Additional Details and Functions

The refrigerator uses a ventilated system with forced distribution of cold air in the refrigerator compartment, promoting even temperature distribution. Humidity Control and MultiFlow further support optimal storage conditions, while Air plus keeps food fresher for longer.

The LED display shows programmes, functions and options selected, including the Fast freezing and ECO functions and the temperature alarm. The Fast freezing function brings the temperature of the compartment down when activated a few hours prior to usage, while the economical mode analyses fridge functioning and optimises the operating cycle to reduce power consumption.

LED interior lighting provides an energy efficient and long lasting way of illuminating the interior. Temperature and door status are monitored via a temperature alarm, temperature alarm lamp and an acoustic and visual door open alarm.

The 4 stars freezing compartment is designed for better food preservation, with a 4 star freezing rating and 8 kg/24 h freezing capacity. The automatic defrost system works by defrosting at regular intervals, eliminating the need to defrost altogether.
