FAQs
What does 'Total No Frost' mean?

How do I adjust the temperature?
Temperature adjustments can be made using the touch control panel located inside the appliance, accessible via the LED display.
Can the doors be reversed?

What is the purpose of the Flexi Fresh Area?
The Flexi Fresh Area is a specialized drawer that can be set to different modes (Meat&Fish or Fruit&Veg) to create the optimal temperature and humidity conditions for specific types of food, extending their freshness.
How often should I clean the Aria Clear filter?
The Aria Clear filter is designed for longevity. It's recommended to check the user manual for specific cleaning or replacement intervals, but generally, it requires minimal intervention for odour control.
What is the annual energy consumption?

Troubleshooting
Fridge or freezer is not cooling effectively.
Check that the temperature settings are correct. Ensure the doors are closing properly and that the vents are not blocked. Verify that the appliance is not overloaded. Clean the condenser coils if accessible.
Unusual noise coming from the appliance.
Normal operating sounds include humming, clicking, or gurgling. If the noise is loud or persistent, ensure the appliance is level. Check that nothing is vibrating against the back or sides.
Water pooling inside the fridge compartment.
This could indicate a blocked defrost water drain. Locate and clear the drain hole inside the fridge, usually at the back of the crisper drawer.
Appliance is not switching on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the outlet is working. Check your home's circuit breaker or fuse box.
Excessive frost build-up in the freezer.
Although it features No Frost technology, ensure the freezer door is not left open for extended periods and that warm, moist air is not entering excessively. Check for obstructions around the door seal.
