Usually the bigger the fridge freezer it occupied
, more things it can store inside ,but thats not
always the case
Manufacturers tell consumer the internal space in
the specification , but these figures can be
misleading, because shelves, drawers and door
racks can take some space for themselves . the
biggest difference between manufacturers claimed
capacities and real storage space could up two
20 percent , and the best way to find out is to
check it out your self before you place the order.

food, while some will make ice, dispense filtered
water and balance out humidity levels in your
salad crisper drawer to help fruit and veg last
longer.

,the higher the price will be ,usually the new
model will have the most number of feature ,but
they are quite expensive, and your will not need
all of these feature,so just choose the one
thats suit you in your budget .

features above in your fridge freezer ,they will

11
If you just wanty to get a basic fridge freezer,
wed recommend choosing one has glass shelves,
rather than wire ones, this can help to prevent
meat and food juices dripping onto the items on
the shelf below. And transparent freezer drawers
will help you see at a glance what youve got
stored in your freezer rather to open them one by
one to find out.
The color of Fridge freezer
Usually There are a variety of colors you can
choose from a model, choose the color best suit
for the envirment . black or more colourful model
to suit the style of your kitchen. These are
usually a bit more expensive than the basic white
color. A stainless steel or brushed steel finish
style will cost more.
12
climate class of a Fridge freezer
Every fridge freezer has a climate class,that
tells you the range of room temperatures its
designed to work within. Most UK fridge freezers
have a climate class of SN , that means it will
work in rooms with a temperature range from 10C
to 32C.
One thing you must do when you buy a fridge
freezer is to check the climate class of the
model you want to buy , make sure its working
temperature is going to be ok
There are some N class models available in the
UK. These are designed to work in rooms that
dont fall below 16C, so theyre not suitable
for chilly kitchens. Unless you keep the central
heating switched on overnight during the winter,
we wouldnt recommend buying a N, ST or T class
of refrigeration appliance.
13
Energy consume of Fridge freezer
As long as Your fridge freezer is on there will
be energy consumption , as the energy become more
and more expensive , you will absolutely need a
energy efficient fridge freezer
Every fridge freezer has an energy label bar on
it to show how energy efficient it is, and new
models come with an A, A or A label, among
them the A rating is the most efficient one.
Although the one with higher rating usually will
be more expensive than the lower one , but trust
me thats worth the monry.
14
Energy labels vs running costs
Energy labels means the efficiency of the fridge
freezer ,the total energy consumption is
determine by the efficiency and the size of the
appliance which is based on manufacturers
claimed capacities. But since we dont think
these capacities are a real reflection of the
amount of food storage room , so we rate how
energy efficient a fridge freezer is at cooling
the space you can actually use for storing .
Weve found that two similarly sized fridge
freezers with the same energy rating can have
very different at the actual running costs.
For example, the Bosch KGV33NW20G and the
Hotpoint FUFM171P are both labelled A and have
about the same amount of usable storage space
230 litres and 234 litres, respectively. The
Bosch costs 37 a year to run, yet the Hotpoint
costs 52 thats 15 more. Add the difference
up over the fridge freezers lifetime, and you
would end up forking out much more than you need
to.
