    • Dual Evaporation: true (A cooling system that works to create a stable climate for the refrigerator and freezer separately.

    • Defrost Type: Automatic (Ice build-up can reduce the appliance’s cooling capacity, making it work harder and consume more energy. Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

A: Hi there, thanks for taking the time to connect with us. We truly appreciate you considering this fantastic side-by-side refrigerator for your home and are happy to answer this for you!

The Independent Temperature Controls also allow you to set distinct temperatures for specific dishes.
