FAQs

How do the VitaminPLUS drawers work?

The VitaminPLUS drawers are designed to create an optimal environment for fresh produce by controlling light conditions and sometimes humidity. This helps to retain vitamins and nutrients, extending the freshness and shelf life of fruits and vegetables.

Does this fridge freezer require a water connection for the dispenser?

No, the Kaiser Empire Fridge Freezer features an internal refillable water tank for its chilled water dispenser, meaning it does not require a direct mains water connection. This offers greater flexibility for placement in your kitchen.

What is the 'Super Frost' function used for?

The 'Super Frost' function rapidly lowers the freezer temperature to quickly freeze newly added fresh food. This helps to preserve the food's texture, taste, and nutrients by minimizing ice crystal formation. It's best used when adding large quantities of unfrozen items.

How often should I clean the interior?

It is recommended to clean the interior of your fridge freezer at least once a month, or more frequently if spills occur. Use a mild detergent dissolved in warm water and wipe with a soft cloth. Ensure all surfaces are dry before replacing food items.

What is the energy efficiency class of this model?

This Kaiser Empire Fridge Freezer has an energy efficiency class of 'E' under the new energy label system. This indicates a good balance of performance and energy consumption.

Troubleshooting

Fridge or freezer not cooling properly.

Check if the power plug is securely inserted. Ensure the temperature settings are correct on the digital display. Confirm that the doors are fully closed and their seals are intact. Avoid overloading compartments, which can restrict airflow. Make sure there is adequate ventilation space around the appliance.

Water dispenser not working.

Verify that the internal water tank is filled with water. Check if the dispenser lever is fully engaged. Ensure there are no blockages in the dispenser nozzle. Clean the water tank and nozzle regularly.

Excessive noise from the appliance.

Ensure the fridge freezer is level; uneven placement can cause vibrations. Check if any items inside are touching the walls or shelves, causing rattling. Confirm that the appliance has sufficient clearance from walls and other objects. If the noise is continuous and unusual, consult the user manual or support.

Digital display is blank or unresponsive.

First, check the power connection. If the power is on, try turning off the appliance at the mains for a few minutes and then turning it back on to reset the system. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Ice maker not producing ice or producing too little.

Ensure the removable ice-maker is correctly seated. Check if the water tank is filled and if water is reaching the ice maker. The freezer temperature might be too high; adjust it to a colder setting. Clean the ice maker and its components regularly.
