The appliance incorporates innovative technologies to enhance food preservation and user convenience.
Key functions include:
- Temperature Regulation: Allows users to set desired temperatures for both the fridge and freezer compartments. Default recommended temperatures are +4°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer, with adjustable ranges of 2°C to 8°C for the fridge and -15°C to -24°C for the freezer.
- Coolmatic Function: Accelerates the cooling of large amounts of warm food placed in the fridge compartment, preventing the warming of other stored items. This function automatically stops after approximately 6 hours.
- Holiday Mode: Designed for periods when the fridge compartment is empty, reducing bad odours while the freezer operates normally. This mode switches off when a different temperature is selected.
- Frostmatic Function: Facilitates pre-freezing and fast freezing of fresh food in the freezer compartment, while protecting already stored foodstuffs from undesirable warming. This function automatically stops after 52 hours.
- DYNAMICAIR Function: Equipped in the refrigerator compartment, this device ensures rapid cooling and more uniform temperature distribution. It activates automatically when needed or can be switched on manually.
