Troubleshooting

Appliance not cooling

Check if the power plug is fully inserted and the socket is working. Ensure the thermostat is set correctly and that the door is closing properly. Check for any obstructions around the condenser at the back.

Excessive noise

Ensure the appliance is level. Check that it is not touching any walls or cabinets. Items inside should not be rattling against each other or the shelves.

Water on the floor

This could be due to a blocked defrost drain in the fridge. Ensure the small hole at the back of the fridge compartment is clear of debris. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Frost build-up in the freezer

This is normal for a manual defrost freezer. Defrost the freezer periodically as per the care instructions to maintain efficiency.

Fridge door not sealing properly

Check for obstructions preventing the door from closing fully. Ensure the door seals are clean and free from damage. Adjust the appliance's feet to ensure it is level and the door hangs correctly.

Setup:

  3. Plug into a suitable earthed power socket.
  4. Set the temperature controls for the fridge and freezer compartments. Initial use may require lower settings until the desired temperature is reached.

Compatibility:

  • Placement: The left-hand hinge means the door opens from the left. Ensure sufficient clearance for this opening direction and that it does not obstruct walkways or other cabinets.
  • Power: Requires a standard UK 220-240V, 50/60 Hz power supply. Connected load is 100 W.

  • Fridge Defrost: The fridge section features automatic defrosting, requiring no manual intervention.
  • Freezer Defrost: The freezer compartment requires manual defrosting. Periodically switch off the appliance, empty it, and allow ice to thaw. Clean and dry thoroughly before switching back on. This is recommended for optimal energy efficiency and performance.
  • Shelves: Shelves are made of glass and are removable for easier cleaning.
