Optimal foodcare from your fridge
It’s reassuring that the steps we take in our own homes to live sustainably and help take care of the planet, are often the ones that collectively make a significant difference.
But that doesn’t mean compromising function over form, or making do with a lesser product. In fact, it’s completely the opposite. Take the issue of food waste. In New Zealand, the average household wastes approximately 79 kilos of food each year, and recent reports estimate a third of all the food produced in the world is never eaten.
Finding the optimum method of storing and preserving food is at the heart of Fisher & Paykel’s design philosophy and cutting-edge research and development. With a strong reputation in refrigeration technology and they believe good design makes life better. Keeping food fresher for longer saves customers money and time, while reducing collective food waste has a significant impact on the world’s resources.
Ideally, we like our celery and lettuce to be as crisp at the end of the week as the day we bought it, but that’s a big ask when you consider how many times the fridge door has been opened, and how many other items get added to the shelves during the week.
Fisher & Paykel’s designers and engineers have created a technology that is intelligent enough to respond to those changes. Called ActiveSmart™ technology – the happy combination of temperature sensors with smart electronics and twin, variable-speed cooling fans. When the fridge door is opened, or new food is added, the airflow intuitively adjusts, quickly cooling new items, and maintaining a stable and even temperature. The technology is available in a variety of models to suit your kitchen and lifestyle, including the new Quad Door model which also includes a Variable Temperature Zone, a compartment that can be easily changed between four different food modes (fridge, chill, soft freeze and freezer), according to the type of food you need to store.
The result is that Fisher & Paykel’s refrigeration products are as effective as they are good-looking. Food stays fresher for longer, and maintains its nutrients. And consumers have noticed. In the recent Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand Awards, Fisher & Paykel topped the “Large Kitchen Appliance” category – in fact they’ve been an award winner for 18 consecutive years.
