Iconic Smeg retro design
The FAB28 coloured refrigerators have become a cult object of style and creativity, and the Smeg FAB28LRD5UK stays true to that heritage. Rounded curves, a gloss red finish and refined chrome detailing create a distinctive look, while the coordinated interior and exterior styling adds to its premium feel.
Spacious and practical food storage
This one door fridge offers well-organised storage for fresh and frozen essentials. Inside, you will find 2 adjustable glass shelves, 1 fruit and vegetable drawer on sliding rails, and a LifePlus 0°C drawer designed to help keep meat and fish fresher for longer at a lower temperature.
The inner door includes 1 door shelf with transparent cover, 1 adjustable door shelf with wire support, and 1 bottle shelf with wire support, making it easy to organise smaller items and bottles neatly.
Even cooling performance
The MultiFlow Cooling System distributes cold air evenly throughout the refrigerator to support ideal temperature and humidity levels for food storage. With fan-assisted cooling in the refrigerator compartment, the appliance is designed to maintain more even temperatures across the cabinet.
Electronic temperature control allows you to adjust and monitor the internal temperature electronically or manually via the side thermostat. The fridge also features automatic defrost in the refrigerator section, while the internal freezer compartment is manually defrosted.
Thoughtful everyday features
LED lighting provides clear visibility inside the fridge, while an acoustic and visual door open alarm helps protect stored food. An antibacterial gasket adds another practical touch, and the variable speed compressor supports efficient day-to-day operation.
