Montpellier cooling

50/50 or 70/30?

The numbers show how the space is split between fridge and freezer. A 50/50 model gives equal space, which suits households that batch cook or buy a lot of frozen food. A 70/30 model gives more fridge space, which suits people who shop little and often for fresh food.

Frost free or manual defrost?

The integrated fridge freezers are frost free, so ice doesn’t build up and you never have to empty the freezer to defrost it. The undercounter freezer is manual defrost. That keeps things simple, but when a layer of ice builds up inside, you switch it off, move the food to a cool box and let it melt. How often depends on how much the door is opened.

Replacing an old integrated model

If a new fridge freezer is going into an existing housing, measure the housing rather than the old appliance, and check how your furniture door was fixed. Doors fitted to a fixed hinge may need new fixings or adjusting to work with a sliding hinge.

Fitting an integrated fridge freezer

Both integrated models use a sliding hinge. Your kitchen furniture door is fixed to the appliance door with runners and slides along them as it opens. The furniture door isn’t supplied, so you’ll need one that matches your units. Check the housing height and the ventilation the installation instructions ask for. Every brand’s models are on our integrated fridges and integrated fridge freezer pages.

An undercounter pair

Put the larder fridge and the freezer side by side under a worktop and you get fridge freezer storage without a tall appliance. It’s a neat fit for utility rooms, smaller kitchens and annexes. Both doors are reversible.

Before you buy

• Measure the space. Compare the housing or gap with the installation dimensions on the product page.
• Plan the door. Integrated models need a furniture door. Freestanding models need room for the door to open fully.
• Let it settle. After delivery, leave it standing for a few hours before you switch it on, as the instructions advise.

• Check the way in. Integrated fridge freezers are tall, so measure doorways, stairs and tight corners on the route to the kitchen.
