American style fridge freezers are often favoured by those who are looking to make a statement in their kitchen. They’re also known as ‘side by side fridge freezers’ and are one large appliance that combines both a fridge and a freezer into one unit. They consist of an upright freezer and an upright refrigerator situated side by side with doors that open outwards from the middle. They can either have two or four doors.
American style fridge freezers are usually taller and wider than standard fridge freezers. They are often packed with the latest technology, and some may feature a built-in water dispenser. American style fridge freezers offer a more spacious, storage solution for your groceries with plenty of shelves, freezer drawers and door storage.
American style fridge freezers are large appliances, so you must make sure that you have enough space. The doors open wider than standard fridge freezers, so you need to consider the space that is available around the appliance. This means that they can’t be placed in a corner. You’ll also need to ensure that there’s 5cm clearance space for ventilation.
Your American style fridge freezer can be placed anywhere in the kitchen where there’s enough space, as long as there is a nearby power supply.
After you receive your brand new American style fridge freezer, you should leave it to settle for at least 4 hours. Once the sufficient time has passed, you can then plug the appliance in. You should then set the temperature using the thermostat and allow both the fridge and freezer sections to cool down to safe temperatures before you place any food inside.
