2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including foam and adhesive tape. Dispose of packaging responsibly. Ensure no parts are missing or damaged. It is recommended to keep the packaging for potential future transport.
2.2 Placement
Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (such as stoves, heaters), and extreme cold. Allow sufficient space around the appliance for proper ventilation. The dimensions of the product are 53 cm (Depth) x 54 cm (Width) x 143 cm (Height).

2.3 Leveling
Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
2.4 Door Reversal
The FrigeluX RDP215NE features reversible doors, allowing you to change the opening direction to suit your kitchen layout. Refer to the detailed diagram in the full manual for specific instructions on how to reverse the doors.
2.5 Power Connection
Connect the appliance to a dedicated 240 Volt power outlet (Type E – 2 pins, suitable for France). After moving or installing the refrigerator, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing damage to the cooling system.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Temperature Control
The refrigerator is equipped with a mechanical thermostat for temperature adjustment. Turn the dial inside the refrigerator compartment to set the desired cooling level. Higher numbers typically indicate colder temperatures.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Defrosting
- Refrigerator Compartment: The refrigerator section features an automatic defrosting system, minimizing ice buildup and reducing the need for manual defrosting.
- Freezer Compartment: The freezer compartment requires manual defrosting when ice accumulation becomes excessive (approximately 5mm thick). To defrost, unplug the appliance, remove all food, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly before restarting.
4.2 Cleaning
Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent and warm water to clean the interior and exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Regularly clean the door seals to ensure a tight closure.
5. Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer service, please check the following common issues:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator not cooling | Power outage; plug not inserted; temperature setting too high; door left open. | Check power supply; ensure plug is secure; adjust thermostat to a colder setting; ensure door is closed properly. |
| Unusual noises | Appliance not level; items touching the back wall; compressor noise (normal). | Level the appliance; rearrange items; normal operating sounds are expected. |
