Refrigeration Buying Guide
Whether you need a lot of storage space for all of your grocery favourites or are after the latest fridge and freezer technologies, our refrigeration buying guide will help lead you to the best appliance in our range to match your everyday needs.
Type & Size
Fridge freezers come in many shapes and sizes, so it’s important to understand the space you have available. Make sure you’ve carefully measured the space you have and remember to account for air ventilation room – at least 5 cm above, behind and on either side of the appliance. Here’s our guide to the different types of refrigeration appliances and their sizes.
Fridge Freezers
Fridge freezers are the most common type of refrigeration appliance and are great for new families or for those who live on their own. The freezer compartment is commonly found in the bottom half of the fridge freezer, however, our range offers models where the freezer can be found at the top too.
Our range of fridge freezers comes in two types: two-door, and three-door models. The two-door models come in split types of 70:30 – the fridge holds 70% of the capacity and the freezer holds 30% of it, of 50:50 – both the fridge and the freezer hold 50% of the total capacity, of 60:40 and 40:60 where the fridge holds 60% or 40% and the freezer holds 40% or 60%, respectively, of the capacity. The three-door models offer an extra compartment featuring our MultiZone® technology.
Wine Coolers
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Colour Options
Our refrigeration range is available in different colours and finishes to match the style of your kitchen. So if you’re looking for a particular coloured fridge freezer, here’s a quick guide to your options.
White
Refrigerators with a classic white finish have a timeless appeal. Many of our combi fridge freezers are available in white.
Black
Black appliances can really give your kitchen that wow-factor. Many of our American style fridge freezers are available in black.
Silver
Silver refrigerators look sleek and fit easily into most kitchen styles. Take a look at our silver fridge freezers.
Food Freshness
When buying a refrigeration appliance, be sure to make yourself aware of the ways your fridge or freezer can keep your food fresher for longer. The Beko refrigeration range offers technologies and features which maintain the freshness of all the food you love.
HarvestFresh™ Technology
HarvestFresh™ uses innovative three colour light technology in the crisper drawer to mimic the 24 hour sun cycle, preserving the vitamins in fresh fruit and vegetables for an additional five days.
EverFresh+® Technology
Air and humidity in the crisper drawer are managed via special air channels to keep your fruit and vegetables fresh for up to 30 days, helping you to reduce the amount of food you throw away.
Chiller Compartment
A dedicated drawer which keeps the temperature around 0°C, offering a perfectly suited environment for you to store your meat, fish and dairy foods in so that they can maintain their freshness.
Fast Freeze Setting
Ideal for locking in your food’s vitamins and nutrients, the top compartments in some of our freezers can freeze your food 10% faster than the other shelves can – perfect for when you want to freeze fresh food straight after you buy it.
Cooling System
Before committing to buying a new refrigeration appliance, it’s important to familiarise yourself with the three different cooling systems our range uses to function on.
Manual Defrost
If you’re buying on a budget, go for a manual defrost freezer or fridge freezer. We recommend you keep your freezer clear of ice build-up while saving valuable storage space by manually defrosting it twice a year.
Frost Free
Our freezers with Frost Free technology automatically defrost themselves so you don’t have to. No chance is left for ice to build up thanks to an automatic fan which removes warm air that enters your freezer when the door opens.
NeoFrost™
Fridge freezers with this technology come with two separate cooling systems, powered by automatic fans, allowing for 2x faster cooling, fresher food and a freezer you won’t need to manually defrost.
Water & Ice Dispensers
Purchasing a refrigeration appliance with an integrated water & ice dispenser offers convenience and helps you benefit from cool and refreshing ice and water on tap. The Beko refrigeration range offers plumbed and non-plumbed options including water-only dispensers as well as water and ice dispensers.
Non-Plumbed Dispenser
For non-plumbed options, Beko fridges and fridge freezers come with a cleverly designed slim, easy-to-fill water tank which fits neatly on the fridge door without taking away from the space you need to store your groceries.
Plumbed Dispenser
When opting for a plumbed dispenser, you need to first make sure that you’re able to place your new refrigeration appliance as close to a water supply as possible. We recommend within 1.5m of a water supply, so that you can fully benefit from the convenience of the water and ice dispenser.
Extra Features
It’s always a great idea to consider the extra features your new refrigeration appliance will come with. Here are a couple of the extra features in the Beko range.
Freezer Guard Technology
Whether you need to place your new freezer or fridge freezer in your garage or outbuilding, Freezer Guard works to ensure the freezer compartment will always function properly, even if the surrounding temperature drops to as low as -15°C.
We recommend you only use the freezer compartment in low ambient temperatures and not the fridge compartment.
MultiZone® Technology
Offering flexible cooling or freezing, the MultiZone® compartment in our fridge freezers and American style fridge freezers can become either at the touch of a button, perfect for when you need more fridge space in the summer or more freezer space in the winter.
Flame Retardant Back
Since 2007, all Beko refrigeration products have been manufactured using a flame retardant back. All our current refrigeration products are manufactured with either a metal flame retardant back or an aluminium foil covered flame retardant back, providing increased protection. All our refrigeration products exceed UK and European safety standards.
