About Whirlpool NeoFresh No Frost Refrigerator Primary Function: Hűtőszekrény

Book Text: A NeoFresh egy kétajtós, jégmentes hűtőszekrény, amelyet olyan háztartások számára terveztek, amelyek hetente vásárolnak, és nagy, rugalmas tárolóhelyre van szükségük. A fagyasztó körkörös légáramlási rendszert alkalmaz, amely korlátozza a hideg levegő elvesztését a fagyasztóajtó nyitásakor. A gondosan elhelyezett szellőzőnyílásokkal ellátott légtorony hűvös levegőt juttat a különböző rekeszekbe az egyenletes hűtés érdekében. A légmentesen záródó zöldségtartók segítenek megőrizni a frissességet, az állítható polcok pedig lehetővé teszik a belső tér testreszabását. A csúsztatható tálca könnyű hozzáférést biztosít a hátul elhelyezett termékekhez, a szagtalanító egység pedig frissen tartja a belső teret.
