Dual cooling system:

Your refrigerator is equipped with
two separate cooling systems to
cool the fresh food compartment and
freezer compartment. Thus, air in the
fresh food compartment and freezer
compartment do not get mixed.
Thanks to these two separate cooling
systems, cooling speed is much higher
than other refrigerators. Odors in the
compartments do not get mixed. Also
additional power saving is provided
since the defrosting is performed
individually.

Foodstuff to be frozen should not be
allowed to come in contact with the
previously frozen items to prevent their
partial thawing. Thawed out food must
be consumed and must not be frozen
again.

Ice Pack

Ice subsitute pack decelerates
thawing of stored frozen food in case
of blackout or malfunction. Placing the
pack directly on top of the food will
enable the longest storing period.

Ice substitute pack can also be used
to keep food temporarily cold, e.g. in a
