InformationOnNo-FrostTechnology
No-frostrefrigeratorsdifferfromotherstaticrefrigerators
intheiroperating principle.
Innormalfridges,the humidityenteringthe fridge due to
dooropeningsandthehumidityinherentinthe foodcauses
freezing inthe freezerdepartment. Todefrostthefrostandice
inthefreezercompartment, youareperiodicallyrequired to
turnoffthe fridge,placethefoodthatneedstobe keptfrozen
inaseparatelycooledcontainer,andremovetheicegath-
eredinthefreezerdepartment.
Thesituationiscompletelydifferentinno-frostfridges.Dry
andcoldairisblownintothefridgeand freezercompartments
homogeneouslyand evenlyfromseveralpointsviaablower
fan.Coldairdispersed homogeneouslyandevenlybetween
theshelvescoolsallofyourfoodequallyand uniformly,thus
preventing humidityandfreezing.
Thereforeyourno-frostfridgeallowsyoueaseofuse,in
