Scandomestic HOME SKF 297 W Refrigerator-Freezer 153 + 74 L

A single compressor cools both the refrigerator and freezer compartments, circulating refrigerant through separate evaporators to hold the fridge at 0 to 8 °C and the freezer at -8 to -24 °C. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air inside each compartment, then releases it at the rear condenser coil, maintaining steady temperatures with minimal energy.

The refrigerator section is loaded from the front with three adjustable safety-glass shelves and one full-width vegetable drawer. Two door shelves—one enlarged for tall bottles—hold smaller items. The freezer is organised in three transparent-front drawers that slide out for quick access. LED lighting inside the fridge illuminates every shelf without adding heat.

Smart Frost technology slows ice build-up by controlling humidity and air flow, so the freezer needs defrosting only once a year instead of every few months. The operator sets the desired temperatures with a single rotary control, then leaves the appliance to run continuously on a standard 220-240 V, 50 Hz circuit.

The cabinet is finished in white and measures 540 mm wide, 550 mm deep and 1593 mm high, fitting under most worktops. Three safety-glass shelves and one glass-bottomed drawer in the fridge, plus three plastic freezer drawers, support food without sagging. The refrigerant charge is 46 g of R600a, a hydrocarbon with low global-warming potential.

A daily energy consumption of 0.575 kWh keeps running costs low while the appliance holds 153 L in the fridge and 74 L in the freezer. The LED lighting switches on automatically when the door opens, showing contents clearly without shadows.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the glass shelves and plastic drawers with a damp cloth, and occasionally defrosting the freezer when ice reaches 3 mm. The vegetable drawer and door shelves lift out for separate washing.

The SKF 297 W is listed in the Scandomestic HOME catalogue under compact refrigerator-freezers for professional and domestic kitchens.
