With an extra-large capacity of 588L, it provides ample space for 33 shopping bags, so you can easily fit all your groceries in. Adjustable shelves give added flexibility to accommodate larger items effortlessly. Dual No Frost technology is our best solution to keep your fridge and freezer frost-free. Two independent evaporators circulate air around both the fridge and freezer so ice and moisture can't build up, meaning you won't be left with the chore of defrosting your appliance ever again. Inside you'll find two specially designed FreshShield drawers which keep your fruit and vegetables fresh by circulating cool air slowly, maintaining the ideal temperature and humidity while preventing water droplets from forming. Even Flow technology also gently distributes consistent, cool air across every shelf, helping to maintain a stable temperature that preserves the taste and nutrients of your fruit and vegetables while reducing weight loss. Meanwhile, our quiet and durable Inverter Compressor immediately reacts to the door being opened, swiftly restoring a stable temperature to keep your food fresh and energy bills lower. The Fast Freeze function allows you to quickly freeze your food. It means when you return home with groceries and place them into your freezer, the function will rapidly drop the temperature of the appliance to help maintain the freshness of your food. Outside, the integrated water dispenser lets you quench your thirst instantly with quick and easy access to chilled water.
