4. Product Features

4.1. Large Capacity Dual Zone

The 48 Quart (45L) capacity is divided into two independent zones: approximately 13.96 Quart and 34.04 Quart. This allows for flexible use as a refrigerator/freezer, refrigerator/refrigerator, or freezer/freezer, enabling simultaneous cooling of drinks and freezing of meat without affecting the temperature of the other zone.

4.2. Temperature Control and Modes

The temperature range for both zones is from -4℉ (-20℃) to 68℉ (20℃). The unit features both ECO (Energy Efficiency) and MAX (Fast Cooling) modes. MAX mode rapidly cools the unit to 32℉ (0℃) within approximately 15 minutes.
