FAQs

What is the My Fresh Choice zone and how does it work?

The My Fresh Choice zone is a special compartment in the Hisense RQ5P640SYSD that can be converted to operate at different temperatures, ranging from -5°C to -20°C. This allows you to use it as an extra chiller for meats and drinks, or as a dedicated freezer compartment for items like ice cream or frozen vegetables.

Do I need to plumb this fridge freezer into the water mains?

No, this model features a non-plumbed water dispenser. It has an internal 5-litre water tank that you will need to refill manually with fresh water when needed.

How does the UV Water Treatment Technology work?

The UV Water Treatment Technology uses ultraviolet light to sterilize the water and ice before it is dispensed. This process helps to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria, ensuring that your water and ice are clean and safe to consume.

What does 'Total No Frost' mean?

Total No Frost technology ensures that neither the refrigerator nor the freezer compartment will build up frost. This is achieved by circulating cold air evenly and removing moisture, which eliminates the need for manual defrosting and keeps food in better condition.

Can I control the fridge freezer remotely?

Yes, you can control and monitor the Hisense RQ5P640SYSD remotely using the ConnectLife app. This allows you to adjust temperature settings, receive notifications, and access other features from your smartphone.

What is the energy efficiency rating of this fridge freezer?

This Hisense fridge freezer has an energy efficiency class of D, with an estimated annual energy consumption of 276 kWh.

How much ice can this fridge freezer make?

The freezer has a freezing capacity of 6 kg per 24 hours. It also features Dual Ice Makers, providing both cubed and nugget ice options.

Troubleshooting

Appliance not cooling sufficiently

Check that the temperature settings are correct. Ensure the doors are fully closed and seals are clean. Verify that the ventilation is not blocked and that the appliance is not overloaded. Check if Super Cool/Super Freeze needs to be activated.

Water dispenser not working

Ensure the water tank is correctly inserted and filled. Check that the dispenser lock is not engaged. Verify that the appliance is connected to power and the ice maker is functioning (if applicable).

Appliance is noisy

Ensure the appliance is level. Normal operating sounds include compressor hum and fan noise. If noise is excessive or unusual, check for items rattling inside or touching the back panel.

ConnectLife app not connecting

Verify your Wi-Fi connection is stable and that the appliance is within range. Ensure you are using the correct Wi-Fi network (2.4GHz) and password. Try restarting the app and the fridge freezer.

Door open alarm is sounding

Ensure the refrigerator and freezer doors are completely closed. Check that no items are obstructing the door from sealing properly. The alarm will stop once the door is closed for a sufficient period.
