Its design features chunky handles and rounded edges, finished in black with chrome accents, making it a statement piece for any kitchen. With a total usable capacity of 331 litres, it provides ample storage space organised across a 60/40 split between the fridge and freezer compartments.

This is complemented by an automatic defrost function in the fridge that operates at regular intervals. Key functional features include a dedicated LifePlus zone within the fridge, which can be set to 0°C for optimal preservation of meat and fish. The fridge section contains three adjustable glass shelves and a fruit and vegetable drawer, while the freezer includes three drawers, one of which is designated for fast freezing. Interior LED lighting offers energy-efficient illumination. From a technical perspective, the appliance has a gross capacity of 365 litres, a freezing capacity of 5kg per 24 hours, and operates at a relatively quiet 41 dB(A) noise level. It is designed for climatic classes SN-T, making it suitable for a wide range of ambient temperatures. This fridge freezer is well-suited for households seeking a blend of aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. Its substantial capacity makes it ideal for families or those who entertain regularly. The No Frost technology and adjustable storage options simplify food management and maintenance. The retro design seamlessly integrates into both period-inspired and contemporary kitchen décors, offering a focal point without compromising on modern convenience and reliable food preservation performance.
