FAQs

How often do I need to defrost this fridge freezer?

You will never need to manually defrost this appliance. It features Total No Frost technology, which automatically prevents ice buildup in both the fridge and freezer compartments, saving you time and effort.

Can I control the temperature remotely?

Yes, you can control and monitor the temperature settings of your fridge and freezer remotely using the Hisense ConnectLife app on your smartphone. Simply download the app and pair it with your appliance.

What are the exact dimensions of this appliance?

The product dimensions are 1795 mm (Height) x 910 mm (Width) x 717 mm (Depth). Please ensure you have sufficient space for installation, including adequate clearance for ventilation.

Can I install this fridge freezer in my unheated garage or shed?

No, this Hisense fridge freezer is not designed for use in outbuildings, garages, or any unheated areas. Operating it in such conditions can damage the appliance, impair its performance, and may invalidate your warranty.

How does the non-plumbed water dispenser work?

The water dispenser has an internal tank located inside the fridge compartment. You simply remove this tank, fill it with fresh drinking water, and reinsert it. No external plumbing connection is required, offering greater flexibility in placement.

What does 'E energy efficiency class' mean?

The 'E' energy efficiency class indicates the appliance's energy consumption performance according to new EU regulations. While not the most efficient class available, the durable inverter compressor helps it operate efficiently within its rating, balancing performance with energy use.

What are recessed handles?

Recessed handles are handles that are integrated into the door panel, creating a flush and seamless exterior. This design choice provides a sleek, modern look and helps prevent accidental bumps or snags.

Troubleshooting

Appliance not cooling or cooling insufficiently.

Check if the power plug is securely inserted. Ensure the temperature settings are correct. Verify that the doors are fully closed and not obstructed. Check if the appliance is overloaded, blocking air vents. Make sure it's not placed in an unheated area or near a heat source.

Water dispenser not working or dispensing slowly.

Ensure the internal water tank is filled with water and correctly positioned. Check if the dispenser lever is pressed firmly. Verify that there are no blockages in the dispenser nozzle. For first-time use, it might take a moment for water to flow.

Unusual noises coming from the appliance.

Some noises (gurgling, humming, clicking) are normal for a fridge freezer, especially new inverter compressors. Ensure the appliance is level on the floor. Check if anything is vibrating against the back or sides of the unit. If the noise is excessive or unusual, consult your user manual.

ConnectLife app not connecting or controlling the appliance.

Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi is enabled. Verify the appliance is connected to your home Wi-Fi network and has a strong signal. Restart both your phone and the appliance (by unplugging for 5 minutes). Follow the app's pairing instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Placement: Choose a level surface indoors, away from direct sunlight and heat sources like ovens or radiators. Ensure there's adequate space around the appliance for ventilation (refer to your user manual for specific clearance requirements).
  2. Leveling: Use the adjustable feet to ensure the fridge freezer is perfectly level. This prevents unnecessary vibration and ensures the doors close properly.
  3. Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly grounded power outlet. Allow the unit to stand for at least 4 hours before turning it on to let the refrigerant settle.
  4. First Use: Once powered on, allow the appliance to run for several hours (ideally 24 hours) to reach its operating temperatures before loading with food.
  5. Water Dispenser: For the non-plumbed water dispenser, locate the internal water tank, remove it, fill with fresh drinking water, and reinsert it securely. Always use filtered water if your local tap water quality is poor.

  • No Defrosting Needed: Thanks to Total No Frost technology, you will not need to manually defrost the freezer compartment. This system automatically prevents ice buildup.
  • Water Dispenser Hygiene: Regularly clean the water tank and dispenser nozzle to prevent buildup and maintain water quality. For detailed cleaning instructions, consult your user manual.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings around the appliance are kept clear and unobstructed to maintain efficient operation and prevent overheating.
