90 Aluminum door bins These adjustable bins offer plenty of storage space and have a variety of uses. They are made of solid, anodised aluminum, which is particularly hygienic and easy to clean, as well as preventing odor transfer from food. Automatic defrosting with water evaporation of condensation water Automatic defrosting ensures that the freezer compartment evaporator is defrosted at regular intervals, leaving the temperature in the freezer compartment virtually unchanged. What little defrosted water there is drains into a container at the back of the appliance and evaporates. During the defrosting process, the minimum storage temperature is maintained in the freezer compartment. Dynamic cool air distribution The dynamic cool air distribution system with its ventilator ensures that the temperature is more evenly distributed within the compartment, allowing items to be stored for longer. The Multi-Air-Flow, an additional air channel behind the door bins and extra air outlets inside the compartment enable an even faster air distribution and ensure equal temperature levels on all shelves. Electronic temperature control With more precise temperature control, food can be stored longer. The keypad with digital temperature display is used for all settings, including special functions. The A – Z of Gaggenau refrigeration and freezer appliances 91 Trays Come in beech with aluminium frame. The display tray showcases valuable bottles, on each level of the storage cabinet. Vacation mode for refrigerators This energysaving program is for when food needs to remain safely refrigerated and frozen while you are away for long periods. At this setting, defrosting is less frequent than normal, which saves both energy and costs. Fast cooling Similar in function and effect to the fast freezing system. Automatic quick-chilling gives maximum chilling power, thus helping to prevent warming of items already stored when new items are placed in the refrigerator. The appliance automatically returns to normal operation. Fast freezing This maximum power setting reduces the extent to which already frozen items warm up when unfrozen items are added to the compartment. What´s more, fast freezing has a beneficial effect on the durability and quality of the frozen food after thawing. The cell structures of frozen foods are not destroyed, and taste and freshness are preserved. The appliance automatically returns to normal operation. Humidity control A humidity regulator is used to maintain natural moisture levels. This creates ideal storage conditions for fruit and vegetables, salad, fresh herbs, etc., which stay fresh, crisp and keep their flavor longer, while retaining vitamins and other nutrients. Ice and water dispenser The external dispenser provides crescent shaped ice cubes and chilled water. The water dispenser accommodates glasses, large pitchers and sports bottles. The integrated ice maker is integrated in the freezer compartment. Water connection required.
