Gray/Silver Refrigerators

Silver refrigerators or stainless steel appliances deliver a modern appearance to kitchens and bar areas. The durable construction makes them impervious to daily abuse, including scratches and dings, and they are resistant to rust when exposed to moisture. This color tends to mesh well with most decors and is easy to maintain. Staples® carries a wide selection of refrigerators and other housewares to suit almost any need.

Keeping Perishables Fresh With a Silver Refrigerator
Refrigeration slows or halts the process of deterioration or decay of perishable food items. They also make drinks and other items more enjoyable. Install a compact fridge underneath a desk to reduce time spent walking back and forth to the kitchen or breakroom for cold drinks and snacks. A small fridge also works well in an office bar area to keep beverages and mixed drink ingredients ice cold and ready-to-serve.

Use a small fridge in a dorm room or bedroom and other limited spaces, or opt for a tall beverage fridge in places where food storage is not an issue. Use a beverage refrigerator in addition to a standard-size appliance to create more storage space.

Choosing a Silver Refrigerator for Home or Office
Refrigerators come in many different options for various uses. Those with separate refrigerator and freezer doors offer access to one area or the other to save energy, and those with auto defrost cycles prevent the buildup of ice, which can make the fridge run less efficiently. Interior shelves keep food organized and easy to find, and red refrigerators with interior lights make it easier to see contents in the back without moving items around.

Portable refrigerators work well in apartments and underneath bars to save space or in areas where a full-sized model is not needed. Reversible doors make it easy to customize the device to a specific area. Beverage refrigerators keep bottles and cans organized, and clear glass doors offer a view of the interior contents with the door still closed.

Is It Necessary to Defrost a Frost-Free Silver Refrigerator?
Frost-free refrigerators employ automatic defrosting and do not require manual defrosting. A frost-free fridge works by warming the internal temperature several times a day to make any accumulated ice dissipate to prevent build-up. Occasionally, it is necessary to check the vent that allows air to circulate to ensure there is no buildup preventing the proper flow.

How Do You Clean a Silver Refrigerator?
Clean stainless steel or silver-colored refrigerators by spraying a light coat of vinegar to the surface and applying a small amount of vegetable oil to a soft cloth and rub clean. The vinegar removes dirt and built-up debris while the oil works to restore the original shine.

Does a Silver Refrigerator Require a Special Type of Outlet?
Most standard-sized refrigerators connect to a common three-prong 110-volt household outlet. A compact fridge or wine case also requires a standard-sized outlet. The size of the fuse to the appliance should be at least 15 amps. However, some larger appliances require a dedicated 20-amp circuit for proper use.
