The nameplate on mine, an RM182BEGI(electronic gas ignition),lists the gross volume as 1.45 cubic feet (41.06 liters) The net volume is a more useful figure. The interior of the box measures (rounded) 350mm wide x 470mm high x 260mm deep, for a gross volume of 42.77 liters. The insulated portion of the door intrudes on this volume, and should be subtracted as follows, again rounded: 350mm wide x 470mm high x 29mm deep, for a volume of 4.77 liters. The area occupied by the evaporator cooling fins, the drip tray below, and the dead space to each side and above measures approximately 346mm wide x 187m high x 79mm deep, for a volume of 5.11 liters. Thus the net volume available is approximately 32.89 liters = 34.75 quarts = 1.16 cubic feet.
