Cooling and storage
The 244-litre fresh-food compartment offers ample room for everyday groceries, while the separate 26-litre four-star ice box provides space for essential frozen items. Multiflow cooling is designed to distribute cold air evenly throughout the fridge, helping maintain consistent storage conditions.
The LifePlus 0°C drawer adds a dedicated lower-temperature zone for foods such as meat, fish and cheese. A separate fruit and vegetable drawer with adjustable ventilation and humidity control is also designed to help produce retain its quality for longer.
Design and everyday usability
The glossy silver finish, chrome details and rounded profile give this freestanding fridge a strong retro presence. The internal styling continues the theme with chrome-finished balconies and glass shelf profiles.
Bright LED lighting on both sides of the interior should make it easier to see stored food. Electronic temperature control and a stated 35 dB noise level add convenience, while the SN-T climate class supports operation across a broad range of room temperatures.
Space and installation considerations
The appliance measures 1530 x 601 x 728 mm, so available height, width and depth should be checked carefully before purchase. Its right-hand hinge is an important layout consideration because the door-opening direction may not suit every kitchen.
As a fridge with an internal ice box, it prioritises fresh-food storage over freezer capacity. It is therefore best suited to shoppers who already have modest frozen-storage needs or a separate freezer elsewhere.
