Controlling the refrigerator is easy with the external digital display. It shows the inside
temperatures, when to change your filter and also controls the ice and water dispenser.
Clear View Icemaker
The Icemaker is located in the freezer door, this ensures that all the freezer shelf space can be
fully utilized. Ice cubes are quickly produced and the clear ice bucket lets you easily see the
amount of ice cubes produced.

A "Shape Memory Polymer" is equipped on the "Auto-moisture Drawer(crisper)", which provides
automatic humidity control. To maintain the optimal humidity in the crisper, the fine-mesh holes in
the polymer control the flow of moisture.
