service center.

Placethe refigeratorin an appropriateloca-

nal)

When the refrigerator is plugged in,

the interior light should come on when

you open the doors.

Oncethe refrigeratortemperatureissuffi-

ciently low,you can storefood in the

refrigerator.After startingthe refrigerator,it

takes a few hoursto reachthe appropriate

temperature.

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)
