Generally long-term exposure of the product to temperatures more than the maximum can result in ineffective operation.)
  • Features
    • Configuration: Built-in (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
    • Refrigerator Style: No Freezer
    • Convertible Temperature Zone: false (Refrigerators with this feature include a separate compartment with independent temperature controls from the main product.

Whether it’s a place to chill beverages for an evening with friends, keep snacks cool, or even provide extra freezer space.)
    • Garage Ready: false (Garage Ready appliances have been tested by the manufacturer to operate within a wider range of external temperatures than the average home environment, such as a garage which can fall below freezing or heat above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation for detailed external operating temperature requirements.​)
    • Dual Evaporation: false (A cooling system that works to create a stable climate for the refrigerator and freezer separately.

Freezers tend to require lower humidity while refrigerators require higher humidity to keep foods fresher for longer.)
    • Door-Open Alarm: false
    • 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.)
