Why Choose a Frost-Free Model?

A frost-free fridge freezer model is perfect for any family wanting the best convenience for your appliance. If you’re sick of the days of manually removing ice from your fridge freezers, a frost-free appliance uses expert technology to prevent the ice buildup and ensures the better running of your appliance.

Advantages of Frost-Free Technology

Our Beko recommends frost-free fridge freezers use automatic fan technology to remove warm air when the door is open, preventing the buildup of ice over time. Temperature changes can cause ice buildup, and this technology prevents it from happening at the source.

The main advantage of this is that it is low maintenance. You don’t have to spend your weekends chipping away at frost and ice. Instead, your appliance takes care of it for you by preventing the buildup in the first place. This also makes your appliance less labour-intensive and time-consuming and can even make your appliance work better overall—keeping your food cold for longer without worry.

  • Frost Free: In a Frost Free model, the freezer compartment is Automatic Defrost, while the fridge compartment requires occasional manual defrosting, though minimal as it doesn't typically go below 0°C.
  • Total NoFrost (including NeoFrost and AeroFlow): In models with Total NoFrost, both the fridge and freezer compartments are Automatic Defrost, requiring no manual defrosting at all.

Additionally, all of our Beko recommends frost-free fridge freezers come with our innovative HarvestFresh™ technology. By using a three-colour light system, it helps maintain the vitamins in your fruits and vegetables for longer, so you can enjoy healthier, more nutritious meals.

Capacity and Size

When buying a fridge freezer, you must consider its capacity and size. You must also know that the appliance will fit comfortably within your kitchen and that you have enough fridge and freezer space to hold all your groceries. Overpacking your fridge can lead to problems with circulation, so make sure you’re buying a fridge with the right shelving space for all your fruit, vegetables, and dairy products.

For larger families, a bigger fridge freezer might allow more space for groceries, whereas people living in smaller flats might not have the space in their kitchen to place a large fridge. Finding something that balances capacity with size can ensure you’re optimising your food storage space without compromising your space within your home.

Energy Efficiency

Another thing you’ll want to consider is energy efficiency. Whether you’re on a budget when it comes to your utility bills or you’re wanting to find more eco-friendly ways of living, knowing the energy efficiency of your new appliance is important. Fridge freezers run constantly to ensure that your food doesn’t spoil, so knowing how much energy this will take is important for your budgeting.

Our energy ratings are easily accessible on our product pages on our website. It is important to check your model, as each appliance will be different and use a different level of energy.

Regular Cleaning and Care

Regular cleaning is vital for the upkeep of any appliance, including your frost-free fridge freezer. Not only will this keep the technology working effectively, but it can also prevent smells, dirt, and grime from building up within your appliance. Some regular cleaning tips include removing and washing all removable parts with soapy water, as well as wiping down and cleaning the interior surface with vinegar or fridge cleaner on a regular basis. Make sure you dry each part before reassembling; this way, you can keep your fridge clean, fresh, and frost-free.

Optimising Performance

Optimising the performance of your frost-free fridge freezer is important to get the most out of your appliance. This all starts with the installation of your fridge. Make sure you’re using a spirit level so that the appliance is level, and adjust the height on the legs to get it perfectly straight, especially if it is on uneven ground. This way, the frost-free fan can ensure air is circulating correctly throughout your fridge freezer effectively. You’ll also want to make sure you’re leaving enough space around your fridge for the correct ventilation and ensure your door seals are regularly cleaned and in good condition.
