Know before you buy
The dual refrigeration system uses two separate cooling systems for the refrigerator and freezer. This prevents dry, freezer-chilled air from circulating into the refrigerator, which helps keep your produce crisp and prevents flavor transfer between compartments.
This is a panel-ready unit, meaning it does not come with finished front panels. You will need to work with your cabinet maker or kitchen designer to provide custom panels that match your kitchen cabinetry for a seamless, built-in look.
The refrigerator features an advanced air purification system that scrubs the air every 20 minutes. It is designed to reduce odors, bacteria, and ethylene gas, which helps your fresh food last longer.
To maintain a clean, minimalist exterior aesthetic, the filtered water dispenser is located inside the refrigerator compartment.
Yes, the interior features adjustable glass shelving. You can easily reposition them to accommodate tall bottles, large platters, or bulky containers as your storage needs change.
No, the unit is engineered with a quiet, gentle door closure system. It is designed to close smoothly and securely without requiring extra effort or slamming.
