Cooling Modes (ECO/MAX)
The refrigerator features two cooling modes:
- MAX Mode: Provides rapid cooling to reach the desired temperature quickly. Power consumption is up to 55W.

Fast Cooling Performance
The compressor cooling technology allows the unit to drop from room temperature (77°F / 25°C) to 32°F (0°C) in approximately 15 minutes, and reach -4°F (-20°C) within 50 minutes. This ensures efficient preservation of perishables without the need for ice.
