Bosch HEATKITB82 Benchmark, Accessory For Cooling
Enhance your Bosch refrigerator setup with this Heater Kit Accessory, designed for specific installation scenarios. It is ideal for use when refrigerator columns are placed less than 6 inches apart, provided they are not in a traditional side-by-side configuration and do not involve a freezer column. This accessory ensures proper functionality and integration for non-traditional layouts. Consult the manual for detailed installation instructions and further information to optimize your appliance arrangement. This is the Bosch Fresh Protect Starter Kit, an accessory designed for cooling applications. It functions as an Ethylene Absorber, which actively slows down the ripening process of your produce, helping it stay fresher for longer periods. It is designed to be used in any refrigerator produce drawer. For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the absorbers every 6 months. The refill kit conveniently includes the user manual, a 1-time strip with a status display, an adhesive strip, and two ethylene absorbers.
