FAQs
Does this fridge have a freezer compartment?
No, the Living and Home 93L Fridge is a refrigerator-only unit. It is designed solely for chilling and short-term cooling of fresh items, not for freezing.
How do I adjust the temperature?
The fridge features an adjustable thermostat, usually a dial or knob located inside the unit. Turn it to your desired setting between 1°C and 10°C. Lower numbers typically mean colder temperatures.
Can I reverse the door opening direction?
Yes, this model features reversible door hinges. Instructions for changing the door swing from right to left (or vice-versa) can be found in the product's user manual.
What is the 'E' energy rating?
The 'E' energy efficiency class indicates its performance under new European energy labeling standards. It signifies that the appliance operates with a moderate level of energy consumption, helping to manage running costs.
How often should I clean the fridge?
It's recommended to clean the interior every 1-3 months, or as needed, especially if there are spills. The removable shelves make this process easier. The exterior can be wiped down weekly.
Is it suitable for outdoor use or in a garage?
This fridge is designed for indoor use. While it might function in a garage, extreme ambient temperatures (either very hot or very cold) can affect its efficiency and lifespan. It's best used in a climate-controlled environment.
What are the dimensions of the fridge?
The dimensions are 47.2 cm (W) x 45 cm (D) x 86 cm (H), making it a compact option for various spaces.
Troubleshooting
**Fridge Not Turning On**
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your circuit breaker or fuse box. Verify the thermostat is not set to 'Off' or its highest (warmest) setting.
**Not Cooling Effectively**
Confirm the adjustable thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature (e.g., between 3°C and 5°C). Ensure the door is fully closed and the seal is intact. Check for proper ventilation around the unit and avoid overloading it, which can restrict airflow.
**Excessive Noise**
Ensure the fridge is level using the adjustable feet. Make sure the unit is not touching any walls or cabinets, which can amplify vibrations. A slight humming from the high-efficiency compressor is normal.
**Water Accumulating Inside**
This can happen if the drain hole (usually at the back of the interior) is blocked. Unplug the fridge and gently clear the drain hole with a thin, flexible tool (e.g., pipe cleaner). Also, ensure the door seal is not letting warm air in.
**Door Not Closing Properly**
Check if food items or shelves are obstructing the door. Inspect the door gasket for tears or dirt that might prevent a proper seal. If the door was reversed, re-check the alignment of the reversible door hinges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Living and Home 93L Fridge, follow these guidelines.
Setup Instructions
- Unpack Thoroughly: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including internal tape and foam. Keep packaging for potential returns.
- Allow to Settle: After transport, let the fridge stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in. This allows compressor oils to settle.
- Placement: Choose a dry, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight, heat sources (ovens, radiators), and extreme cold. Ensure there's adequate clearance around the unit for air circulation (Info needed: [Consult manual for recommended clearance]).
- Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom to ensure the fridge is perfectly level. This prevents vibrations and ensures the door seals properly.
- Reversible Door (Optional): If you need to change the door's opening direction, refer to the user manual for instructions on how to reverse the door hinges.
- Power Connection: Plug the fridge into a dedicated, grounded power outlet. Avoid using extension cords.
- Initial Cooling: Set the adjustable thermostat to a medium setting (e.g., 3-5°C) and allow the fridge to cool down for several hours (at least 2-4) before storing food.
Compatibility
- Electrical: Compatible with standard household electrical outlets (voltage Info needed: [Check product label or manual for exact voltage/Hz]).
- Space: Its compact dimensions (47.2 x 45 x 86 cm W x D x H) make it suitable for tight spaces in homes, offices, workshops, and dorms.
- Environment: Designed for indoor use in typical room temperatures. Avoid placing in unheated garages or outdoor areas where extreme temperatures could affect performance.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning Interior: Unplug the fridge. Remove removable shelves and wash them with warm, soapy water. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly.
- Cleaning Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Door Seal: Regularly check the door seal for dirt or damage. Clean it with a damp cloth to ensure a tight seal and efficient cooling.
- Defrosting: As a refrigerator-only unit, it may require manual defrosting if ice builds up on the back wall. Unplug the unit, remove food, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Clean and dry thoroughly before plugging back in.
- Energy Saving Tips: Keep the door closed as much as possible. Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the fridge. Defrost when ice build-up is more than 0.5 cm thick.
