Description

The Electrolux ESE6977SF Ice & Water Side-by-Side is a premium level refrigerator, offering exceptional style and environmentally friendly credentials.

It is Australia's best in class, energy efficient, side-by-side, with an innovative, streamlined dispenser that has Cubed and Crushed Ice and Water available through a unique dual-dispensing lever. It also features a direct bottle filler for individual bottles.

The minimalist Hidden-Touch interface gives a pure aesthetic with advanced functionality; while the compact icemaker and door mounted ice storage creates more usable freezer space.

A member of the professionally inspired E:Line kitchen collection, it is packed with thoughtful features for more flexible and efficient food storage.

Key Features
and/or Benefits

Frameless Ice and Water Dispenser with Direct Bottle-Filling

The minimalist, frameless design of the Ice & Water dispenser, with real glass and stainless steel as its main materials, creates an enduring sense of quality.

The innovative 2-part dispensing lever allows for effortless, one-handed ice & water dispensing without needing to adjust the user interface.

The patent-pending Direct Bottle-Filler at the top of the dispenser allows bottles of all shapes and sizes, including narrow-necks, to be filled with ease. This feature was inspired by Consumer Insight home visits, when parents who were encouraging their children to drink more water struggled to fill water bottles using existing systems.

Multi-functional Hidden-Touch Controls

The glass, multi-functional hidden-touch control panel keeps the features you don't use everyday hidden, giving a pure, streamlined aesthetic. By simply touching the glass panel, the display wakes up, with ramp-up LEDs, displaying all the available features, including:

- Eco and Vacation modes for improved energy efficiency
- Fast-Ice for increased ice production
- Drinks Chill Alarm helps you to quick chill bottles in the freezer by setting a reminder alarm to ensure you don't freeze them
- Water Filter status and replacement alert
- Display Lock and Door Open Alarm.

After use, the display gently fades back to black, restoring the unobtrusive appearance.

Compact In-Freezer Icemaker and Ice Bin

By shrinking the icemaker into the top of the cabinet, and locating the Ice Storage Bin on the inside of the door, this allows for two additional eye-level shelves compared with superseded models, and creates more usable freezer space.

Running out of ice will never be an issue with the detachable ice storage bin, convenient for holding large quantities of ice for entertaining friends or family.

Thoughtful features for simpler and more efficient food storage

Outstanding features include sealed, humidity adjustable crispers and freezer drawers on easy-glide slides, ensuring effortless access to food, no matter how full the drawers. Spill-safe glass shelves contain spills and minimise cleaning, and the separate slide-away split shelf allows you to modify the interior to suit your needs. Bright, low energy LED lighting for both the fridge and freezer bathe the interior with illumination.

Designed with the planet in mind, the new Electrolux Ice & Water fridge uses an environmentally-friendly R600a refrigerant, creating less impact on the environment and more impact in the kitchen.

Part of the professionally inspired Electrolux E:Line kitchen collection

The professionally inspired square-lined flat door is intended to harmonize with modern kitchen designs. The invisible fingerprint-resistant coating on the stainless steel helps protect the exterior of the fridge from everyday grime and fingerprints.

The sleek E:Line bar handles look exceptional in any living space, and match the full range of Electrolux E:Line appliances, giving the opportunity for complete visual harmony between the different appliances in your kitchen.
