Why Choose Frost Free Fridge Freezers?
A new fridge-freezer is among of the most expensive purchase you'll make for your home. With a variety of options available, it's difficult to choose which is the best for you.
We've talked to experts from AO and iHome to bring you the best features to assist you in choosing the best fridge freezer for your house.
NoFrost Technology
With No Frost, refrigerators and freezers are always frost-free. The defrost mechanism is automatic and you don't have to manually take the ice. It is easier to keep your food at the right temperature. It also allows you save money on energy. Refrigerators that do not require an ice source to circulate the cold air consume less energy.
This technology was created to give you more time on other things. It works in the same way as the auto-defrost systems that are found in traditional refrigerators, but it is more efficient because you don't need to scrape ice off of the freezer's walls. Instead, the evaporator is heated, so the ice transforms into water, which then flows through drainage channels and evaporates. The evaporator creates more heat, so that the temperature of the fridge and freezer is more constant.
Other refrigerators with NoFrost have a special zone of freshness that keeps food more chilled and stops it from drying out. This is especially important for delicate foods such as fruit and fish. NoFrost refrigerators and freezers are more efficient because they last longer during the cooling cycle than refrigerators that use an automatic defrost system.
In refrigerators that have NoFrost, a fan ensures that cold air is evenly distributed throughout the cooling compartment. This helps prevent temperature fluctuations, which can affect the quality of food stored. Refrigerators that are not frozen also have a better humidity level, which helps protect food items from freezer burn and preserves their flavour, texture and nutritional value. They also prevent the accumulation of moisture that can cause odors to develop between food items in the fridge or freezer.
BioFresh Technology
The perfect balance of humidity and temperature allows fresh food to be preserved for longer. The patent-pending BioFresh Technology which is incorporated in Liebherr fridge freezers, delivers on this promise. It transforms refrigerators into flexible storage spaces that can be adjusted to the individual requirements of different kinds of food items.
The BioFresh Safes are distinct, and can be used as "safe boxes for freshness". In these areas you can keep food that has very specific temperature needs. These conditions are perfect for delicate meats, cheeses and even fruits and vegetables. They also work with seafood and fish. In addition, these drawers have a low humidity level and are maintained at approximately 0°C, allowing the storage of unpackaged food items for a longer period of time.
The upper BioFresh Safe can be set to a temperature that is just -2degC. This is a great place to store seafood and fish. The temperature can be lowered by pressing one button to double the time in which seafood and fish can be stored. Slide controls can be used to regulate the humidity in this area.
Liebherr's ICBND5183 Peak BioFresh refrigerators are perfectly equipped to meet your refrigeration needs. The refrigerators feature innovative shelving and practical storage options, such as the VarioBoxes or Bottle Shelf that allows you to store a variety food items in perfect condition. They also have an elegant design that will complement your contemporary kitchen decor. The user-friendly controls give you easy access to all settings and cooling options which allows you to adjust the appliance to your personal preferences.
Drawers
The drawers in a refrigerator freezer are designed to help keep food well-organized. They are designed to store food of different sizes and shapes. This allows you to locate the right item, and reduces the risk of jamming. Some models also come with built-in dispensers for ice cubes and water which provide an additional level of convenience.
Refrigerator freezers are available in different sizes to suit the layout of your kitchen and household size. The capacity of the freezer in the fridge can be a major factor in your decision. You should ensure that it is big enough to hold all the food items you keep. You should be aware that the capacity is usually measured without shelves. Look over the product's description to get more information.
If you're looking to skip the tedious process of manual defrosting then consider a frost-free fridge freezer. Frost-free freezers maintain a dry environment to prevent ice build up, meaning you won't have to defrost manually again. This will save you time and money since you won't have to pay for expensive energy to run the defrosting device.
Energy efficiency is another important factor to take into account when choosing a fridge freezer. Pick a model with an energy rating that is high to reduce your home's environmental impact and reduce your electric bill. Find an appliance that has an A+ energy rating, which is the most efficient choice available. Also, you should choose models with an adjustable hinge so that you can choose the side of the kitchen on which the refrigerator opens.
Ice Maker
Ice makers allow you to keep your refrigerator full of ice, which can come handy when entertaining. The appliance is fed by an aqueous supply and creates ice when needed. Some models come with a removable ice sheet to save space inside the door of the freezer.
If your fridge freezer maker isn't working You may need to make sure that the power indicator light on the display panel is on. Make sure that the icemaker's fill tube is not frozen or blocked. This can block the water from getting to the ice tray. You can also check the arm of the ice maker to determine whether the ice is actually being produced.
If you're looking to alter the settings on your fridge freezer, press the 'dispense' button until the option you're looking for appears. You can select from different options, such as chilled water or crushed ice. You can choose an option for the holiday season that will shut off the ice maker, but keep your fridge running at a lower temp to preserve food and prevent odours.
Some fridge freezers are equipped with locks that are key-operated which lets you restrict who can access the appliance. This is a great feature for parents with children, as it prevents settings from being accidentally changed. Frydge is especially useful in an American style fridge freezer as the water dispenser and ice can be easily accessed by little ones. The locking system, which is usually made from plastic or copper, is resistant to corrosion and will ensure that your refrigerator continues to perform well for a long time.
Energy Efficiency
Refrigerators and freezers are in use all day long, so they can be a significant source of electricity consumption. Therefore, it is important to invest in an energy efficient model so that you could save a significant amount on your electric bills.
A refrigerator that is energy efficient will not only lower the cost of electricity however, it will also help to reduce the impact on our environmental footprint. New fridges must now be clearly marked with their energy rating, which goes from A+++ (the most efficient) to G.
There's a variety of models available, from small worktops and drinks chillers to large American-style fridge freezers. The energy consumption of your fridge will be influenced by the size and quantity of drawers or shelves or trays, as well as water dispensers.
The type of refrigerant used can also affect the efficiency of your fridge's energy use. For example CFCs, which were once popular cause the destruction of the ozone layer therefore are being phased out and replaced with more eco-friendly HFCs.
A large percentage of modern refrigerators and freezers are manufactured using Greenfreeze technology. This uses propane or isobutane (R290) as a refrigerant, and cyclopentane as the insulation foam.
Other features that save energy include door within a door access to the fridge which means you'll lose less cold air when you just have to go for milk or juice and a temperature zone that is flexible that can be changed from a fridge to a freezer at the touch of one button. Some fridges come with transparent doors, that allow you to see inside without opening the front. These fridges will be at the higher price, however they will be worth it in the form of lower running costs and reduced food wastage.
