To adjust the temperature settings, locate the control panel inside the refrigerator compartment. Use the temperature control dial to set your desired cooling level. The higher the setting, the colder the temperature.
Ensure that the refrigerator is plugged in and that the thermostat is set correctly. Check for any obstructions blocking the air vents inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Also, make sure the door seals are clean and not damaged.
To defrost the freezer, unplug the refrigerator and remove all items from the freezer. Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt naturally. Place towels at the bottom to soak up the water, and clean any remaining ice with a soft cloth.
Check if the water drainage hole inside the refrigerator is blocked. Clean it using a pipe cleaner or similar tool. Ensure that the drip tray is not full and that the refrigerator is level to prevent leakage.
The condenser coils should be cleaned every 6 months to maintain efficient operation. Use a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush to remove dust and debris from the coils located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator.
Some noise is normal, such as the compressor humming or the fan running. However, if you hear unusual sounds, check that the refrigerator is level, and ensure no items are vibrating against the sides. If the noise persists, contact customer service.
Store raw meat and fish in the coldest part of the fridge, typically the bottom shelf. Dairy products and eggs should be kept in the main compartment, not the door. Use the drawers for fruits and vegetables, and keep drinks and condiments in the fridge door.
Yes, the door swing can be reversed. Consult the user manual for detailed instructions, as you will need to remove the top hinge cover, unscrew the hinges, and reattach them on the opposite side.
To replace the interior light bulb, first unplug the refrigerator. Locate the light cover inside the compartment, remove it, and unscrew the old bulb. Replace it with a new bulb of the same type and wattage, then reattach the cover.
If the control panel is unresponsive, try unplugging the refrigerator for a few minutes and then plugging it back in to reset it. If the problem persists, inspect the control panel for damage and contact a technician if necessary.
