The 211-litre fridge compartment, with its four glass shelves and dedicated salad crisper, excels at keeping fresh produce crisp and beverages chilled.

The 93-litre freezer with its three drawers provides ample room for frozen goods, allowing for organized storage of meats, ready meals, and ice cream. The 60/40 split is particularly beneficial for households that store more fresh food than frozen.
Despite its large internal capacity, the appliance maintains a compact external footprint, making it suitable for apartments, smaller homes, or even office kitchenettes where space optimization is key. Its E energy rating ensures it operates economically, providing a cost-effective solution for long-term food storage without compromising on cooling performance. The grey retro design transforms a functional appliance into a kitchen focal point, complementing a wide range of interior styles, from classic to contemporary with a vintage twist.
Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Keep the appliance upright as much as possible during transport to its final location.
Placement: Choose a level, solid surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like ovens or radiators), and excessive moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the sides and rear of the unit as per the user manual.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom to ensure the appliance is perfectly level. This helps with door alignment and efficient operation.
Initial Power-Up: After placing, allow the fridge freezer to stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, let it run empty for a few hours to reach optimal temperature before loading with food.
Kitchen Space: Its compact footprint makes it suitable for various kitchen sizes, from apartments to family homes. The retro design is versatile enough to complement both traditional and modern decor, especially those with a preference for vintage aesthetics.
Power Supply: Compatible with standard household electrical outlets (Info needed: specific voltage/frequency).
Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the interior, remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning. Ensure the door seals are clean and free from debris for efficient sealing.
Defrosting: The freezer section may require periodic manual defrosting depending on usage and ice build-up. Refer to the user manual for specific defrosting instructions.
Dusting Coils: Periodically dust the condenser coils at the back of the unit (if accessible) to maintain energy efficiency. Ensure the appliance is unplugged before performing this task.
Door Seals: Inspect door seals regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Clean seals ensure proper temperature retention.
Temperature Setting: Adjust the internal thermostat as needed to maintain optimal freshness and freezing, considering the ambient room temperature and amount of food stored.
