Design and storage
The appliance pairs a gloss-black finish, rounded 50’s-inspired styling and chrome details with a freestanding 60 cm format. This makes it a prominent visual feature while retaining a familiar fridge-freezer layout.
The 70/30 split provides 234 litres of refrigerator space and 97 litres of freezer space. The three-drawer freezer arrangement, including a fast-freezing compartment, gives the frozen section a straightforward organisation system.
Cooling and food preservation
Total No Frost cooling helps prevent ice build-up in the freezer, removing the need for routine manual defrosting. MultiFlow air circulation is designed to distribute cold air evenly through the fridge compartment.
The LifePlus drawer offers a controlled temperature zone from -2°C to +3°C, giving users a dedicated place for foods such as meat, fish and cheese. Internal electronic controls and white LED lighting add practical visibility and temperature-management convenience.
Everyday operation and installation
The stated 35 dB noise level and inverter compressor suggest a relatively unobtrusive presence in a kitchen or open-plan living space. LED light strips on both sides of the fridge should make stored food easier to see.
Before choosing it, check the 601 mm width, fixed right-hand hinge and available clearance around the door. Those installation details are particularly important because the supplied information does not indicate a reversible hinge option.
