FAQs

How do I clean the fridge interior?

Use a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Wipe down the surfaces with a damp cloth, then dry them thoroughly.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Thanks to the Low Frost technology, you'll need to defrost it less often. However, it's recommended to defrost it when ice build-up becomes excessive, typically once or twice a year.

What should I do if the door alarm goes off?

Check if the door is fully closed. Ensure that no items are obstructing the door's closure. If the door is properly closed, the alarm may indicate a malfunction.

Where is the serial number located?

The serial number is typically found on a sticker inside the fridge compartment, often on the side wall or near the vegetable drawers.

How do I adjust the temperature settings?

Use the control panel (usually inside the fridge) to adjust the temperature. Consult your user manual for the specific controls.

What is the Fresh Zone drawer for?

The Fresh Zone drawer is designed to maintain the optimal temperature and humidity to keep fruits and vegetables fresher for longer.

What is the Fast Freeze function?

The Fast Freeze function quickly lowers the freezer temperature to rapidly freeze newly added food items, preserving their freshness.

Troubleshooting

Fridge not cooling

Check the power supply, ensure the thermostat is set correctly, and that the door seals are airtight. Clean the condenser coils.

Freezer not freezing

Check the power supply, ensure the thermostat is set to the correct setting. Check that the door seals are tight. Check for any blockage of air vents inside the freezer.

Excessive ice build-up in the freezer

Check the door seal for damage. Ensure the door closes properly. Check the placement of food inside the freezer, which can sometimes block vents.

Fridge door won't close properly

Check if items are blocking the door. Inspect the door seals for damage. Ensure the fridge is level.

Fridge is making excessive noise

Check that the fridge is level. Make sure the fridge is not touching anything that may cause vibrations. Some noise is normal, but loud or unusual sounds may indicate a problem.
