Design and storage
The Union Jack glossy finish, rounded curves and chrome details make this a feature appliance rather than a purely functional cooling product. Its 244-litre fridge compartment provides substantial everyday storage, while the 26-litre four-star ice box is useful for smaller frozen-food requirements.
Inside, the dedicated fruit and vegetable compartment, glass shelving and door balconies provide practical organisation. The adjustable ventilation panel in the produce drawer is intended to help manage humidity and support fresher storage conditions.
Cooling and food preservation
MultiFlow cooling uses fan-assisted air circulation to distribute cold air around the refrigerator. The stated SN-T climate class allows operation in ambient temperatures from 10°C to 43°C, giving it broad suitability for typical indoor locations.
The LifePlus drawer offers a controlled temperature range between -2°C and +3°C. This creates a useful zone for foods such as meat, fish and cheese, and can also support slower thawing of frozen items.
Efficiency, noise and installation
The stated C energy rating, 104 kWh annual consumption and 35 dB noise level give the appliance a strong efficiency and quiet-operation profile on paper. LED lighting on both sides should make the interior easy to see while using less energy than traditional bulbs.
The appliance is freestanding and measures 1530 x 601 x 728 mm. Its fixed right-hand hinge is an important installation consideration, so the surrounding space should be checked carefully before purchase.
