Scandomestic HOME 290 L Static Refrigerator in White

A static refrigerator keeps food chilled by circulating cool air naturally from a fixed evaporator at the back. Without a fan, the air moves gently, preventing dehydration of uncovered items and maintaining steady humidity for vegetables and dairy. The evaporator cools the air, which sinks and spreads across each shelf, while warmer air rises to be cooled again. This method uses less energy than fan-assisted models and operates more quietly, making it suitable for open-plan kitchens and utility rooms.

The operator loads the refrigerator by placing items on the five adjustable safety-glass shelves and in the two transparent vegetable drawers. Door shelves hold bottles, jars and cartons, with one enlarged shelf designed for two-litre containers. The door is reversible, so it can open left or right to suit the kitchen layout. Once loaded, the refrigerator maintains an internal temperature between 2 °C and 8 °C, preserving freshness without freezing.

The cabinet is finished in white with a steel handle. Inside, horizontal LED lighting illuminates every shelf and drawer without adding heat, so the temperature remains stable. The shelves are made of safety glass, which is easy to wipe clean and resists staining from spills.

Controls are minimal: a single thermostat dial inside sets the desired temperature within the 2 °C to 8 °C range. The refrigerator runs on a standard 220-240 V, 50 Hz domestic circuit, drawing 0.296 kW over 24 hours. At 59 kg, the unit is light enough to be moved by two people but stable once positioned. Its footprint of 545 mm width and 580 mm depth fits under most worktops, while the 1780 mm height allows tall items to stand upright.

Cleaning involves removing the shelves and drawers, washing them in warm soapy water, and wiping the interior with a damp cloth. The static evaporator requires occasional defrosting when ice builds up, which is done by switching off the refrigerator and leaving the door open until the ice melts.

The refrigerator is supplied in a single white finish. The door opening direction is reversible at installation.
