While Christmas is a time for joy, it can also be fraught with worry. While we look forward to our food and wine, the chance to relax and enjoy the warm company of family and friends, the sheer scale of the festive season can weigh on our mind. How will I get all the groceries I need in the fridge at once? How soon can I go shopping to ensure our food will stay fresh for long enough? How much of it will go to waste?
Leading global appliance manufacturer, Whirlpool has tackled these major consumer headaches with its latest range of Supreme NoFrost freestanding combi fridge freezers in a selection of sizes including one that’s two metres tall, which stock all you will need to make for a happy holiday time. The range champions food preservation technology; whichever size you choose, each model is chock-full of innovation and thoughtful benefits to help you store and save more food for much longer, which is everyone’s dream over the festive season.
Whirlpool understands, in the busy run up to Christmas, the need to keep shopping trips to the minimum, and be able to preserve a variety of fresh food for longer, which is essential over the festive period. The latest Whirlpool Supreme NoFrost combi fridge freezer is a prompt response to these urgent consumer needs, so you can shop early and store the Christmas treats in the best conditions for longer.
A true revolution to the food-cooling world, the top-of-the-range Supreme NoFrost refrigerator, was developed following the company’s European survey¹ about consumers’ food habits and attitudes towards food preservation, which revealed that 86 per cent of Europeans said avoiding food waste was a real priority. That same 86 per cent also stated that what they wanted most from a new generation refrigerator was storage that preserves food (including raw meat, fish, fruit and vegetables) freshness, taste and colour for longer. They also stated that the perfect freezer should completely eliminate irritating food-freezer burn and conserve the quality of frozen food, keeping it at its best.
Whirlpool Supreme NoFrost technology has two independent no frost systems, one for the fridge and one for the freezer, providing the best frost-free climate to store fresh and frozen food. Supreme NoFrost ensures excellent food preservation, optimum humidity and eliminates the mixing of odours between the fridge and the freezer.
The 6th Sense® FreshControl technology constantly monitors temperature and humidity levels throughout the fridge compartment and will keep all your festive goodies in superb condition for up to four times longer². According to food technology experts³ the ideal fridge humidity is 70-85 per cent, exactly that guaranteed by Whirlpool’s 6th Sense FreshControl technology. The fridge freezer will also restore to the correct temperature five times faster², after the door has been opened, preventing wasted energy and keeping food in perfect condition for longer.
For storing your festive fresh meat, poultry, fish or special deli items, the Activ0° compartment maintains the perfect environment, at approximately 0°C, ensuring food stays fresher for longer, conserving its appearance, texture and nutritional properties. And, should you run out of fridge space, the compartment may be converted to standard refrigeration temperature at any time.
As well as extending food life and reducing waste, the Supreme NoFrost fridge freezer range is frost-free so is very easy to maintain. In addition, it has a clean and hygienic interior that conceals the water droplets or frost that visibly gathers at the back of traditional fridge freezers.
The range is equipped with a super-sized freezer drawer, ideal for the ubiquitous turkey, gigantic gateaux and to store different shapes and sizes of food container. And it won’t let you down when your party is in full festive swing, supplying ice cubes in record time. It will make ice cubes in just 30 minutes, 75 per cent faster than traditional freezers.
Whirlpool’s FreezeControl technology will keep all your festive food in excellent condition right up to Christmas day and beyond as it keeps the freezer temperature constant, even during the defrosting phase, protecting frozen food quality, taste and colour. The technology also reduces freezer burn by up to 50 per cent, which occurs when frozen foods lose moisture on the surface.
Attention to detail is always a Whirlpool priority, so combining optimum functionality with an appealing look is essential. Finished in the modern Absolute design aesthetic it combines contemporary, intuitive design to blend with a variety of kitchen styles and combines functionality with an appealing look. Not just technology, but also flexible internal organisation, revamped and upgraded, equals better food management. All this comes with a new LED lighting system for perfect visibility throughout, with the bonus of energy efficiency.
“The beautifully designed Absolute range of Supreme NoFrost fridge freezers is the answer to consumers’ prayers. Our big two meter tall model will prove to be a special boon over the festive season, when we tend to buy much more food and expect to keep it fresh and in its very best condition for longer. Designed specifically to preserve fresh food and to avoid waste, our range of freestanding combi fridge freezers combine the finest technology with the means for optimum management of fresh and frozen food to ensure a chilled-out Christmas for everyone,” comments Jennifer Spragg, Senior Brand Manager, Whirlpool.
