4.4 Dry Zone and Wet Zone
This refrigerator features specialized compartments to optimize storage conditions for different food types.

Image 4.3: Diagram illustrating the Dry & Wet Zone functionality. This image shows the patented air cooling system that intelligently adjusts temperature and humidity. The Dry Zone maintains humidity below 40% for items like dried mushrooms or tea, preventing moisture loss and nutrient degradation.
- Wet Zone: Ideal for fresh fruits and vegetables. This zone maintains higher humidity (around 90%) to prevent dehydration and keep produce crisp for longer periods.
- Dry Zone: Suitable for items that require low humidity, such as dried goods, nuts, or certain cheeses. This zone helps prevent moisture absorption and spoilage.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the efficiency and longevity of your appliance.
5.1 Cleaning
- Interior: Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Door Gaskets: Clean door gaskets regularly to ensure a tight seal. Use warm water and a soft cloth.
- Condenser Coils: Periodically clean the condenser coils located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator. Dust and debris can reduce efficiency. Unplug the appliance before cleaning coils.
5.2 No Frost System
- The No Frost system automatically defrosts the freezer compartment, eliminating the need for manual defrosting.
- Ensure that food packaging does not block air vents inside the freezer, as this can interfere with the No Frost system's effectiveness.
5.3 Anti-Bacterial Technology
This refrigerator is equipped with anti-bacterial technology to help maintain a hygienic storage environment.
Image 5.1: Visual representation of the Anti-Bacterial Technology. This image highlights the 99.99% bacterial reduction rate achieved by the natural stone bactericidal technology, which utilizes Tourmaline and Cordierite to release negative ions and nano-anions, inhibiting bacterial growth and reducing food metabolic enzymes.
- The integrated anti-bacterial system helps to inhibit bacterial growth and reduce odors within the refrigerator compartments.
- While this technology provides an added layer of hygiene, regular cleaning is still recommended to maintain optimal conditions.
