What is the recommended temperature setting for the refrigerator?

The recommended temperature for the refrigerator compartment is between 3°C and 5°C. Adjust the thermostat dial to achieve this. For the freezer (if applicable), set to -18°C.

How do I defrost the refrigerator?

This model requires manual defrosting. When ice builds up, unplug the unit, remove food, and leave the door open to melt ice. Do not use sharp tools to remove ice.

How do I clean the refrigerator interior?

Unplug the appliance, remove all food and shelves, and wash the interior with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly before restarting.

Why is the refrigerator making noise?

Normal operating sounds include the compressor humming, refrigerant flow, and automatic defrost cycles. If noise is excessive, ensure the unit is level and not touching walls or cabinets.

Can the door be reversed?

Yes, the door is reversible. To change the opening direction, refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions. You may need a screwdriver and spanner.

How do I adjust the thermostat?

The thermostat dial is located inside the refrigerator, usually on the right wall. Turn the dial to a higher number for colder temperature, and a lower number for warmer. Typically, setting 3 or 4 is ideal.

What type of light bulb does the refrigerator use?

The interior light uses an incandescent bulb (15W) or LED depending on the model. Check the manual for the exact type and replacement instructions.

The refrigerator is not cooling properly. What could be wrong?

Check the thermostat setting, ensure the door is closed properly, and clean the condenser coils at the back. If the problem persists, the compressor or refrigerant may need professional servicing.

How much clearance is needed around the refrigerator?

Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind and above the appliance for proper ventilation, and 5 cm on the sides. This ensures efficient operation and energy savings.
