Troubleshooting
The fridge is not cooling properly
Check the internal thermostat settings and ensure the door is closed completely. Verify that food items are not blocking the air vents.
The fridge is making unusual noises
Ensure the appliance is level on the floor. Slight operational hums from the compressor and airflow are normal, but rattling may indicate an uneven installation.
Interior light is not turning on
Check if the power connection is secure. If the unit has power but no light, the LED module may require professional replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When installing your Smeg fridge, ensure it is placed on a level surface; the adjustable feet help stabilize the unit on uneven floors. For safety and performance, do not place the fridge near heat sources or in direct sunlight. Because this unit is not a built-in model, it requires proper ventilation space around the sides and back to prevent overheating. Most importantly, when positioning the fridge next to a wall or cupboard, leave a 175mm gap on the hinge side so the door can swing open fully to access the drawers and shelves. To care for the soft-touch exterior, use a soft, damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the unique finish.
