Fridges
Our fridges are available with and without freezer units. Both options are built into the line of kitchen units, i.e. in the lower units or special high-level cupboards.

Built-under fridges
This option is available in a height of 82 cm and is built in under a continuous worktop. The air intake and outlet is via the plinth area.

To avoid unnecessary power consumption, there should be a gap of at least 200 cm² at the back and at the bottom of the fridge for ventilation.

Your fridge should be installed straight and the door must close properly. So make sure that the floor or cupboard is level.

If your recess is too small to meet your needs, replace your old built-in appliance with a free-standing one. You can use the cleared recess for additional storage or, for example, for a steam oven and warming drawer.

Integrated appliances are matched visually with the standard unit front made by your kitchen manufacturer. With appliances with a decor panel, a decor panel matching the unit fronts can be slipped into a panel frame or you can buy a stainless steel panel as an accessory.
