  • One of the challenges with freestanding fridges are the gaps required around and above to allow for door clearances and ventilation. The Slide-in series minimises gaps through heavy-duty inline hinges and adjustable doors enabling minimal 4mm gaps to create consistent lines throughout your kitchen. The series fits flush with cabinetry to minimise disruption and deliver design freedom through stainless or custom panel options.

  • These spacious 900mm French Door refrigerators are designed for family life, with double doors for easy access to uninterrupted refrigerator space. Removable, spill-safe cantilevered glass shelves are designed to contain drips and spills that can be simply wiped away, while leaving the interior walls completely smooth and easy to clean. The storage bins just need a wipe to keep spotless. Streamlined food preparation and organization is easy with SmartTouch controls, flexible shelving and storage options, along with slide out bins and trays. There is bright LED lighting in all compartments. In Ice and Water models the water filter is easily accessible for quick cleaning or replacement.

  • Whether it's an update to an existing kitchen or starting from scratch on a new design, product installation is key to a high quality look and feel. Slide-in fridges are designed to do exactly that. There are multiple angles of adjustment for the door panels. The four feet can be adjusted from the front to allow for uneven floors. Adjustable door skins allow the fine-tuning of minimal gaps as kitchen cabinets settle after initial installation. Common sizing, clear installation guidelines and universal panel systems are tailored to provide the best possible fit and finish.

  • We have worked with designers and architects around the world to understand the challenges of kitchen design. One of the biggest insights was developing a platform that makes design specification easier - from flush fit to uninterrupted cabinetry lines to easy optioning on paneling and handle choices. The Slide-in series is accompanied by a digital toolbox on the Kitchen Tools website to make the process easier (thekitchentools.fisherpaykel.com).

    ActiveSmart™ technology helps keep your food fresher for longer by constantly monitoring how you use your fridge and adapting to maintain a controlled environment and optimum temperature. These ActiveSmart™ fridges intelligently adapt to daily use to help save energy, cooling and defrosting only when they need to without compromising on food care.

    The Slide-in model comes in high quality stainless steel, with black finish and chrome strip detail on the slimline water dispenser, matching the styling of our family of kitchen appliances including built-in ovens, companion products, CoolDrawer™ multi-temperature fridges and DishDrawer™ dishwashers.

    We believe in designing quality products that deliver new levels of performance at the same time as providing great value. Up until now integrated refrigeration has been unattainable for many customers. The new Slide-in fridge series has been developed to set new benchmarks in design refinement, quality and value.
