Twin Cooling System
,,The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this inde-
pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually
as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrig-
erator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circula-
tion.
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.
Xtra Space TM
,,Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space for
pizza etc.
Door Alarm
Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra FreshTM
Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
CoolSelect Zone TM Drawer (RS255BA, RS257BA)
