Per month: $5.12
Per year: $61
5 years: $307
10 years: $614

192 kWh × 32c/kWh. No inflation or tariff change assumed. Fridges run continuously, so the label figure is a whole-year estimate under standard test conditions.

Capacity and compartments

Total gross volume: 254 L
Fresh food (fridge) volume: –
Frozen storage volume: 254 L
GEMS adjusted volume: 454 L
freezer compartment: 254 L gross, 166 L net

Gross volumes exclude shelving. Fresh food = fresh food, chill and cellar compartments; frozen = freezer, two-star and ice-making (zero-star) compartments. Adjusted volume weights frozen space more heavily and is what the government uses to set the star rating for the size.
