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, labeling stays legible and storage space
remains neat and clear. No-Frost’s temperature control helps keep
food fresher for longer.
