USING THE APPLIANCE
Information about New Generation Cooling Technology
- Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a different operating system to static Other (static) fridges may experience a build up of ice in the freezer compartment due to door openings and humidity in the food.
- In such fridges, regular defrosting is required; the fridge must be switched off, the frozen food moved to a suitable container and the ice which has formed in the freezer compartment
- In fridges with new-generation cooling technology, a fan blows dry cold air evenly throughout the fridge and freezer
- The cold air cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity and ice build-
- In the refrigerator compartment, air blown by the fan, located at the top of the refrigerator compartment, is cooled while passing through the gap behind the air At the same time, the air is blown out through the holes in the air duct, evenly spreading cool air throughout the refrigerator compartment.
- There is no air passage between the freezer and refrigerator compartments, therefore preventing the mixing of odours.
- As a result, your fridge, with new-generation cooling technology, provides you with ease of use as well as a huge volume and aesthetic
