Cohort: every currently registered 200–299 L fridge freezer (manual-defrost freezer) sold in Australia, counted once per registration. Star ratings already account for size through the GEMS adjusted-volume formula; this comparison is in raw kWh against models a buyer would actually consider instead.

299 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: 242 L
Fresh food (fridge) volume: 175 L
Frozen storage volume: 67 L
GEMS adjusted volume: 295 L
freezer compartment: 67 L gross
fresh food compartment: 175 L gross

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.
