Storage and cooling
The fridge provides 244 litres of fresh-food storage, supported by glass shelves, door balconies and a dedicated fruit and vegetable drawer. The adjustable perforated panel in the produce drawer allows ventilation and humidity to be tailored to the contents.
Multiflow cooling distributes cold air around the refrigerator compartment, while the LifePlus drawer offers a controlled temperature zone between -2°C and +3°C for perishable foods. The separate 26-litre ice box is useful for occasional frozen storage, but it is not a substitute for a full-size freezer.
Design, controls and everyday practicality
The glossy yellow finish and rounded 50's Style design make this a statement appliance rather than a purely functional white good. Chrome detailing continues across the exterior and interior for a coordinated appearance.
Electronic temperature control, side-mounted adjustment and LED light strips on both sides make the appliance straightforward to manage and use. The inverter compressor is intended to reduce noise and vibration, while the fixed right-hand hinge makes checking the opening direction an important part of installation planning.
