FAQs
What does 'Total No Frost' mean?
Total No Frost technology ensures even distribution of cold air throughout both the fridge and freezer, preventing any ice from forming. This means you will never have to manually defrost your appliance.
How often do I need to refill the non-plumbed water dispenser?
The frequency depends on your usage. The internal water tank needs to be refilled manually whenever it runs low. Check it daily if you use the dispenser frequently.
Can I place this fridge freezer in my garage or an unheated shed?
No, this appliance is not designed for use in unheated environments. Operating it in temperatures below its recommended range can damage the unit, affect its performance, and potentially void your warranty.
How do I adjust the temperature settings?
You can easily adjust the temperature using the LED display and electronic controls located on the exterior of the appliance. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions on temperature adjustment modes.
What is the approximate capacity in cubic feet?
The 485-litre capacity is approximately equivalent to 17.1 cubic feet.
What does the 'E' energy rating signify?
The 'E' energy rating indicates the appliance's energy efficiency under the updated energy labelling system. While not the highest rating, it signifies that the appliance meets current efficiency standards for its category, helping to manage energy consumption.
How should I clean the interior of my fridge freezer?
Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a soft cloth dampened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Wipe down all surfaces and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Clean the water tank regularly.
Troubleshooting
Fridge freezer is not cooling or not cooling enough.
Check if the appliance is plugged in securely and the power outlet is working. Ensure the temperature settings are correct on the LED display. Make sure the doors are sealing properly and not being opened too frequently. Confirm there is sufficient space around the appliance for ventilation and it's not in an unheated room.
Water dispenser is not working or water flow is weak.
Check if the water tank inside the fridge is properly filled and correctly seated. Ensure the dispenser lever is fully engaged. If the water is warm, allow time for it to chill after refilling. Clean the dispenser nozzle if it appears blocked.
Unusual noises coming from the appliance.
Gurgling or bubbling sounds are normal as refrigerant circulates. If you hear a grinding or rattling noise, check that the appliance is level on the floor and not touching any walls or cabinets. Ensure no items inside are vibrating against each other.
Ice build-up in the freezer or fridge compartments.
This appliance features Total No Frost, so ice build-up should not occur. If you see ice, check that the door seals are clean and intact, and that the doors are fully closing. Avoid placing hot food directly into the compartments, as this can introduce moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Placement: Choose a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators). Ensure adequate ventilation space around the back and sides as specified in the user manual.
- Initial Cleaning: Before plugging in, wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
- Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. Avoid using extension cords.
- First Use: Allow the fridge freezer to stand for at least 4 hours after moving before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle. After plugging in, let it run empty for 6-8 hours to reach operating temperature before loading food.
Compatibility
- Environmental: This appliance is not designed for use in unheated areas such as garages, sheds, or outbuildings. Operating it in temperatures below its recommended range (typically 10°C to 43°C) can impair performance, increase energy consumption, and potentially damage the unit or compromise food safety.
- Space: Given its substantial 485-litre capacity and side-by-side design, ensure you have sufficient floor space and clearance for opening both doors fully.
Care
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the interior with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. For the water dispenser, periodically clean the water tank and dispenser nozzle.
- No Defrosting Needed: Thanks to Total No Frost, you will not need to manually defrost the freezer compartment.
- Door Seals: Check door seals periodically for cleanliness and proper sealing to maintain energy efficiency.
- Water Dispenser: Refill the non-plumbed water tank with fresh, potable water as needed. Clean the tank regularly to prevent bacteria build-up.
