REFRIGERATOR COMPONENTS
NO FROST CARE SYSTEM
Your refrigerator uses the frost free system making
defrosting unnecessary as it is automatic.
The no frost care system assures homogeneous
distribution of cold air in the whole refrigerator.

• When opening the door of your refrigerator
shelves may fog up due to the entry of hot air
inside the product.
• When opening the door of your refrigerator the
wind-flow system fan stops working, decreasing
the entry of hot air inside the product.

6 minutes, the light is turned off and the fan is
restarted so that the integrity of the system
operation is maintained.

Besides the Frost-free and No Frost Care System,
your refrigerator is also provided with fans for the
freezer and refrigerator compartments to promote
faster cold air circulation and to keep temperature
levels more stable.

foods and beverages stored in the refrigerator.
