Information on No-Frost Technology

No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in their
operating principle.
In normal refrigerators the humidity entering the refrigerators due
to opening the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes
freezing in the backside of air duct. To defrost the frost and ice in
the backside of air duct, you are periodically required to turn off the
refrigerator, place the food that needs to be kept cooled in a
separately cooled. The situation is completely different in no-frost
refrigerators. Dry and cold air is blown into the refrigerator
compartment homogeneously and evenly from several points via
a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly
between the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly,
thus preventing humidity and freezing. Therefore your no-frost
refrigerators allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity
and stylish appearance.
