Soft-Freezing is set at the time of purchase.
Food does not quickly freeze
With Soft-Freezing, food freezes at about -7°C,
so it may take up to about 24 hours for food to
completely freeze.
Supercool Freezing takes time (about 8 to 9 hours)
to uniformly freeze food from the core.
Soft-Freezing freezes food
Food appears to freeze just as when it freezes in the
freezer.
The outer walls heat up signifi cantly
(to about 50 to 60°C) immediately
after installation and in summer. This
is because the heat discharging and
condensation prevention pipes are
located on the sides and the top of the
refrigerator. They are required for cooling
and the heat is not an abnormality.
The refrigerator compartment rotating
partition also has a condensation
prevention heater that heats up.
A heat discharging fan is located under the refrigerator.
Warm air may be discharged from here.
