Placethe refigeratorin an appropriate loca-
tion with reasonableclearance between the

ciently low, you can storefood in the
refrigerator.After startingthe refrigerator,it
takes a few hours to reach the appropriate
temperature.
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.
Xtra Fresh TM
• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
Deodorizer
• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.
