Description – 198L Chest Fridge or Freezer - White

The 198L Chest Fridge or Freezer - White provides flexible food storage within a practical chest-style appliance. Measuring W 770mm x D 560mm x H 850mm, its 198L capacity provides substantial room for groceries, beverages, meal preparation supplies, frozen food and bulk purchases.

A major advantage is the interchangeable fridge and freezer operation. With an adjustable temperature range from 10°C down to -30°C, the appliance can be configured according to changing storage requirements. This makes it useful when extra refrigeration is needed for fresh food and drinks or when additional freezer space is required for meat, seafood, frozen vegetables and prepared meals.

Hybrid Inverter technology supports efficient and adaptable operation across the available temperature range. Super Freeze provides faster freezing when required, making it particularly useful when adding new groceries or preparing suitable food for longer-term frozen storage.

The built-in High Temperature Alarm provides additional monitoring when operating as a freezer. If the internal temperature becomes too high, including following a power interruption, the alarm alerts users so they can check stored food and take appropriate action.

Power Failure Memory helps restore previous operating settings following a power interruption. A control lock can also be activated by pressing Super Freeze for three seconds, while Sleep mode can be activated by pressing Temp and Super Freeze together for five seconds.

One wire basket is included to help organise smaller and frequently accessed products near the top of the compartment. Adjustable feet assist with positioning, while the drainage hole makes manual defrosting and emptying more convenient when required.

The appliance carries a 6 Star energy rating when operating as a fridge and a 4.5 Star rating when operating as a freezer. It operates at 220 to 240V and 50Hz with a rated current of 0.6A and uses R600a refrigerant with a stated amount of 53g.

For delivery, two strong people must be onsite to receive the appliance and assist with lifting. After delivery and positioning, the appliance should remain switched off for eight hours before being turned on to allow it to settle.
