TDM System (Time-Divided-Multi-Evaporator system)

• Each compartment has an evaporator, microprocessors and a refriger-

ant-control-valve to control the refrigeration cycle. The 4 evaporators

enable improved efficiency and humidity in the fridge. Food odor from

the refrigerator does not affect food in other compartments because

the cooler and air flow systems are separate.

Multi-Flow System

• Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level.This pro-

vides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food

fresh longer.

Door Alarm

• Beeper reminds you that the door is open.

Xtra FreshTM

• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.

Arctic Select ZoneTM Drawer

• Arctic Select Zone Drawer can be changed from a freezer to
