CHAPTER1. BEFOREUSINGYOUR FRIDGE
InformationonNo-FrostTechnology
No-frostfridgesdifferfromotherstaticfridgesintheir
operating principle.
Innormalfridges,thehumidityenteringthe fridge in
the dooropeningsand the humidityofthe food causes
freezingin thefreezerdepartment.Todefrostthesnowand
iceinthefreezerdepartment,youshouldturnoffthefridge,
takethefood that needsto be kept in aconstant
temperature off thefridge,andremovetheicegatheredin
thefreezerdepartmentperiodically.
Thesituationis completelydifferent inno-frostfridges.
Dryand cold airisblowedto thefridgeandfreezer
departments homogeneouslyfromseveral pointsviaa
blowerfan.Coldairdispersedhomogeneouslyeven
between the shelvescoolsallyourfood equallyand
uniformly, thuspreventshumidityandfreezing.
Thereforeyourno-frostfridgeallowsyoueaseof use,
besidesitshugevolumeandstylishappearance.
