That’s a great request. The TCL F117SDS Single Door Refrigerator is a compact model, and the detailed specifications show it is excellent for small apartments, offices, or as a secondary fridge.¹

Here is a breakdown of the detailed information, often referencing the very similar TCL F95SD model that shares the same compact specifications

1. Manual Defrosting (Direct Cool)

What it means: The cooling system works by chilling the interior walls, causing frost to build up directly.
User Action: Unlike “No Frost” models, this requires manual defrosting. This should be done when the layer of frost in the freezer compartment reaches about $3 \text{ mm}$ to $5 \text{ mm}$ thick to maintain efficiency. You would switch the unit off, allow the ice to melt, and then clean and restart it.

2. Reversible Door

The door hinge is designed so it can be installed on either the left or right side. This is a highly valuable feature for flexibility when placing the fridge in tight spaces or corners (like under a counter or in a specific office layout).

3. Internal Organization

Adjustable Glass Shelves: The main compartment features durable, easy-to-clean glass shelves that can be moved to accommodate taller items.²
Crisper Drawer: Includes a small drawer at the bottom for storing fruits and vegetables to help maintain their freshness.
Door Racks: Includes storage racks in the door, often with space for taller bottles.

4. Energy Efficiency

The use of the R600a refrigerant and a low-noise, efficient compressor ensures that this compact unit is designed to save power while providing reliable cooling.

This fridge is a functional, no-frills option that prioritizes reliability and suitability for small spaces.
