Whirlpool’s innovative combi fridge freezer keeps food fresher for longer

Whirlpool’s freestanding combi fridge freezer; the WBC3546 FCX, not only benefits from Whirlpool’s patented 6th Sense technology that uses sensors to adapt and control temperature rises, but also features new ‘Fresh Control’™ technology, which constantly controls the humidity of the fridge to keep food fresher for longer.

‘Fresh Control’™ operates by using active sensors that sense changes in temperature and humidity, and control and adapt accordingly, allowing an optimal environment to maintain food properties. As it maintains the water content of the food, it helps preserve vitamins, antioxidants and useful microelements so food looks, tastes and smells fresher for longer.

Whirlpool’s unique 6th Sense ® technology quickly restores the required temperature after the door is opened – thanks to its electronic sensors that constantly monitor the temperature so that it is able to respond quickly to any changes. This particular model can recover the temperature up to 10 times faster than a conventional appliance.

Air quality is further improved by the advanced anti-bacterial filter that helps purify circulating air, reducing bacteria, odours and the risk of cross-contamination between different foods. The fridge also has a special cooler compartment especially designed to store meat and fish for longer, while the freezer has innovative balconies in the door which are ideal for storing frozen pizza as it frees up space in the main storage drawers.

Dean McKelvie, Product Manager Freestanding at Whirlpool, said: “Today the consumer is looking to refresh and revive the home, with the kitchen at the heart. Spending more time in the kitchen, socialising and entertaining, we believe that the consumer is looking for appliances that are a long-term investment created through product innovation, quality and value.

“Whirlpool fridge freezers are full of thoughtful design features to make storing food easier and more convenient, maximising available space and providing dedicated humidity zones. We are committed to creating innovative ways to extend food preservation, increased energy efficiency and elegant design that will complement and enhance every home and lifestyle.”
