Chiller system

No Frost

The No Frost system

circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity and prevent ice

and frost formation. The

system maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the food from

sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

•Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description).

•Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge the internal temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.

•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

•Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.

•Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

•SHELVES: with or without grill. Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers and food.
