Fridge-freezer Scandomestic HOME 31033610000BIC111WE

A static refrigerator with a separate freezer compartment maintains chilled and frozen storage without forced air circulation. The cooling system removes heat from the interior through metal coils, allowing cold air to settle naturally at the bottom while warmer air rises. This method keeps humidity levels higher, which helps preserve fresh produce and prevents dehydration of stored items. The freezer section operates on the same principle, reaching sub-zero temperatures to freeze or hold small quantities of food without frost build-up or the need for defrosting cycles.

The operator loads the refrigerator by placing items on two safety glass shelves or in two door balconies, one of which is enlarged to accommodate bottles and taller packages. The freezer compartment, located inside the main cabinet, holds frozen goods in a 16-litre space. The door opens from either side, as the hinges are reversible, allowing the unit to fit into various kitchen layouts without obstructing worktops or cupboards.

The interior is illuminated by vertical LED lighting that activates when the door opens, providing clear visibility across all shelves and compartments. The cooling system uses R600a refrigerant, which circulates through the coils to remove heat from the interior and release it at the back of the unit. Temperature settings for the refrigerator range from 0 to 8 °C, while the freezer maintains temperatures between -8 and -24 °C, allowing for safe storage of both chilled and frozen items.

The cabinet is constructed with a white exterior and an interior lined with durable plastic. Two safety glass shelves support heavier items and are easy to clean, while the door balconies provide additional storage for bottles, jars and smaller packages. The reversible door is fitted with a magnetic seal to maintain a consistent internal temperature.

Controls are limited to a single thermostat that adjusts the cooling intensity for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The unit operates on a 220-240 V, 50 Hz electrical supply, drawing 0.363 kWh over a 24-hour period. The total volume of 111 litres is divided into 95 litres for refrigeration and 16 litres for freezing, providing sufficient capacity for small households or as a secondary unit in professional kitchens.

The 27.5 kg weight allows the unit to be moved by one person, though care is needed when positioning it on uneven floors. The 596 mm width, 550 mm depth and 820 mm height fit into standard under-counter spaces or can stand alone in a utility area. The static cooling method requires no fan, reducing noise and maintenance, though periodic cleaning of the interior and door seals is recommended to maintain efficiency and hygiene.

The BIC111WE model is available in white and is classified as Energy Class E, indicating its power consumption relative to similar appliances. The reversible door and compact dimensions make it adaptable to various kitchen configurations, while the LED lighting and glass shelves ensure practical use and easy upkeep.
