The Series 11 Integrated Refrigerator Freezer is almost majestic in appearance. It aesthetically blends into modern kitchen cabinetry for a discreet look thanks to the use of premium materials, flush-fit installation with gaps of just 3 mm and invisible hinges. It also offers the user the flexibility to make a bold design statement with a selection of customised door panels. A closer look reveals how much attention has been paid to details such as the thoughtfully crafted handles. The appliance’s sleek contours convey a sense of lightness and allow it to blend in with the rest of the kitchen furniture. “A near-perfect refrigerator,” was the jury’s verdict. “Everything is meticulously coordinated, from choice of form and materials to shelf runners, lighting, shelving and door compartments. The Integrated Refrigerator Freezer has a beautiful and very luxurious look.” It’s what’s inside that counts – a saying that can easily apply not only to the user but also to their kitchen. In this respect, the Integrated Refrigerator Freezer is more than just an exceptional refrigerator; it is also an innovative example of precision engineering. In terms of form, this is reflected in the energy-efficient steel interior lining, the full-extension metal shelf runners, the robust glass shelving and the organised drawers with hinges which are built to withstand daily use. And, in terms of function, it is reflected in the manufacturer’s ActiveSmart Foodcare technology, which responds intelligently to the user’s lifestyle. Based on eating and consumption patterns, the appliance automatically adjusts temperature, airflow and humidity. There is also a variable temperature drawer for storing food that can be switched between three modes (Chill, Fridge and Pantry) with a single touch or remotely via SmartHQ, depending on the type of food being stored. The Red Dot jurors discovered further inspiring details: “The hinge mechanism opens the door gently and quietly, and the ice maker is discreetly integrated into the appliance’s interior. Precision engineering is evident with every product interaction.” The Integrated Refrigerator Freezer combines user-centric design with intelligent functions. This design is cool in more ways than one.
