Twin Cooling System
,,The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this inde-
pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individual-
ly and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator
does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circulation.
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 FreshTM
,, Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
Deodorizer (on some models)
,, Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.
CoolSelect ZoneTM Drawer (RS265B/RS267/RS269)
