Iconic 50’s style in glossy black

Chrome accents coordinate beautifully across the interior and exterior, while the heat-moulded door, steel sides and gloss black finish create a timeless look that has made the FAB28 range a true cult favourite.
Spacious and practical food storage
With a 244 litre chilled food capacity and a 26 litre frozen compartment, this one-door fridge is designed to keep everyday groceries neatly organised. Inside, you will find 2 adjustable glass shelves, 1 fruit and vegetable drawer on sliding rails, a glass crisper cover, 1 door shelf with transparent cover, 1 adjustable door shelf with wire support and 1 bottle shelf with wire support.
A dedicated Life Plus 0°C drawer provides an ideal space for meat, fish and other delicate items, helping preserve freshness for longer.
Even cooling and simple temperature control
The MultiFlow cooling system distributes cold air evenly throughout the refrigerator to help maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels for effective food storage. Fan-assisted refrigeration supports even cooling, while the freezer compartment uses static cooling.
An electronic temperature control with side thermostat allows you to adjust and monitor the internal temperature with ease. The fridge also features automatic defrost in the refrigerator and manual defrost in the freezer for straightforward maintenance.
