Twin Cooling System

• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this inde- pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrig- erator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circu-

lation.

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.

Oncethe refrigeratortemperatureis suffi- cientlylow,you can store food in the
