Capacity and compartments

Total gross volume: 472 L
Fresh food (fridge) volume: –
Frozen storage volume: 472 L
GEMS adjusted volume: 843 L
freezer compartment: 472 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.
