With a unique blackboard-effect finish that allows for creative customization, this 270-litre unit is perfect for kitchens that double as social hubs; however, potential buyers should note that it requires specific clearance on the hinge side for the door to open fully, making precise kitchen planning essential.

No, this specific model features a fixed right-hand hinge and the door is not reversible.
The door is designed to be used with standard chalk or liquid chalk markers.
Clean with a dry chalkboard eraser or a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the matte texture.
No, it includes a manual ice cube tray in the freezer compartment.
This unit is rated SN-T, meaning it is designed to operate efficiently in ambient temperatures ranging from 10°C to 43°C.
The appliance is designed to maintain food storage safety for up to 9 hours during a power failure.
Ensure the fridge is level using the adjustable feet and that it is not touching surrounding walls or cabinets.
Check that the thermostat is set correctly and ensure the door is fully closed; confirm the vents for the Multi-Airflow system are not blocked by food items.
The icebox is not frost-free; perform a manual defrost by turning the unit off or setting the thermostat to stop cooling until the ice melts.
For installation, ensure the appliance is placed on a level surface using the adjustable feet. Because this model uses a right-hand hinge, it is critical to account for the door swing radius. When placing the unit next to a wall or cabinetry, you must maintain a gap of at least 175mm on the hinged side to allow the door to open fully, which is necessary for removing drawers and shelves.
Care is straightforward: the exterior blackboard finish can be wiped clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth or a chalkboard eraser. The interior should be cleaned using mild detergent and water. The fridge compartment features automatic defrosting, but the 26-litre icebox requires manual defrosting periodically to prevent ice build-up, which ensures the unit continues to run efficiently.
