Frequently Asked Questions About the FAB38LBL6
What is the capacity of the Smeg FAB38LBL6 fridge freezer?
The Smeg FAB38LBL6 provides a total storage capacity of 481 litres. This includes 344 litres of fresh-food storage and 137 litres of freezer space, making it a practical choice for larger households and regular family shopping.
Is the Smeg FAB38LBL6 a frost-free fridge freezer?
Yes. This model uses a Total No Frost double-cooling system to prevent ice build-up and remove the need for manual freezer defrosting. Separate cooling circuits also help maintain suitable conditions in the fridge and freezer compartments.
Which side is the door hinged on?
The Smeg FAB38LBL6 has a left-hand hinge, so the doors are hinged on the left and open from the right. The hinge position is fixed, rather than reversible, so it is important to check that it suits your kitchen layout before ordering.
What are the dimensions of the Smeg FAB38LBL6?
The appliance measures 2050mm high, 706mm wide and 771mm deep without the handle. Its depth increases to 811mm with the handle fitted, so allow sufficient space when planning the installation.
How much clearance does the Smeg FAB38LBL6 need?
When installing the appliance next to a wall or kitchen unit, a gap of at least 175mm should be left on the hinged side. This provides enough clearance for the doors to open correctly and gives better access to the internal drawers and shelves.
Does the Smeg FAB38LBL6 have separate temperature controls?
Yes. An internal LED display provides electronic temperature control for the fridge and freezer compartments. Its internal position keeps the gloss-black exterior uncluttered while allowing you to adjust the cooling settings as required.
What is the LifePlus 0°C drawer used for?
The LifePlus drawer maintains a controlled temperature of approximately -2°C to +3°C. It is designed to help preserve perishable foods such as meat, fish and cheese for longer than a standard refrigerator shelf.
How is the fridge compartment organised?
The refrigerator includes three adjustable glass shelves, a fruit and vegetable drawer, a low-temperature compartment, three adjustable door shelves and a bottle shelf. LED lighting helps provide clear visibility throughout the compartment.
How is the freezer compartment organised?
The 137-litre freezer includes two drawers, two glass shelves and one compartment with a flap. This arrangement makes it easier to separate everyday frozen groceries from larger or less frequently used items.
Does the Smeg FAB38LBL6 include an ice maker?
Yes. This model includes a manual ice maker inside the freezer compartment. It does not require a plumbed water connection, making installation more straightforward.
Does it have a fast-freezing function?
Yes. The fast-freezing function rapidly lowers the freezer temperature before fresh food is added. This helps newly added groceries freeze more quickly while reducing their effect on food already stored in the compartment.
How noisy is the Smeg FAB38LBL6?
The Smeg FAB38LBL6 has a stated noise level of 37dB and a noise emission class of C. This makes it suitable for most kitchens, including open-plan living spaces where lower operating noise is useful.
What energy rating does the Smeg FAB38LBL6 have?
This model has an energy efficiency rating of D under the current UK and European energy-labelling system. Its stated annual energy consumption is 230kWh.
Does the Smeg FAB38LBL6 have door and temperature alarms?
Yes. The appliance includes an acoustic and visual door-open alarm, along with a temperature alarm. These alerts help you respond when a door has been left open or the internal temperature rises unexpectedly.
Is the Smeg FAB38LBL6 suitable for a family kitchen?
With 481 litres of storage, flexible shelving, a dedicated LifePlus drawer and a spacious frost-free freezer, the Smeg FAB38LBL6 is well suited to larger households. It is a good choice for buyers who want generous food storage combined with Smeg’s distinctive gloss-black 50’s Style design.
Are there any suitable alternatives to the Smeg FAB38LBL6 fridge freezer I could consider?
Yes, you could consider the Smeg FAB32LBL5UK 50’s Style 60/40 Freestanding Left Hinge Fridge Freezer in Black as a more compact and lower-priced alternative. It retains the same Smeg 50’s Style gloss-black finish, freestanding installation, fixed left-hand hinge, Total No Frost cooling and LifePlus 0°C drawer, but is narrower at 601mm and offers a smaller 331-litre capacity.
