All traditional refrigerators that are not

equipped with No-frost technology have to

be stopped for a certain period in order to

defrost the snow and ice formation inside

the freezer compartment. However,

removing the foods that have to be kept

cool, wiping up the defrosted and water

spilled at that time generally turns into

troubles. Additionally, icing inside the freezer

adversely effects the cooling performance

of the appliance.

Now, refrigerators manufactured under the

No-frost technology present a definite

solution against these problems. The air

Adjusting the refrigerator feet

Your refrigerator is equipped with 2 wheels that provide great ease in placing, moving
and cleaning the appliance.
You can easily block the front wheels by turning the feet in front of them to the left, in
order to prevent any undesired movement of the refrigerator. Thus, back and forth
movement during opening or closing the door is avoided and a more level placement
is achieved.
You can unlock the front wheels by turning the feet in front of them to the right, in order
to clean or move your refrigerator.
