PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
• A newly developed SAMSUNG bottom mount freezer in 2012 has the following
characteristics.
Surround Multi Flow
• Provides uniform cooling for each shelf and every
corner in the fresh food section.
This is accomplished by using a center positioned
fan and duct with multiple cooling flow openings.
Twin Cooling System
• The refrigerator and the freezer each have an evaporator.
Given this independent system, the freezer and the
refrigerator are cooled individually as required and are,
therefore, more efficient.
Food odor from the refrigerator does not affect food in the
freezer due to separate air flow circulation.
One Touch Water Dispenser (Internal)
• One Hand Water Dispenser (RF261B*)
Secure Auto Close Door System
• Doors close tightly.
• Food on the doors stays cool.
• Prevents moisture from forming on the outside of the
doors.
Slim Water Filtration System
• Slim water filter is placed between crispers for changing
filter conveniently without removing items from Refrigerator.
Electronic control from outside of Pantry Cover
• Adjustable temperature control ((around 41℉(5℃) : Deli /
around 38℉(3℃) : Fresh / around 34℉(1℃) Chilled )
Temperature control from outside of the Pantry : user friendly
design helps keep foods fresh for longer
