The AEG OSC5S185ES 5000 Series Integrated Low Frost Fridge Freezer is a cutting-edge appliance designed to bring efficiency and convenience to any modern kitchen. With a net fridge volume of 161 litres and a net freezer volume of 106 litres, it offers ample storage space for all your fresh and frozen food needs. The fridge is equipped with auto defrost technology, which eliminates the need for manual defrosting and ensures the interior remains ice-free, making maintenance a breeze. However, the freezer does not have an auto-defrost feature, which aligns with its low frost design, significantly reducing the build-up of ice compared to traditional freezers and requiring less frequent defrosting.
This fridge freezer boasts an energy efficiency rating of E, making it a relatively energy-conscious choice, consuming 231 kWh annually. Its design arrangement places the fridge over the freezer, a common and practical layout that makes accessing fresh food easier. The appliance is built-in with a sliding hinged door, offering a seamless integration into your kitchen cabinetry. It is also right-hand hinged, though the door is reversible, allowing for versatile installation options to suit your kitchen layout.
The AEG OSC5S185ES features adjustable feet and electronic controls, with an LED display for easy temperature management. Inside the fridge, you'll find four glass shelves, two drawers, and four door bins, providing plenty of organised storage space. The freezer compartment includes four drawers, which helps in categorising and storing your frozen goods efficiently. Despite lacking shelves, the drawers compensate by offering spacious and organised storage.
Key features of this appliance include a 4-star freezer rating, ensuring it maintains a consistently low temperature, crucial for preserving the quality of your frozen foods. The fridge door features bottle storage, an egg tray, and height-adjustable shelves, enhancing its usability. Interior lighting illuminates the fridge's contents, while a visual and audible open door alert prevents accidental energy wastage and food spoilage.
The AEG OSC5S185ES is equipped with advanced technologies like ColdSense, which quickly restores the internal temperature after door openings to keep food fresher for longer. The Fast Freeze facility allows for rapid freezing of new items, while the Frostmatic function ensures newly added groceries reach optimal freezing temperature quickly. High temperature alarms, both visual and audible, provide an added layer of security by alerting you if the internal temperature rises unexpectedly.
LowFrost technology minimizes ice formation, ensuring that defrosting is required less frequently, while rapid temperature recovery ensures the appliance returns to its set temperature promptly after any changes. The appliance includes a temperature regulator for precise control, maintaining the fridge temperature between 2°C and 8°C, and the freezer between -18°C and -24°C.
In terms of technical specifications, the fridge freezer operates within a climate class of SN, N, ST, T, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. It has a freezing capacity of 5.5 kg over 24 hours and can safely store food for up to 15 hours in the event of a power failure. Measuring 1772 x 548 x 549 mm, the OSC5S185ES requires no plumbing and has a cord length of 2.4 metres.
Included accessories are practical, such as an egg tray, but the fridge does not come with an ice cube tray or a water dispenser. It is also not suitable for use in a garage or outbuilding, given its design and operational requirements.
Overall, the AEG OSC5S185ES 5000 Series Integrated Low Frost Fridge Freezer is a well-rounded appliance, combining generous storage, energy efficiency, and advanced technology to meet the demands of a contemporary household. Its thoughtful design and reliable performance make it a worthy addition to any kitchen.
