What is the noise level of this appliance?
The noise level of this fridge freezer is rated at 42 dB, which is relatively quiet for a refrigerator and falls within noise emission class D.
Can I install this fridge freezer in a tight space?
While it's a freestanding unit, adequate ventilation is crucial for optimal performance and energy efficiency. Ensure you leave sufficient space around the sides and back of the appliance as recommended for heat dissipation. Check the dimensions (181H x 79.4W x 65D cm) against your available space.

Troubleshooting
Appliance not running or cooling
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Verify that the temperature settings are correct and not set too high. Make sure the doors are fully closed.
Unusual noises
Normal operating sounds include humming from the compressor and clicking from the thermostat. If noises are loud or continuous, check if the appliance is level or if items inside are vibrating against each other. Ensure adequate space around the unit.
Excessive condensation or frost build-up
Although the unit has Total No Frost, ensure doors are closing properly and not left ajar. Check door seals for damage or debris. Avoid storing warm food directly in the appliance. Ensure the appliance is not placed near a heat source.
Interior light not working
The LED light is designed for longevity. If it fails, it may require professional service. Unplug the appliance before attempting any inspection of the light fixture.
Food spoiling too quickly
Ensure the temperature is set correctly for both fridge and freezer compartments. Check that the Multi Air Flow vents are not blocked by food items. Make sure the doors are not frequently opened or left ajar. Use the Cool Fresh Box for produce.
