Ilve refrigeration here is built around one format: a 90 cm freestanding four-door fridge freezer, offered in two of the brand's design collections, Milano and Roma. It suits a larger household that wants plenty of storage and a fridge that matches the look of an Ilve kitchen instead of hiding behind cabinet doors. Ilve describes Milano as its ornate, traditional style, which is unusual on a fridge freezer, so the trim does a lot of the work.
Where full specifications are listed, the figures are the same: 322 litres of fridge space and 217 litres of freezer space. No Frost cooling defrosts automatically, so ice doesn't build up and you never have to empty the freezer to clear it. There are electronic touch controls with an LED display, and the quoted noise level is 37 dB. The energy rating is E, which is worth weighing if running costs matter to you. Measure carefully before you buy. At around 90 cm wide, these need a generous space plus room for the doors to swing open.
Because the cabinet is largely the same throughout, choosing comes down to style and trim. Milano models come with brass, chrome, copper or antique brass trim, while Roma comes in matt black or satin. Match the trim to the handles and knobs of your cooker. The same models also appear under Ilve American fridge freezers and Ilve freestanding refrigeration, and you can browse Ilve ovens to plan the rest of the kitchen.
