AEG cooling compared
| Type | Suits | Worth checking |
|---|
| Integrated fridge freezer | Most fitted kitchens: fridge and freezer behind tall doors that match your units. | The housing height, and how the space divides between fridge and freezer. |
| Tall larder fridge or freezer | A pair in two housings for plenty of fresh or frozen space. | That both suit your housings, and which way each door opens. |
| Under-counter fridge or freezer | Utility rooms, compact kitchens or a spare fridge. | Larder fridge, or one with a small freezer compartment. |
| Built-in wine cooler | Wine at serving temperature near where you eat. | The gap width, bottle capacity and number of zones. |
| Freestanding French door fridge freezer | Large households wanting ice and chilled water on tap. | A mains water connection and clearance for both doors. |
What to compare
TwinTech
Many AEG fridge freezers cool each section with its own system. That keeps ice from building up in the freezer and stops the fridge drying out, so fruit and vegetables keep longer. Higher series add more adaptable storage and fresh-food drawers.
The split
Integrated fridge freezers don't all share their space the same way. Some favour the fridge; others give the freezer more room for batch cooking. Compare the separate fridge and freezer capacities on the product page rather than the total.
Larder or freezer compartment
A larder fridge has no freezer, so every shelf is for fresh food. A few under-counter AEG fridges swap that for a little four-star ice box, handy when there's no separate freezer.
Wine zones
AEG wine coolers range from a narrow model for under the worktop up to an 8000 series cabinet with two zones, so reds and whites can each be kept at their own temperature.
Fitting an integrated model
Integrated refrigeration sits behind a furniture door from your kitchen supplier. A sliding hinge links that door to the appliance door with runners; a fixed hinge attaches it directly, so the two move together. Leave the ventilation gaps shown in the fitting instructions.
Before you order
- Measure inside the tall unit. AEG makes its integrated models in several heights; the product name tells you which.
- Match the hinge. Replacing an integrated fridge with the same hinge type usually lets you reuse the existing door.
- Plan for water if you choose a model with an ice and water dispenser.
- Give it time. The manual says how long to leave it standing before you switch on and fill it.

AEG Cooling: your questions answered
What is TwinTech?
AEG's system for cooling the fridge and freezer separately. The result is a freezer that doesn't frost up and a fridge with more humidity, so fresh food lasts longer.
Sliding hinge or fixed hinge: what's the difference?
A sliding hinge connects the furniture door to the appliance door with runners. A fixed hinge fastens the furniture door directly to the appliance door, so they open as one.
Does an integrated AEG fridge come with a door?
No. The door comes from your kitchen supplier and attaches with the appliance's hinge kit.
What's a larder fridge?
A fridge without any freezer, giving all its room to fresh food. AEG offers tall and under-counter versions.
Can reds and whites share one AEG wine cooler?
Yes, in the dual-zone 8000 series model, which has two compartments set to different temperatures.
Which height of integrated fridge freezer do I need?
Take the internal height of your tall housing. The product name gives the height of each AEG model, and the product page has the precise niche size.
