Frost-Free
Frost-Free
Never want to defrost your freezer again? Then look no further than a Frost Free model. Air is circulated throughout the appliance to prevent frost build up, and also means that food items don't stick together, so it's easier to take out single items without defrosting a full pack.
Fridge Sizes
The most important consideration when buying a fridge freezer is, "how much space have I got?". Standard free-standing fridge freezers are commonly available in the following widths to fit most standard kitchen spaces:
-
50cm
-
55cm
-
60cm
-
70cm
Storage Capacity
How you shop for your food is an important consideration when choosing your fridge freezer. If you shop regularly, prefer fresh produce and only use the freezer compartment for storing things like frozen vegetables, ice cream and ice cubes, then you may wish to consider a larger fridge area. If you prefer to buy in bulk and enjoy the convenience of frozen food, then choose a model with a bigger freezer.

Energy Saving Tips
Save Energy & Money by following these simple steps:
Regularly defrost your freezer, or select a frost-free version - ice build up significantly reduces cooling efficiency and results in higher energy use.
Locate your appliance in an area with low ambient temperature, i.e. away from radiators, cookers or from direct sunlight.
Keep your freezer well stocked, frozen food items require less energy to maintain cool temperatures than air.
Always close the door.
Look out for the energy saving recommended logo on fridges & freezers.
