Product Information
Full details
The Smeg FAB10RDUJ6 is an ideal refrigeration solution for those looking to combine iconic 1950s retro aesthetics with modern functionality in compact spaces like studio apartments, offices, or home bars. This 122-litre freestanding fridge offers efficient cooling and a distinct Union Jack design that serves as a statement decor piece. While it provides excellent style and quiet operation, potential buyers should note its smaller capacity compared to full-sized family refrigerators, making it better suited for secondary use or single-person households.

FAQs
Can the door hinge be changed to the left side?
No, the Smeg FAB10RDUJ6 comes with a fixed right-hand hinge.
How much space do I need to open the door?
You must leave a gap of at least 175mm on the hinged side to allow for full door opening.
Is the ice box suitable for long-term frozen food storage?
The ice box is 4-star rated, meaning it is suitable for frozen food storage, but due to its small 17-litre size, it is best for smaller quantities.
Does this fridge require manual defrosting?
The main fridge compartment features automatic defrosting, making maintenance much easier.
What is the noise level of this fridge?
The fridge operates at 35 dB, which is considered very quiet and suitable for living or working spaces.
Troubleshooting
The fridge is running warmer than usual
Check that the door is closing properly and that no items are blocking the door seal. Also, ensure the ventilation gaps around the unit are clear.
Excessive condensation inside the fridge
Verify that the drainage hole at the back of the interior is not blocked and that food containers are properly covered to reduce moisture release.
The unit makes a clicking sound
A clicking sound is often the thermostat or compressor cycling; this is normal operation and not a fault.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the FAB10RDUJ6 is straightforward for a freestanding unit, but proper placement is essential for functionality. You must leave a minimum gap of 175mm on the hinged side of the fridge to allow the door to open fully for shelf removal and cleaning. The unit features a right-hand hinge that is non-reversible.
For daily care, wipe the exterior with a soft cloth to maintain the finish. The interior glass shelves are removable and should be hand-washed with mild soap. Because the fridge features automatic defrost in the main compartment, manual intervention is minimal; however, ensure the drainage hole at the back is kept clear to prevent water accumulation.
