Information on
No-frost technology
All traditional refrigerators that are not
equipped with No-frost technology have to
be stopped for a certain period in order to
defrost the snow and ice formation inside
the freezer compartment. However,
removing the foods that have to be kept
cool, wiping up the defrosted and water
spilled at that time generally turns into
troubles. Additionally, icinginsidethefreezer
