IMPORTANT: Do not expect your freezer to quick freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more un- frozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic

foot of freezer space.) leave enough space for air to circulate

around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

FOOOSTORAGECHAR1

Storage times* will vary according to the quality of the food, the type of packcglng or wrap used (moisture and vapor-proof), and the storage temperature which should be 0°F (-17.8”C).

3ED26MM specifications

The Whirlpool 3ED26MM is a robust and versatile refrigerator designed to meet the diverse needs of modern households. One of its standout features is the spacious interior, which offers ample storage capacity, making it perfect for families or individuals who require more space for their groceries. The refrigerator section provides a generous area for organizing fresh produce, dairy products, and beverages, while the freezer compartment allows for the efficient storage of meats and frozen meals.

One of the key technologies integrated into the Whirlpool 3ED26MM is the advanced cooling system. This system ensures that temperature is evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator, preventing hotspots that can lead to spoilage. The temperature management system involves a multi-flow air system that uses strategically placed vents to circulate cold air, maintaining optimal conditions for food preservation. With this technology, each shelf receives consistent cooling, ensuring that all items, no matter where they are placed, remain fresh for longer.

Another significant feature of the Whirlpool 3ED26MM is its energy efficiency. Designed with the environment in mind, this refrigerator is Energy Star certified, which means it operates using less energy compared to traditional models. This not only helps in reducing electricity bills but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint, making it a responsible choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Additionally, the Whirlpool 3ED26MM is designed with convenience in mind. It features adjustable shelves that allow users to customize the storage space according to their needs. This flexibility is a critical advantage, especially when storing larger items like tall bottles or big containers. The refrigerator also comes equipped with easy-to-clean surfaces and a fingerprint-resistant finish, which simplifies maintenance while keeping the appliance looking sleek and stylish.

The additional cooling technologies, such as the humidity-controlled crisper drawers, further enhance the storage capabilities of the fridge. These drawers help to maintain the ideal humidity levels for fruits and vegetables, extending their freshness and reducing waste.

In conclusion, the Whirlpool 3ED26MM stands out for its combination of spacious design, innovative cooling technologies, and energy efficiency. With its user-friendly features and modern performance, it proves to be a reliable and practical addition to any kitchen.
