Key Features:
Gorenje RF62301BK Grade ‘A’ Rating Fridge Freezer works with the help of one compressor. The unit is electronically controlled. The key feature of the fridge is its automatic defrosts system. In this function, blocks of ice is not formed in the interiors of the fridge. The fridge automatically sustains the cold air in circulation and keeps the atmosphere dry. The freezer has a system of manual defrosting. The reason behind this is to conserve energy. Auto defrost consumes more energy than the manual one. So with the help of using both the systems of defrosting this model helps to conserve energy and save money as well.
Another important feature that comes with this model is its “fast cooling” and “fast freezing” functions. When fresh food is kept inside, droplets of condensation take place which invariably bring down the temperature from the ideal one. This tends to thaw the food that is already in the fridge earlier and thus can cause wastage. With this particular feature all this is avoided. The fridge or the freezer ensures that the new food is cooled very quickly to enable the ideal temperature to remain static. This ensures that the food remains fresh for a very long time.
Additional features:

There is a dairy shelf where the butter and milk products can be stored. The egg tray is flexible; it can hold 6 eggs closed or 12 eggs without cover. Bottles can be organised in the bottle holder. There is a large crisper box for keeping vegetables and fruits. They provide the right temperature and humidity keeping the vegetables fresh for a very long time. The freezer too has a door shelf. It has one wire shelf and one compartment with a cover to store frozen food. The covered compartment helps to segregate the food that has to be stored. This model comes with deep balconies for more storage. About 4 to 5 kgs of fresh food can be frozen within 24 hours.
