Design and capacity
The gloss-white finish, rounded form and chrome detailing give this freestanding appliance a strong retro presence. It is intended to be seen rather than concealed, making it particularly suitable for kitchens where styling matters.
The 331-litre total capacity is divided into 234 litres for refrigeration and 97 litres for freezing. Two adjustable glass shelves, a covered fruit and vegetable drawer and several door shelves provide useful flexibility for fresh food, bottles and everyday items.
Cooling and food storage
Total No Frost double cooling is designed to provide automatic defrosting, while MultiFlow circulation and a fan help distribute cooled air through the refrigerator compartment. This should make routine ownership less demanding than a manually defrosted appliance.
The LifePlus 0°C drawer is intended for fresh meat, fish and cheese, and the fast-freeze function helps lower the freezer temperature when newly added food needs rapid freezing. The freezer provides three drawers, glass shelving and a flap-covered compartment.
Controls, efficiency and installation
Electronic temperature control and an interior LED display provide access to holiday, fast-freezing, fast-cooling, ECO and temperature-alarm functions. Acoustic and visual door-open warnings add reassurance if the door is left ajar.
The appliance has a D energy rating, quoted annual consumption of 204 kWh and noise emission class C. Its 1968 mm height and 103.4 kg weight make installation planning important, while the right-hand hinge should be checked against the kitchen layout before purchase.
