CANDY - Fridges & Freezers

Consider the size of your household, the space in your kitchen and any specific wishes such as automatic defrost or an ice maker. Our staff will gladly help you pick the right appliance, and you can also order home delivery and installation with removal of the old appliance.

A good rule of thumb is about 100 litres of capacity for one person and 50 litres more for each additional member of the household. If you shop rarely and in large amounts, choose a slightly bigger model. Remember to check the external dimensions so the appliance fits the space reserved for it.

A chest freezer opens from the top and is usually roomier, and cold air stays inside better when the lid is opened. It is well suited to storing large batches such as berries or game. An upright freezer stands vertically, takes less floor space, and its shelves and drawers make it easier to organise and find what you need.

Choose the best energy class you can. Place the appliance away from heat sources such as an oven or a radiator. Make sure air can circulate behind and beside it. Do not put warm food into the fridge or freezer, and check regularly that the door seals are intact and clean.

No Frost is an automatic defrost function that prevents ice and frost from building up in the freezer by circulating air. You never have to defrost the freezer yourself, which saves effort and energy. It also keeps food in better condition, because a thick layer of ice does not form on it. We recommend it for convenience.

A freezer without automatic defrost should be defrosted at least once a year, or whenever the ice layer is more than half a centimetre thick. A thick layer of ice reduces the freezer's performance and increases its energy consumption significantly.
