FAQs

What does 'Total No Frost' mean?

Total No Frost technology uses an advanced air circulation system to prevent ice from forming inside both the fridge and freezer compartments. This means you never have to manually defrost your appliance, and it helps keep food fresher for longer by reducing moisture and odors.

How much energy does this fridge freezer consume?

This model has an E energy efficiency rating and an estimated annual energy consumption of 227 kWh. While E is not the highest rating, it aims to balance performance with energy use.

Can I reverse the doors on this fridge freezer?

Yes, the doors are reversible. Instructions for reversing the doors are typically provided in the user manual, and it's a process that can be done at home if needed.

What is the warranty period for this appliance?

The fridge freezer comes with a standard 1-year guarantee, with an additional year offered upon registration of the product, giving you up to a 2-year guarantee in total.

What is the capacity of the fridge and freezer compartments?

The total capacity is 247 litres, split into 165 litres for the fridge and 82 litres for the freezer.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Temperature is adjusted using an internal slider located within the fridge compartment. You can fine-tune the cooling to suit your specific needs.

What is the noise level of this fridge freezer?

The noise level is rated at 40 decibels (dB), which is considered relatively quiet for a refrigeration appliance.

Troubleshooting

Appliance is not cooling

Check if the power cord is plugged in securely. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the doors are closing properly and not obstructed. Check for any excessive build-up of frost (though Total No Frost should prevent this).

Excessive noise

Ensure the appliance is level using the adjustable feet. Check that it is not touching any walls or cabinets. The normal operating sounds of the compressor and fan may sometimes be mistaken for excessive noise.

Water pooling inside the fridge

This can occur if the drain hole for the defrost water is blocked. Locate and clear the drain hole with a soft brush or pipe cleaner. Ensure the appliance is not overloaded, which can impede air circulation.

Door alarm is sounding continuously

Make sure the doors are fully closed. Check for any items inside that might be preventing the doors from sealing properly. If the alarm persists, there may be an issue with the door seal or the alarm mechanism.

Food is freezing in the fridge compartment

Adjust the temperature control to a warmer setting. Ensure food items are not placed too close to the cold air vents inside the fridge. Check that the doors are closing securely and not left ajar.
