Frequently Asked Questions - SG3S-B Rhino

How do I adjust the temperature on my Rhino SG3S-B fridge?

Use the mechanical dial inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn it clockwise for colder settings and counterclockwise for warmer. The ideal temperature is between 3°C and 5°C.

Why is my fridge not cooling properly?

Check if the temperature dial is set correctly, ensure the door closes tightly, and clean the condenser coils at the back. Also avoid overloading the fridge. If the problem persists, contact a technician.

How often should I defrost my Rhino SG3S-B?

The SG3S-B features automatic defrost, so manual defrosting is not required. However, if ice builds up, you may need to check door seal or reduce humidity inside.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions. You may need a screwdriver and some patience.

What is the recommended setting for holiday mode?

When leaving for an extended period, set the dial to a warmer setting (e.g., 2) to save energy while keeping the fridge from mold. Remove perishable items first.

How do I clean the interior of my fridge?

Unplug the fridge and remove all food. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly before restocking.

Why is there water pooling inside my fridge?

This may be due to a blocked defrost drain. Clean the drain hole at the back of the fridge interior using a pipe cleaner or cotton swab with warm water.

What type of refrigerant does the SG3S-B use?

It uses R600a (isobutane), an environmentally friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant. Service must be done by qualified professionals.

How much electricity does the Rhino SG3S-B consume?

The estimated annual energy consumption is 100 kWh, based on standard usage. Actual consumption may vary depending on ambient temperature and usage habits.

Where can I find spare parts for my SG3S-B?

Spare parts are available through authorized Rhino service centers. Contact your local dealer or visit the Rhino website for a list of spare parts.
