Twin Cooling System
• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this
independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled
individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor
from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to sepa-
rate of 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 TM
• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space
for pizza etc.
Door Alarm
• A beeper reminds if you the door is left open.
Xtra Fresh TM
• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
Deodorizer
• Reusable twin deodorizers keep the refrigerator air fresh and
odor free.
