Product Overview
Smeg FAB38RCR5AU | 481L FAB38 50's Style Retro Fridge Cream Right Hinge

The iconic Smeg FAB range combines devilishly good looks with high-performance technology. Smeg's FAB fridge is often a distinctive element in the kitchen. Its rounded shapes, chromed details and bright colours are key expressions of style and personality. The profiles of the balconies and glass shelves feature bright chrome finishes with a retro design. Now available in a 70cm width, the new FAB38 offers a unique, sizable capacity to suit your storage needs.
PERFECT BLEND OF ARTISTRY & FUNCTIONALITY
Like other timeless designs, the original Smeg FAB refrigerator is more than just a mere fridge. It’s the focal point of the kitchen, bringing together unquestionable style and premium performance. Always evocative and eclectic, FAB fridges have become standard bearers for “Made in Italy” design all over the world with their inimitable blend of artistry and functionality.
DOUBLE ZONE ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The digital electronic control panel at the top of the fridge provides accurate temperature monitoring in both the fridge and freezer compartments to ensure the long life of perishable food. With three functions: ECO, fast freezing and temperature alarm, the FAB38 optimises freshness and reduces food waste. FUNCTIONS: ECO, Fast freezing, & Temperature alarm.
MULTI-COOLING NO FROST TECHNOLOGY
Thanks to the no frost system you won’t have to manually defrost the freezer as cool air is circulated inside to prevent any icy build ups and maximise storage capacity.
LIFE PLUS 0°C DRAWER
This chilling drawer provides a controlled temperature zone for better and longer preservation of perishable food such as meat, fish, fruit and vegetables and dairy products. This drawer features a perforated panel which can be adjusted to customise the compartment’s level of ventilation and humidity.
NEW ENERGY LABELS
The new energy rating label will provide the industry with more space development and allow customers to compare products much more easily. The main change is that the current efficiency bands have been scaled back to a simple A-G classification, with no further differentiation.

Why Buy?
Italian-crafted refrigeration for design-conscious homes
The FAB38's no-frost circulation system eliminates manual defrosting while maintaining consistent temperatures across both compartments. This bottom mount fridge positions everyday items at eye level, reducing the need to bend for frequently accessed foods and beverages.
Multi-zone electronic temperature control monitors fridge and freezer sections independently, while the Life Plus 0°C drawer creates optimal conditions for meat, fish and dairy through adjustable ventilation panels. Chrome-finished glass shelves and door balconies complement the rounded silhouette and cream powder-coated steel exterior that resists fingerprints and scratches.
The 70cm width fits standard kitchen layouts while the right-hand door swing accommodates most floor plans. ECO mode and fast-freeze functions adapt to daily routines, while the temperature alarm protects against power fluctuations. The distinctive curved form and chrome details create a focal point that anchors kitchen design rather than hiding behind cabinetry.

- You prefer bottom mount fridges that keep fresh food at comfortable heights
- You value no-frost technology that eliminates maintenance while maximising storage
