Fridge-freezer Scandomestic HOME 01030307W10000

A refrigerator-freezer that keeps fresh food at 0 to 8 °C and frozen items between -8 and -24 °C in a single upright cabinet. The upper section cools by circulating air over an evaporator coil, removing heat from the interior and expelling it at the rear. The lower freezer compartment uses the same principle but maintains a colder temperature, slowing bacterial growth and preserving food for months.

Smart Frost technology reduces ice build-up on the freezer walls by controlling humidity and temperature cycles. Instead of a thick layer of frost that must be scraped away, only a thin film forms, cutting the need for manual defrosting to about once a year.

The operator loads fresh food onto three adjustable safety-glass shelves and into a clear-fronted vegetable drawer. Door shelves hold bottles and jars, with one enlarged Maxi shelf for taller containers. The freezer section has three transparent drawers that slide out for quick access without letting cold air escape. LED lighting inside the fridge turns on when the door opens, illuminating every shelf and drawer without adding heat.

The cabinet is finished in white, with an exterior of coated steel and an interior of food-safe plastic. The evaporator coil and compressor are mounted at the back, while the refrigerant circuit uses 48 g of R600a, a hydrocarbon that cools efficiently with a low environmental impact.

Controls are minimal: a single thermostat dial inside the fridge sets the cooling level for both compartments. The appliance runs on a 220-240 V, 50 Hz supply, drawing 0.58 kWh over 24 hours. Its footprint of 540 mm wide by 550 mm deep fits against a wall or between kitchen units, and the 1760 mm height allows it to stand beneath most worktops. The 52 kg weight means two people can move it without a trolley.

Cleaning involves wiping the glass shelves and plastic drawers with warm soapy water, removing them first if necessary. The door seals should be checked periodically for debris and cleaned with a damp cloth to maintain an airtight closure. The rear condenser coils benefit from occasional vacuuming to remove dust that would otherwise reduce cooling efficiency.

The SKF 307 W is supplied in white only, with no alternative colours or finishes.
