Troubleshooting
The fridge is not cooling effectively
Check that the door is closing properly and that no items are blocking the air vents. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the 10°C to 43°C range.
The internal LED light is flickering or not turning on
Ensure the appliance is connected to power. If the light remains off, contact a certified technician, as internal components should not be serviced by the user.
Excessive noise or vibration
Verify that the appliance is level by adjusting the feet at the front of the unit and ensure it is not in direct contact with adjacent walls.
High temperature alarm is sounding
Ensure the door has not been left open for an extended period. If the temperature doesn't drop after closing the door, check that the airflow vents are not blocked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Requirements
- Clearance: You must leave a minimum gap of 175mm on the hinge side of the appliance to allow the door to open fully, enabling the drawers and shelves to slide out completely.
- Placement: Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface. Utilize the adjustable feet to ensure stability, which helps in reducing vibration noise.
- Environment: This appliance is rated for a climate class of SN-T, meaning it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between 10°C and 43°C.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the glass shelves and plastic balconies with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the glossy exterior finish.
- Defrosting: Thanks to the Total No Frost system, manual defrosting is not required. However, periodically check the door seals for crumbs or debris to ensure an airtight closure.
- Digital Control: Access the internal touch panel to adjust settings; avoid getting excessive moisture directly onto the control interface.
