The product information does not specify if the door hinge is reversible. Please consult the user manual or contact customer support for specific instructions on door reversal, as this feature varies by model.

Troubleshooting
Appliance not turning on / No power
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working wall socket. Test the socket with another appliance. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
Fridge/Freezer not cooling properly
Ensure the temperature settings are correct. Check if the door is fully closed and the seal is intact. Avoid overfilling the compartments. Make sure there's adequate ventilation around the appliance. Defrost the freezer if there's excessive ice buildup.
Excessive frost buildup in freezer
This is common for non-frost-free models. Perform a manual defrost. Ensure the freezer door is sealing properly and not left open frequently. Avoid placing hot food directly into the freezer.
Unusual noises (humming, gurgling)
Some noises are normal (e.g., refrigerant circulation, compressor hum). Ensure the appliance is level on a stable surface. Check that no objects are touching the back or sides of the appliance.
Water leaking inside or outside
Check if the drain hole (usually in the fridge compartment) is blocked and clear it. Ensure the appliance is level. Check the drip tray at the back (if applicable) for overflow.

Stylish Retro Aesthetic: The distinctive design and soft blue finish can significantly enhance kitchen decor.
Efficient Internal Organization: Multiple shelves, a wine rack, and a crisper drawer make organizing groceries simple and intuitive.
Space-Saving Design: Its compact dimensions allow for flexible placement in smaller living spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Check for any transit damage before installation.
Placement: Choose a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like ovens or radiators), and excessive moisture. Ensure there's adequate ventilation around the back and sides.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet (if available) to ensure the appliance is perfectly level. This prevents vibrations and helps the door seal properly.
Initial Standby: After moving the appliance, allow it to stand upright for at least 4 hours (or as per manufacturer's instructions) before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant gas to settle.
Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the interior with a soft cloth and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly.
Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly grounded wall socket.
Compatibility
This fridge freezer is suitable for various kitchen sizes, apartments, and offices due to its compact and space-efficient design.
Its classic retro aesthetic makes it compatible with a wide range of interior design styles, from traditional to contemporary.
Care & Maintenance
Regular Cleaning: Clean the interior and exterior regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Defrosting: If frost builds up in the freezer compartment (it's not specified as frost-free), manually defrost it periodically when the frost layer is approximately 5mm thick. Remove all food, turn off the appliance, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Wipe dry before restarting.
Door Seals: Periodically check door seals for cracks or gaps. Clean them gently to ensure a tight seal and prevent cold air loss.
Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation grilles at the back and sides are not blocked to allow proper airflow and efficient operation.
Power Outages: During long power outages, keep the doors closed as much as possible to maintain temperature.
