Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, No-Frost fridgefreezer exclusively for domestic use. Whirlpool Total-no-frost fridge freezers circulate chilled air around the storage areas, reducing humidity to prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely eliminating the need for defrosting. Frozen items don't stick to the walls, labelling stays legible and storage space remains neat and clear. No-Frost's temperature control helps keep food fresher for longer. In combination with “6th Sense”, not only does it control the sensor, but directs the cooling power exactly where it is needed, optimising energy efficiency.
