How to build a fridge from a ready-made model

Tap Create Fridge and Select your fridge model opens first — find your brand, tap your model, name it, tap Create. Every shelf is built for you, so there is nothing left to size by hand.

Tip

Picking a model works on any plan; opening the 3D fridge needs a paid one. The shelves are built either way, but on a free collection the fridge shows an upgrade card where its sections list would be.

Caution

The model can only be chosen while you create the fridge. There is no way to apply one to a fridge that already exists — if you have already built its shelves by hand, you would have to create a second fridge. So choose here, first.

On iPhone and iPad

1. On Home, tap Edit beside Cellars & fridges, then Create and Create Fridge.
2. Select your fridge model opens. Brands are listed alphabetically with up to ten models each — tap View all beside a brand for its full range.
3. Tap your model. Every card carries the model number and how many bottles the unit holds, so you can check them against the badge on your own fridge.
4. The name and cover photo arrive filled in from the model. Change the name if you want — it has to be unique in the collection.
5. Tap Create.

Home → Cellars & fridges → Edit → Create → Create Fridge → your model

The first time you open that fridge, Your Fridge is ready appears once, offering View 3D Fridge. The shelves already exist, so you go straight to placing bottles.

A model, or Custom

	A ready-made model	Custom
The shelves	Built for you, shaped to that unit	You build each one yourself
Name and photo	Filled in from the model	You supply them
What happens next	Straight to placing bottles	The app opens the shelf builder for you

Only brands we have modelled appear, so a short list means yours is not among them yet. Tap Custom, under Don’t see your model? Create a fridge manually., and build the shelves as usual — and tell us the brand and model, because that is how the list grows.

Android and web

Ready-made models are not on Android yet: Create Fridge there asks for a name and nothing else. Build the shelves by hand, or create the fridge on iPhone, iPad or the web.

On app.invintory.com, the + beside Cellars & Fridges then Fridge opens the same brands and models, with a search box at each step and the same Custom tile.
