Is it possible to change the door opening direction on the refrigerator?

Yes, for most models, it is possible to change the door opening direction. We recommend checking the appliance manual for specific instructions or contacting an authorized service center.

Can the refrigerator be transported lying down?

Transporting the refrigerator lying down is not recommended, as this may damage the compressor. If transporting it horizontally is unavoidable, leave the refrigerator standing upright for at least 24 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

The new refrigerator has warm side walls after starting. Is that normal?

Yes, this is normal. The condenser may be integrated into the side walls of the refrigerator and releases heat from the interior. As a result, the side walls may become warm during operation.

The new refrigerator does not have visible fins on the outside of the back wall, but some kind of cardboard. Should we remove it?

No, do not remove this cover. The material resembling cardboard serves as protection and insulation for the rear part of the appliance. Only remove protective elements that are explicitly identified as transport protection in the manual.

The compressor/motor of the new refrigerator turns on very frequently and runs for a long time. Is that normal?

Yes, especially when the refrigerator is switched on for the first time. It is normal for the compressor to run for longer periods while the appliance reaches the required temperature. Models with an inverter compressor may run continuously for longer periods at a lower power level.

There is a plastic tube covered with tape on the compressor of the new refrigerator. Should I remove it?

No. Do not remove plastic, tape, or other protective elements from components unless the manual explicitly identifies them as transport protection that should be removed. If you are unsure, check the installation manual.

There is a large amount of moisture or water in the vegetable drawer. What should I do?

Check whether the drainage channel on the back wall of the refrigerator is blocked. Excessive moisture can also be caused by storing unwashed, wet, or unpackaged vegetables.

What is the difference between No Frost and Low Frost?

No Frost technology uses air circulation to significantly reduce frost formation in the freezer, so manual defrosting is generally not required. Low Frost also reduces frost formation, but occasional manual defrosting may still be necessary.

Is it possible to adjust the temperature of the freezer separately?

Yes, most combined refrigerators allow the freezer temperature to be adjusted independently of the cooling compartment. The recommended freezer temperature is approximately −18 °C.

Why does the refrigerator activate the Supercooling and Superfreezing functions on its own?

Some models can activate these functions automatically, for example after the door has been open for a longer period or when a large amount of fresh food has been placed inside. Their purpose is to quickly restore the optimal temperature.

Water is dripping down the back wall of the cooling compartment. Is that normal?

Yes, in most cases this is a normal part of the automatic defrosting cycle. The water runs into the drainage channel and then evaporates. If water starts accumulating inside the refrigerator, check whether the drain opening is blocked.

Why does the Alarm beep and flash after connecting the new refrigerator? Is it an error?

No, this does not necessarily indicate a fault. After the initial connection, the Alarm may indicate that the internal temperature has not yet reached the required level. Once the refrigerator has cooled sufficiently, the alarm should switch off automatically.

The Alarm is flashing on the refrigerator, but the temperature inside has not changed. What does this mean?

The Alarm may also indicate other conditions, such as an open door or a power failure. Check the display for a specific error code and consult the appliance manual if necessary.

After changing the door opening direction, the fruit and vegetable drawers cannot be pulled out. What should I do?

Check that the doors have been installed correctly and can open to a sufficient angle. The problem may also be caused by incorrectly positioned or adjusted hinges.

Can oven trays fit in the refrigerator?

Standard oven trays will not fit in most conventional refrigerators. However, some models may offer a special compartment or flexible interior arrangement that allows larger items to be stored.

Is it possible to turn off the freezer or cooling compartment separately?

This depends on the specific model. Some refrigerators allow one of the compartments to be temporarily deactivated, while this function is not available on standard models.

How long should the appliance be left standing after transport before connecting it?

After transportation, especially if the refrigerator was not kept upright, it is recommended to leave it standing for several hours before connecting it to the power supply. A safe option is 4–6 hours, ideally up to 24 hours. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions in the manual.

Can the shelves and drawers be removed when the door is open at a 90° angle?

For most models, the door needs to be opened wider than 90° to remove the shelves and drawers comfortably. The exact required opening angle depends on the specific model and can be found in the product's technical specifications.
