ciently low,you can store food in the

Twin Cooling System

,,The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this inde-

pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individual-

ly and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator

does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circulation.

Multi-Flow System

Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level.This pro-

vides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food

fresh longer.

Xtra Space TM

,,Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space for

pizza etc.

Door Alarm

Beeper reminds you that the door is open.

Xtra FreshTM

Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
