To adjust the temperature settings, locate the control panel inside the fridge. Use the buttons to set your desired temperature for both the fridge and freezer compartments. Refer to the manual for specific button instructions.
First, check that the fridge is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the doors are sealing properly and that the vents inside the fridge are not blocked. If the issue persists, consider defrosting the appliance or contacting a professional technician.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every 6 to 12 months. This helps maintain the efficiency of the fridge and can prevent overheating. Make sure to unplug the fridge before cleaning.
Water pooling can be caused by a blocked defrost drain. To fix this, try clearing the drain hole located at the back of the fridge with a pipe cleaner or a similar tool.
To change the light bulb, first unplug the fridge. Locate the light cover inside the fridge, remove it, and replace the bulb with a new one of the same type and wattage. Replace the cover and plug the fridge back in.
The recommended temperature setting for the fridge is between 3°C and 4°C, and for the freezer, it is -18°C. Adjust settings based on the external temperature and frequency of use.
To reset the alarm, press the alarm reset button on the control panel. If the alarm continues to sound, check the door seals and ensure the fridge is cooling properly.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the condenser coils, checking door seals for damage, ensuring proper temperature settings, and defrosting the freezer if ice builds up.
To improve energy efficiency, keep the fridge away from heat sources, ensure there is adequate ventilation around it, and avoid frequent door openings. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the coils, also helps.
Unusual noises can be due to the fridge not being level, items inside vibrating against each other, or the compressor running. Ensure the fridge is level and rearrange items inside. If noises persist, consult a technician.
