FAQs
What is the total capacity of the fridge and freezer?
The Swan Retro Under Counter Fridge offers a total capacity of 90 liters, with a 77-liter fridge compartment and a 13-liter freezer section.
Does this fridge require special installation?
No, it's designed to fit seamlessly under standard worktops. Simply ensure adequate ventilation around the unit and level it properly using the adjustable feet before plugging it in.
How often do I need to defrost the freezer?
The 13-liter freezer compartment is manual defrost. It should be defrosted when the ice layer reaches a thickness of approximately 3-5mm to maintain efficiency.
What is the recommended temperature setting?
For optimal food preservation, a common recommended temperature for the fridge compartment is between 2°C and 4°C (35°F and 40°F). Adjust the internal thermostat accordingly.
Is this fridge suitable for a garage or unheated space?
Appliances are generally designed for specific ambient temperature ranges (usually 10°C to 38°C or 50°F to 100°F). Operating outside this range can affect performance and energy efficiency. Consult your user manual for specific climate class information.
How do I clean the interior of the fridge?
Unplug the fridge before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Remove shelves and drawers for easier access and clean them separately. Wipe dry thoroughly before reloading food and plugging back in.
Troubleshooting
Fridge is not cooling or not cold enough.
Check if the power plug is securely inserted. Ensure the temperature control knob is set to an appropriate level (e.g., medium setting). Verify that the door is closing completely and the seal is intact. Avoid placing hot food inside directly. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
Appliance is making unusual noises.
A slight humming sound is normal. If the noise is loud or unusual, check if the fridge is level. Ensure no objects are touching the back or sides of the appliance, causing vibrations. If the compressor is running continuously, refer to cooling issues.
Water pooling inside the fridge.
This often indicates a blocked drain hole at the back of the fridge. Clear the drain hole with a thin wire or pipe cleaner. Ensure food items are not touching the back wall, which can cause condensation.
Interior light is not working.
Ensure the fridge is powered on. The light bulb may need replacement. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to access and replace the bulb, or contact customer support.
Door is not closing properly.
Check if the fridge is level. Inspect the door gasket (seal) for any damage, dirt, or obstructions. Ensure shelves or food items inside are not blocking the door from closing fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Allow the fridge to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant fluids to settle.
Placement: Position the fridge on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, especially at the back and sides, to allow heat dissipation. Do not place it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom to ensure the fridge is perfectly level. This helps with door alignment and efficient operation.
Power Connection: Plug the fridge into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements.
Compatibility:
This appliance is specifically designed for under-counter installation. Measure your available space carefully to ensure a proper fit.

Care:
Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the interior and exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning.
Defrosting: The 13-liter freezer section will require manual defrosting when ice buildup reaches approximately 3-5mm thickness. Turn off the appliance, remove contents, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Wipe dry before restarting.
Door Seal Maintenance: Keep the door seal clean and free of debris to ensure a tight seal and maintain energy efficiency.
Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation grilles at the back of the appliance remain unobstructed to prevent overheating and maintain optimal performance.
