This is great news! Smeg’s 50s-style refrigerator, which I have long coveted, and is rightly loved for its style as much asย its colour, now has a big brother! Despite its good looks, the FAB28 was never the biggest or most practical fridge, especially for families. But the new FAB50 has about 75 percent moreย capacity.
Available in 3 colours โ panna,ย silver and white โ the beautifulย vintage styling houses the very latestย in refrigeration technology and has aย generous capacity of 473 litresย gross. Frost-free operation, multiflowย ventilation, fast-freezeย compartment, quick-chill crystalย glass shelves and convenient 0ยฐCย chiller compartment are just some ofย the family-friendly features.
Optimum storage conditions are a given due to a sophisticated airflowย system that ensures cool, clean air is constantly moved around the cabinetย at an even temperature. The chiller compartment provides the perfectย temperature for cold meats, fish and some cheeses while door cabinetryย provides orderly storage for bottles, jars, cartons, eggs and dairy products.
In all there are 2 chiller compartments, 3 adjustable crystal glassย shelves, one fixed glass shelf and 2 large capacity fruit and vegetableย compartments. In the frost-free freezer there is a fast-freeze compartment,ย manual icemaker and internal light.
The Smeg FAB50 is available with either a left or right hand opening doorย and measures 1875mm(H) x 615mm(W) x 810mm (D). With a 2.5 starย energy rating it retails for $5,990 and is available nationally from electricalย retailers, appliance specialists and some department stores.
