Additional extras include an egg tray in the fridge door and an LED interior light. The freezer contains three transparent freezer drawers with two ice trays located in the handles and one super-freeze compartment at the top of the freezer that is easily accessible by use of a flap design.
The 1-5 temperature control dial at the top of the fridge freezer makes simple adjustments a breeze. Additionally, the handles are recessed in the unit so you don’t have to worry about handles sticking out. Also, having no handles makes it significantly easier when it comes to reversing the doors if you wish for the fridge freezer to open from right to left.
