Product Information

Full details

Designed for compact living spaces like small apartments, dorm rooms, or offices, the Living and Home 87L Fridge Freezer offers a convenient and efficient solution for your refrigeration and freezing needs. Its key win is providing essential dual functionality within a small footprint, ensuring your food stays fresh and frozen. The main caveat is its 87L capacity, which is ideal for single users or small households but may be insufficient for larger families or extensive storage requirements. This appliance features a double-layer design for both chilling and freezing, organized interior shelving, and quiet operation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total capacity of this fridge freezer?

The Living and Home Fridge Freezer has a total storage capacity of 87 liters.

Is this unit suitable for a family of four?

Due to its compact 87L capacity, this unit is primarily designed for single individuals, couples, or as an auxiliary fridge. It may not provide sufficient storage for a family of four's regular grocery needs.

Does it have a frost-free feature?

> Info needed: [The product description does not specify if it is frost-free. If ice builds up in the freezer, manual defrosting will be required.]

How much space should I leave around the unit?

For optimal performance and ventilation, it's recommended to leave at least 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) of space around the sides and back of the refrigerator.

Can the door hinge be reversed?

> Info needed: [The product information does not specify if the door hinge is reversible. Please consult the full product manual or manufacturer for details.]

How do I adjust the temperature?

> Info needed: [The location and type of temperature control (e.g., dial, digital) are not specified. Please refer to the user manual for instructions on temperature adjustment.]

What is the recommended temperature setting?

Generally, the refrigerator compartment should be set between 2°C to 4°C (35°F to 40°F), and the freezer compartment at -18°C (0°F) or colder for optimal food safety and preservation. Adjust as needed based on your local climate and usage.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not turn on or cool.

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the outlet has power by testing it with another appliance. Check the thermostat setting; it might be set too high (warmer).

Fridge/Freezer not cooling efficiently.

Ensure the door is sealing properly and not left ajar. Check if the thermostat is set to a colder temperature. Make sure there is adequate space around the unit for air circulation. Avoid overpacking, which can block airflow.

Unusual noises (rattling, buzzing).

Verify the unit is level; adjust leveling feet if necessary. Ensure no objects are touching the back or sides of the refrigerator. Minor noises like gurgling are normal for refrigerant circulation.

Excessive ice buildup in freezer.

This indicates a need for defrosting (if manual defrost). Also, check the door seal for gaps that allow warm, moist air in. Avoid frequently opening the freezer door for extended periods.

Water pooling inside or outside the unit.

Check the drain hole (usually in the back of the fridge compartment) for blockages. Ensure the unit is level so condensation drains correctly. Verify the door seal is intact and closing fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Keep the unit upright during unboxing.
Placement: Choose a firm, level surface in a well-ventilated area. Allow at least `5-10 cm` of space around the sides and back for proper air circulation. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure the fridge is perfectly level. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
Initial Wait Time: After placement, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging the unit into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing potential compressor damage.
First Use: Plug into a dedicated wall outlet. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. Allow `2-4 hours` for the unit to reach optimal cooling temperatures before loading food.

Compatibility

This appliance is perfectly compatible with:

Small kitchens and kitchenettes.
Apartment living, especially studio or one-bedroom units.
Dorm rooms and student housing.
Home offices or professional workspaces.
Guest rooms or entertainment areas where extra cold storage is beneficial.

Its compact black design allows it to blend seamlessly into various interior styles.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning:

Interior: Unplug the unit. Remove all food items and shelves. Wash shelves, drawers, and interior surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly before replacing.
Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For the black finish, a microfiber cloth can help prevent streaks. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Defrosting: If the freezer compartment accumulates ice, it will need to be manually defrosted to maintain efficiency. > Info needed: [confirm if manual or auto defrost].

Unplug the unit. Remove all food. Place towels to catch meltwater.
Allow ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects to chip ice.
Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before plugging back in.

Door Seals: Regularly check and clean the door gaskets to ensure a tight seal. A dirty or damaged seal can lead to energy loss and inefficient cooling.
Power Outages: During long power outages, keep the door closed to maintain internal temperatures for as long as possible. Consider moving sensitive items to a cooler with ice if outages are prolonged.
