FAQs
How often does the freezer need defrosting?
The Low Frost system significantly reduces the frequency of manual defrosting compared to traditional static freezers. You may only need to defrost it once or twice a year, depending on usage and ambient conditions. Monitor ice build-up visually.
Can the doors be reversed after installation?
Yes, the doors are designed to be reversible. This allows you to choose the opening direction that best suits your kitchen layout. Please refer to the setup instructions for the specific procedure.
What is the energy efficiency rating?
This model has an E energy efficiency rating on the A to G scale.
Is this appliance noisy?
The noise level is rated at 35 dB, which is considered quiet operation and should not be disruptive in a typical kitchen environment.
What is the total capacity of the fridge-freezer?
The total net capacity is 270 litres, with 195 litres for the fridge compartment and 75 litres for the freezer compartment.
Does it have a 'No Frost' feature?
No, this model features a 'Low Frost' system, which reduces ice build-up but does not eliminate the need for occasional manual defrosting. It does not have a 'No Frost' feature for either the fridge or the freezer.
What happens if the door is left open?
An audible Door Open Alarm will sound if the door is left ajar, helping to prevent energy loss and keep food at the correct temperature.
Troubleshooting
Appliance not cooling
Check that the power plug is fully inserted and the circuit breaker is on. Ensure the temperature settings are correct. Verify that the doors are closing properly and not blocked by food items. Allow 24 hours for the unit to reach the desired temperature after initial setup or significant temperature fluctuations.
Excessive noise
Ensure the appliance is level using the adjustable feet. Check that it is not touching surrounding cabinets or walls. Verify that items inside are not rattling against each other or the appliance walls.
Water leaking inside the fridge
Check that the drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment is not blocked. Gently clear any blockage with a soft, non-metallic object. Ensure the appliance is level.
Door not closing properly
Check for obstructions around the door seal and frame. Ensure the appliance is level, as an unlevel unit can cause doors to sag. If the doors have been reversed, ensure the hinges are correctly reassembled.
Ice build-up in the freezer
The Low Frost system reduces build-up, but some is normal. If excessive ice forms, manual defrosting is required. Ensure the freezer door is not being left open for extended periods and that warm, moist air is not entering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a built-in appliance, designed to be installed within kitchen cabinetry. Ensure the cabinet dimensions are suitable for the unit's external measurements (Height: 1769 mm, Width: 540 mm, Depth: 540 mm). The appliance requires adequate ventilation, typically at the back and sides, as per manufacturer instructions. Connection to a standard power outlet is required. The reversible door hinge can be adjusted during installation to suit your kitchen layout. Adjustable feet at the base allow for levelling on uneven floors.
Compatibility:
- Climate Class: N (Normal), suitable for ambient temperatures between 16°C and 32°C.
- Door Assembly: Uses a door slider system for integration with kitchen cupboard doors.
- Power: Requires a standard UK mains power supply.
Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Exterior: Wipe the white exterior with a damp cloth.
- Condenser Coils: Periodically clean the condenser coils at the back of the unit (if accessible) to maintain efficiency. Ensure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning.
- Defrosting: While the Low Frost system reduces build-up, manual defrosting of the freezer will eventually be necessary. Unplug the appliance, empty contents, leave doors open, and wipe away ice. Do not use sharp objects to chip away ice.
- Door Seals: Keep door seals clean to ensure a proper seal.
