Coolsaver maintains longer shelf life with better food quality and fresher perishables by removing the ethylene gas that causes premature ripening and decay. Coolsaver also avoids cross transfer of odors and provides an ideal environment in your refrigerator. Coolsaver is a 100% natural inorganic mineral and keeps its full efficiency for several years. Considering the dust and humidity around the Coolsaver during the normal use of the refrigerator, it is recommended to recondition the Coolsaver periodically at each 6 months to satisfy the full effectivity. Reconditioning is a process of cleaning the Coolsaver bag with a vacuum cleaner and then putting it under sunlight for around 6 hours or inside an oven at 80 °C for 1 hour. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 12-18 hours. The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: 2Kg/24h: ).
