Refrigeration Capacity

27 Mar.,2024

 

Choosing a fridge and/or freezer can be overwhelming, with so much choice available for size and capacity.

The perfect model for you depends on what you use it for. We would recommend that before choosing your new model, you make a note of how many times a week you fill the fridge, what you are using it for and how often you dive into the freezer for the ingredients to a meal.

What does ‘gross’ and ‘net’ mean when it comes to storage?

The storage capacity on CDA refrigeration models is measured in litres. You will see two measurements in the model specification; ‘gross’ and ‘net’. The gross capacity is the total volume of the refrigerated space. The net capacity is the total volume of refrigerated space available to store food & drink, once the structural features of your appliance have been taken into account. These include things like shelves, bottle racks, dairy compartments and humidity doors.
