Why choose the Smeg FAB38RBL6 fridge freezer?
Choose the Smeg FAB38RBL6 if you want a statement 50’s Style fridge freezer with serious family storage. Its 481-litre capacity gives you the look of a retro Smeg with far more everyday space than the smaller FAB models, while Total No Frost, Multiflow cooling and a LifePlus 0°C drawer help keep fresh and frozen food well organised. The gloss black finish, chrome handle and right-hand hinge suit kitchens where design is as important as capacity.
Generous Fridge and Freezer Capacity
At 706 mm wide, the Smeg FAB38RBL6 provides ample space for larger households. The refrigerator offers 344 litres of fresh food storage across its shelves and compartments, while the 137-litre freezer is divided across multiple drawers for organised frozen food storage.
Even Cooling with Multiflow Technology
Smeg’s Multiflow system distributes cold air evenly throughout the refrigerator compartment. A built-in fan supports consistent air circulation, helping to maintain stable cooling conditions across the interior.
Interior lighting provides clear visibility throughout the refrigerator compartment, making it easier to find ingredients and organise shelves.
No Frost Freezer
The No Frost system prevents ice from forming inside the freezer, removing the need for manual defrosting. It also supports effective food preservation while helping to keep the compartment easy to maintain.
LifePlus 0°C Drawer
The LifePlus drawer provides a controlled temperature zone between -2°C and +3°C. It is designed to support the longer preservation of perishable foods such as fish, cheese and meat.
Independent Digital Temperature Control
An internal LED digital display provides independent temperature control for the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Its internal position maintains the appliance’s clean, minimalist exterior.
Manual Ice Maker
The freezer compartment includes a manual ice maker, allowing you to adjust the amount of ice produced according to your requirements. It is a convenient feature for drinks, gatherings and entertaining at home.
Iconic 50’s Style Design
Smeg FAB refrigerators are known for their rounded shapes, chrome detailing and distinctive colours. The 70cm-wide FAB38 offers the same recognisable retro styling with a larger capacity to accommodate everyday household storage needs.
