Food centre fridge freezer - side by side European Style

The AEG-Electrolux S75678SK1 is new European Style food centre fridge freezer that combines, performance, sophistication and 'A+' energy efficiency. Exceptional attention to detail and precision engineering make this a model that truly stands out from the crowd. This side by side fridge freezer is also the perfect choice for those who want an American style food centre that fits perfectly into a standard European kitchen, due to its slim 60cm depth. Because this appliance is built in-situ, this is also a great choice for homes which can’t accommodate a traditional sized American Style fridge freezer, often because of the difficulty of fitting a pre-built large model through doors, along awkward shaped hallways or upstairs.

In a fingerprint-proof stainless steel finish, the food centre fridge freezer will fit beautifully beside kitchen cabinets and other appliances giving a built-in look. The smooth streamline design is stylish and complements any contemporary kitchen design. Perfect for those who want an American style look without the bulk, it has large capacity, frost free chilling and freezing, humidity control, holiday function and electronic controls for precise temperature control. The interior of this side by side European Style food centre is packed full of thoughtfully designed features such as wine rack, extra-large salad drawer, covered dairy compartment, egg tray and butter dish plus a quick chill bottle shelf.

The AEG-Electrolux S75678SK1 also comes with Shopping Mode. Once activated it lowers the temperature of the fridge and freezer simultaneously, compensating for the rise in temperature which occurs when you load up with newly bought food. And the Coolmatic/Frostmatic feature will quickly chill or freeze freshly added food to the pre-set temperature, preserving the flavour, nutritional value and appearance of food.

Twin Compressor technology means the fridge and freezer have their own compressors which operate independently. This ensures precise control of internal temperature, regardless of external temperature, and you can switch the fridge off when you go on holiday, leaving the freezer on - thus saving energy.

Additional benefits of this food centre fridge freezer include,
- No Frost feature
- Dynamic Air Cooling
- 370 litre net fridge capacity
- 267 litre net freezer capacity
- LED temperature control
- 5 safety glass shelves in fridge
- 5 transparent freezer drawers
- 2 fold out compartments
- air purifier
Measuring H180 x W119 x D60 cm, the side by side European Style AEG-Electrolux S75678SK1 is expected to sell at around £2,000 starting April 2010.
