Freezer Buying Guides
Torn between different types of freezer? Our buying guide will help you spot the difference.
- What is the ideal temperature for a freezer?
The best temperature to keep food fresh and safe, as well as optimising the energy it uses, is -18°C.
- What is frost free technology?
A frost-free freezer circulates cool air around the cabinet, which stops ice building up. That means you won’t need to manually defrost it. That’s a win for your weekends.
- How much ventilation space does a freezer need?
If you’ve got a freestanding model, it’s always worth leaving a few centimetres around the freezer for airflow – with a little bit extra around the back for pipes and sockets. We usually recommend 4-5cm. Integrated models have vents in all the right places, so they can be safely built into your cupboards without losing that necessary airflow.
- What is Fast Freeze?
Fast Freeze settings are designed for when you're unloading the shopping. Because food has often travelled from a shop back to your home, the thawing process may have already started. So, it rapidly lowers the temperature, locking in nutrients and the original texture of food quicker so it tastes better. Plus, if you're unloading lots of shopping in one go, the door being open can lower the temperature inside.
- Can I put a freezer in a garage?
Normal freezers need the room temperature to be above 10°C to keep running properly, so look out for models that are suitable for outbuildings or have a feature that means it’ll run at low temperatures.
- Will AO install my freezer for me?
Yes, we’ll happily install your freestanding or integrated freezer. Just add it onto your order when you check out. Make sure to check what this service covers, as we don’t hardwire or reverse doors.
- How do I dispose of my old freezer?
We can do it for you when we deliver your new one, just add Remove & Recycle to your basket when you place your order. If you’ve already placed your order or want to dispose of it yourself, you can take it to a local authority recycling centre instead.
