What is the correct temperature setting for the fridge and freezer?

The recommended fridge temperature is between 2°C and 5°C. For the freezer, set it to -18°C or lower. Use the electronic control panel to adjust.

How do I replace the water filter?

Locate the filter at the back or inside the fridge. Turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise to remove, then insert the new filter and turn clockwise. Run 2-3 liters of water before use.

Why is my fridge not cooling properly?

Check if the door seals are clean and intact. Ensure the condenser coils at the back are dust-free. Verify that the temperature settings are correct and that there is enough airflow inside.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

This model has a No Frost system, so manual defrosting is not required. However, if ice builds up, it may indicate a door seal issue or a malfunction.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the manual for step-by-step instructions. Typically, you need to remove the top hinge, door, bottom hinge, and relocate them to the opposite side.

What does the alarm sound mean?

A continuous alarm indicates a door left open. A beeping alarm may signal a temperature rise. Press the alarm reset button to silence it, and check the door and temperature settings.

How do I clean the condenser coils?

Unplug the unit. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust from the coils at the back or bottom front. Clean every 6 months for efficiency.

What should I do if the water dispenser stops working?

First, check if the water supply is connected and the tap is open. Ensure the filter is not clogged. If no water flows, the dispenser solenoid may be faulty; contact service.

Is the appliance suitable for garage use?
