FAQs
How do I activate the Super Cool function?
The Super Cool function is typically activated via a dedicated button on the control panel or the built-in display. Refer to your appliance's specific control interface for exact instructions.
What is the purpose of the Humidity-Controlled Fresh Zone?
This drawer is designed to maintain optimal humidity levels, which is ideal for storing fruits and vegetables. It helps to keep them fresher for longer by preventing them from drying out or becoming too moist.
How often should I defrost the freezer compartment?
The fridge compartment has automatic defrost. The freezer compartment may require manual defrosting if a significant layer of ice builds up. This is typically when ice reaches about 0.5 cm thick.
What is the noise level of this fridge freezer?
The noise level of this Haier fridge freezer is rated at 35 dB, which is considered very quiet.
What is the total capacity of this fridge freezer?
The total net capacity is 355 litres. The fridge compartment has a net capacity of 235 litres, and the freezer compartment has a net capacity of 120 litres (derived from total net minus fridge net).
What does energy efficiency class C mean?
Energy efficiency class C indicates the appliance's energy consumption. While functional, it is less energy-efficient compared to appliances with higher ratings (e.g., A++ or A+++), meaning it may consume more electricity.
Can the door hinge be reversed?
The product specifications indicate the door hinge is on the right. While some fridge freezers allow hinge reversal, this model's specifications do not explicitly mention this capability. It's best to consult the full manual or contact customer support for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Fridge not cooling sufficiently
Check that the temperature is set correctly via the built-in display. Ensure the door is closing properly and the seals are clean. Verify that the vents are not blocked and that the condenser coils (if accessible) are free from dust. Avoid overloading the appliance.
Unusual noises
Normal operating sounds include humming, clicking, and occasional gurgling. If you hear loud or persistent grinding or rattling, check that the appliance is level and stable. Ensure nothing is touching the back of the unit.
Excessive condensation or frost
Ensure the door is not left open for extended periods and that the door seals are intact and clean. Check that the humidity-controlled drawer is not overloaded or blocked. If frost builds up significantly in the freezer, manual defrosting may be necessary.
Door open alarm sounding frequently
Ensure the door is fully closed. Check the door seals for damage or debris that might be preventing a tight seal. Make sure the fridge is not overfilled, which could obstruct the door from closing completely.
Built-in display not working
Check the power connection. If the display remains blank after confirming power, a service may be required. Try unplugging the unit for 5 minutes and plugging it back in to reset the electronics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the fridge freezer is placed on a level surface using the adjustable feet. Allow at least 10cm clearance at the back and sides for adequate ventilation. Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet. Before first use, clean the interior with a mild detergent and water, then allow it to run for a few hours to reach the optimal temperature.
Compatibility: This is a freestanding unit and requires standard household electrical power. It is designed for indoor use. Ensure the ambient temperature of your room is suitable for refrigerator operation (typically between 10°C and 38°C).
Care: Regularly clean the interior using a damp cloth and mild detergent. The automatic defrost in the fridge compartment reduces maintenance, but the freezer may require occasional manual defrosting if significant ice build-up occurs. The exterior can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the door seals are clean and free from debris to maintain efficiency.
