MAJOR FEATURES

Twin Cooling System

•

The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually 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 provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food fresh longer.

Xtra Space

• 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 Fresh

• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.

Deodorizer

• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.

CoolSelect Zone

• User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons to quickly chill, thaw and cool items. Select Soft Freeze, Cool or Chill to control the temperature of drawer.

Beverage StationTM(on some models)

he Beverage Station

• T tion, because you do not need to open the refrigerator door to access stored beverages and snacks.

Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer should get slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly.

Once the refrigerator temperature is sufficiently low, you can store food in the refrigerator. After starting the refrigerator, it takes a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature.
