honeyclub 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2008 Actually, is the top of the fridge difficult to open/close ah? Handle is @ middle of the fridge? BTW, may I know why is this fridge so ex? I seen the fire engine red one. Nice. European? Full S/S? Branded? SMEG I believe is from Italy, yes it is full SS and I do believe it's ranked along side brands such as miele and gaggenau. These fridges look nice but I understand there were issues about their suitability operating in our local conditions. The situation could have been rectified now though. Hey eagle, was there such an issue, please do tell which brands in particular were facing this. Were issues pinned towards the humidity of our climate? Thanks!

applefreak 1 Report post Posted September 28, 2008 yes the issue is the humidity of our climate don't think it's really such a big issue the fridge might only last 8 years instead of 15 in their country but will you keep a fridge for 15 years, taking the higher electricity consumption into consideration?

marc31kelly 2 Report post Posted September 28, 2008 hey AF, the remote was installed when the electricians installed my lights. I believe it would be easier if you have a false ceiling. The fundamentals are very much like a TV remote there are 4 buttons A to D so what happened is that i have A linked to my dining light, B to 4 sets of down lights at my TV area and C to 7 lights for my foyer and dining area and D basically lights all up. So rather than having a 4 gang switch, i have a remote control that i can switch on and off from anywhere within my living area and dining even kitchen given the fact my flat is small. You can head to Chan Huat at Balestier for a demo i bought it there around 20+ for the gadget and installation was free for me. Hope this helps dude Hey bro I got it from Chan Huat their main/flagship store in Balestier. Price is around $25 and thanks for the comment. I am eagerly awaiting my carpentry work to begin, going to customize a fish tank underneath the feature wall hee hee hi honeyclub, i am also very interested in this remote control can to share to brand on the remote?? thank you ver much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honeyclub 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 hi honeyclub, i am also very interested in this remote control can to share to brand on the remote?? thank you ver much hi, im not sure of the model but I believe the most prudent way is to remember how the remote looks on in my picture and ask them for it. They probably only have around 2-3 models but best guide is their using the exact same remote in their showroom. The blurdy electricians threw the boxes away so can't really recall the brand, apologies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honeyclub 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 some new entries washer and dryer is finally in, now I can truly feel how puny my kitchen in ..h..oo..ray.. ah notice that some tiles are removed cause not up to par in terms of standards our floor is done, we went for laminate as it seems to make monetary sense, anyways we're building a bay windos seatee if that's what it's called closer look ladyboss loves butterflies so we decided to get the white diamantini & domeniconi clock against our red wall...honestly I feel the butterflies will scare her one day as she's pretty scared of moths... saw this while buying the butterfly clock, will be getting this before Christmas think it's a neat idea. You can find this at XZQT thanks honeyclub for the intro went to chan huat they have all kinds of stuff there for your models it 29.95 SGD for the px and now they have the same model but with dimmer 38 bucks quite cool man am considering getting it aye SF do get it, I feel it's worth the moolah. Honestly, this is a saving grace, we saved quite alot simply by getting this and not installing additional switches. Also, you can bargain for the price I got mine at $25 Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have to, if the remote is dead, just have to use the switch to toggle the lights. Also, place the module at a designated point that is easy to access for example close to a downlight so when it's gone, you can easily replace it. Anyways most electricians will be able to fix this no issues. good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, your right in saying that with only 1 switch on, the rest is via the remote huh? wat do u mean use the switch to toggle the lights? i tot u use this remote? than no more install the switch liao? dis module not from anywhere can on n off all the light points in the house one? how come need place at a designated point? how to replace? buy a new switch? no need program? i better check with my ID if his electrician knows how to. dun wanna end up with a white elephant lying at home. placing it at a designated spot allows you to change the module should it fail. It just makes refreshing the hardware earier. Don't need to buy new switch and programming is more of how the electrician circuits the lights, it's pretty easy as my electrician understands what this remote is about and how I wanted my lights segemented.

So rest assured it's fine. Tomorrow collecting sink and carpentry work will start tomorrow as well, probably another update on Sunday. Cheerios Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
