prevents frost from building up on the walls, shelves, and food, eliminating the need for manual defrosting.
How do I adjust the temperature?
You can adjust the temperature using the temperature control dial located inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn the dial to your desired setting, with lower numbers typically indicating colder temperatures.
Can I use this fridge freezer in my garage or shed?
No, this refrigerator is not designed to be used in an outbuilding or any unheated area. Using it in such environments can damage both your food and the appliance.
How long will my food stay safe if the power goes out?
This model is designed to keep your food safe for up to 9.5 hours during a power failure, thanks to its Power Failure Safe Storage feature.
Can I change the door from opening to the right to opening to the left?
Yes, the doors are reversible. However, it is recommended to have a qualified installer, such as a Tech Expert, carry out this procedure.
What is the energy efficiency rating, and what does it mean for my bills?
The appliance has an energy efficiency class of E. This means it consumes a moderate amount of energy. For specific consumption details, refer to the annual energy consumption figure of 220 kWh.
What is the warranty period for this fridge freezer?
The fridge freezer comes with a 1-year guarantee, with an additional year provided upon product registration.
Troubleshooting
Fridge or Freezer not cooling
Check if the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Ensure the temperature control dial is set correctly. Verify that the door is closing properly and the alarm is not indicating an open door. Make sure ventilation slots are not blocked.
Excessive noise
Ensure the appliance is level using the adjustable feet. Check that nothing is touching the back or sides of the unit. Normal operating sounds may include humming or gurgling.
Water pooling inside the fridge or freezer
Ensure the drain hole at the back of the fridge is clear of obstructions. Total No Frost technology should prevent significant ice build-up, but minor condensation can occur if doors are frequently opened or not sealed properly.
Door open alarm is continuously sounding
Ensure the fridge or freezer door is fully closed. Check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing completely. Clean the door seals as they might be preventing a tight seal.
Appliance not starting
Verify the power supply by testing the outlet with another appliance. Check the mains fuse or circuit breaker. Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the appliance.
