Chiller system
No Frost
This system can be recognised by
the aeration cells located on the
back walls of each compartment.
The No Frost system circulates
cold air continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice and frost
formation. The system maintains
an optimal humidity level in the
compartment, preserving the original quality of the food,
preventing the food from sticking together and making
defrosting a thing of the past.
! Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or
containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back
panel.
! Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Ever Fresh
The absence of air inside the containers ensures that food
is preserved for longer periods of time while maintaining its
original appearance, taste and nutritional characteristics.

* The above table is indicative and refers to food storage in
the refrigerator at temperatures ranging between 3°C and
5°C. The length of time food lasts for will, however,
depend on the initial freshness of the products, preparation
and storage methods, and correct use of the Ever Fresh
function.
! The food’s tendency to spoil and use-by date must
always be borne in mind when using the Ever Fresh food
storage system. This method of storing food does not
change any of the characteristics of the food.
! Use only the containers that come with the product to
store food in the Ever Fresh system. Do not use any other
type of container.
