Design and capacity
This refrigerator is designed to be a visible part of the kitchen, with rounded 50s-style curves, chrome accents and a Perfectly Pale matt finish. Its freestanding 60cm format offers a balance between visual impact and manageable width.
The 244-litre fridge compartment provides the majority of the appliance’s storage, while the 26-litre internal ice box adds limited frozen-food flexibility without turning the appliance into a full fridge-freezer.
Cooling and food storage
Multiflow cooling and fan-assisted airflow are intended to distribute cold air more evenly throughout the refrigerator. The LifePlus drawer provides a separately controlled low-temperature zone from -2°C to +3°C for foods such as meat, fish and cheese.
The fruit and vegetable compartment includes humidity control, which is designed to help preserve produce. Bright LED strips on both sides, together with the side thermostat, should make everyday loading and temperature adjustment straightforward.
Everyday operation
The inverter compressor is described as helping to reduce noise and vibration, which should suit open-plan kitchens and living spaces. The SN-T climate class indicates operation across a broad ambient temperature range from 10°C to 43°C.
Energy class C and LED lighting point to a reasonably efficient specification for a large freestanding fridge, although the available product information does not provide annual energy consumption or noise figures.
