TDM System (Time-Divided-Multi-Evaporator system)
,,Each compartment hasan evaporator. Also Microprocessors and a

refrigerant-control-valve control the refrigeration cycle. The 4 evapora-
tors enable improved efficiency and humidity in the fridge. Food odor
from the refrigerator does not affect food in other compartments
because the cooler and air flow systems are separate.

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.

Door Alarm

Beeper reminds you that the door is open.

Xtra FreshTM

Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
