The Willow WFF157 excels in households where convenience and quiet operation are paramount. Its Low Frost technology means you'll spend far less time battling ice build-up, allowing for more consistent cooling and better food preservation without the hassle of frequent manual defrosts. The 109L fridge section offers ample space for a week's worth of fresh groceries for a small family or couple, with dedicated shelves for organization and a crisper drawer to keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer. The 48L freezer, while compact, provides sufficient storage across its three drawers for essential frozen items like ready meals, ice cream, or a small stock of meats. The quiet 39dBA operation is a significant advantage, ensuring the appliance won't disrupt open-plan living areas, studio apartments, or even bedrooms if used as a secondary unit. Its sleek design, featuring a recessed handle and mark-proof exterior, not only looks contemporary but also makes cleaning effortless, keeping your kitchen looking tidy.
Placement: Position the fridge freezer on a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators). Ensure there's at least 10cm of clear space around the back and sides for adequate ventilation.
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-On: After positioning, wait at least 4 hours before plugging the unit into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant fluids to settle, preventing potential damage to the cooling system.
First Use Clean: Before loading food, clean the interior with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry thoroughly.
The Willow WFF157 is a freestanding appliance, meaning it does not require integration into cabinetry. It is designed to stand independently and can be placed anywhere with access to a power supply and adequate ventilation space.
Exterior Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the mark-proof exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly.
Interior Cleaning: Clean the interior shelves, drawers, and walls every few months with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Remove all food items first. Rinse with clean water and dry completely before reloading food.
Defrosting: Thanks to Low Frost technology, manual defrosting of the freezer is required much less frequently. When frost build-up becomes noticeable (e.g., more than 5mm thick), remove all contents, turn off the appliance, and allow the frost to melt naturally. Wipe up water and dry thoroughly before restarting.
Door Seals: Periodically check and clean door seals to ensure they are free from debris and form a tight seal, which is crucial for energy efficiency.
