Is this refrigerator magnetic? null

The stainless steel used in our refrigerators is austenitic - these have a higher chromium content and nickel is also added. It is the nickel which modifies the physical structure of the steel and makes it non-magnetic. Magnets will be able to stick to the sides of this unit. ^CP

The front of the unit is not magnetic, but magnets will stick to the sides.
