Distinguishing Features
The Liebherr refrigerator (manufactured in Germany and Austria) is a symbol of the European standard of household appliances. The latest technology allows the company to create super-class A devices that save 30% more energy than the most popular class A models from other brands.
The Liebherr refrigerator is produced daily by the company in the amount of more than seven thousand units. Consumers are offered small-sized, built-in, combined, one- and two-chamber models. In addition, the brand also manufactures freezers, wine cabinets, professional refrigeration equipment.
A bit of history
The company was founded by Hans Liebherr in 1949. Then it was a family business. The first success was brought by small mobile Liebherr models - refrigerators, reviews of whichfirst buyers aroused interest, thereby laying the first bricks in the building of a thriving brand.
Starting from the 60s of the last century, the company launches the production of devices using innovative FrostSafe technology. It is a chamber divided into four sections, each of which is cooled independently. Liebherr refrigerators, whose customer reviews made a splash, are still known for the most non-standard approaches and innovative solutions of their manufacturer.
Since the 70s, the Liebherr refrigerator has become "intelligent": it regulates the temperature itself using electronic controls and emits beeps at critical moments.
80s brought new trends to the production of a well-known brand - portable models. You can take them with you on a picnic, on vacation, on long trips. Liebherr was the first to provide this unique opportunity. Refrigerators, with customer reviews of convenience and ease of use, which began to sound more often, brought the brand to a new, higher quality level.
Since the 90s, the company has been focusing on the environmental friendliness of its models. In 1993, it was officially announced that the refrigeration equipment of the corporation is completely switching to new technologies that do not lead to the destruction of the ozone layer of the atmosphere. And today the company pays special attention to environmental issues, even if it is not always profitable from a commercial point of view.
The Liebherr refrigerator (made in Germany) introduced the world to another innovation - No Frost technology. She allowed the hostesses to forget about the problem of defrosting the device. Now, of course, this system is offered by many brands. However, Liebherr refrigerators were the first. Customer feedback suggests that this feature is still popular and in demand today.
Basic elements of the device
The company offers the following main features in its refrigeration units:
- automatic camera defrost;
- the presence of a cold storage device, which is used to balance and stabilize the temperature regimes of the device;
- long time to maintain the initial performance in the event of a power outage or power outage;
- presence of additional indicators;
- using frozen food storage calendars. Luxury refrigerators are equipped with an electronic version of this function;
- high energy savings;
- availability of freezer tray;
- sound and optical alarm that reports a poorly closed refrigerator door, an emergency increase in temperature, etc.;
- using LED lighting;
- electronic control that ensures high precision refrigeration equipment.
Depending on the specific model, the technical device may have other additional functions.
Main technology
German Liebherr refrigerators are a treasure trove of innovations that help improve food storage quality. The corporation offers the following technologies in its many models:
BioFresh – refrigerator system that allows you to control the temperature and humidity level inside the appliance. This function allows you to select the optimal storage conditions for different types of food. Meat, fish and milk are best suited for low humidity levels, while fruits and vegetables are best suited for high humidity levels. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to increase the shelf life of products at least three times. In addition, this system does not allow food to freeze completely, which allows you to save all the necessary vitamins, minerals and taste.
Similar technology is offered by other companies, calling it the "freshness zone", etc., but the author of this innovation, of course, is Liebherr. Refrigerators, reviews of which are only enthusiastic, are presented in a wide range of models and have additional features.
CoolPlus - a system that protects the refrigerating chamber from a decrease in the level of ambient temperature indicators. This technology is used in single compressor models. The system functions in such a way that when the ambient temperature drops, the compressor of the device starts to work intermittently. This is reflected in the climate of the chamber. This technology allows you to extend the life of the compressor. This is achievedthanks to the presence of a sensor in the freezer that reacts to changes in ambient temperature and thereby regulates the compressor activity level.
Door sliding - a technology for establishing a door, in which it connects directly to a furniture niche. This function is used by the Liebherr built-in refrigerator.
Door on door
FrostControl is a system that protects food in the event of power outages. The technology captures the initial temperature readings before the power cut and keeps them as long as possible.
NoFrost is a popular cooling system that avoids the formation of frost and ice on the walls of the chamber. This is achieved by a special air circulation, in which moisture exits the refrigerator. At the same time, all products are blown with cool air, which allows you to qualitatively increase their shelf life without freezing to the chamber machines.
SmartFreeze is a special refrigerator cooling technology that allows you to quickly freeze large amounts of food.
SuperCool - a special mode of rapid cooling, in which the temperature in the chamber drops to +2 degrees for 6 hours. After that, the technical device automatically switches to the normal mode of operation. This function is used in cases where you need to quickly cool a large amount of food in the shortest possible time.term. With this technology, the temperature level of those products that are already inside the equipment does not increase.
SuperFrost - ultra-fast freezing mode for food in the freezer. This function allows you to cool a large amount of food at temperatures from -32 to -38 degrees. Freezing in this mode allows you to better preserve the quality of the products.
Additional features
Besides the mentioned systems of operation, the equipment also includes other functions of Liebherr technical devices. Refrigerators, consumer reviews of which contain only positive, work on the following additional technologies:
GlassLine - a special concept for the interior finishing of equipment. The shelves and drawers of refrigerators are made of special tempered glass, which is easy to clean and protects the surface of the equipment from scratches. The height of containers and other functional components is easily adjustable, which allows you to organize the space inside depending on the purpose of use and personal preferences.
IceMaker is an automatic built-in ice maker that connects to the central water supply. The function provides a supply of a kilogram of shaped ice, the amount of which is constantly replenished depending on the consumption.
MagicEye - a special design of the control panel of a technical device, according to which a multifunctional digital display is placed on the door or wall of the refrigerator, which notifies the owners of everything that happens in the work of thisequipment.
Net@Home is an innovative remote control technology for refrigeration equipment that allows you to remotely control the operation of individual components of the device. It is convenient to use if, for example, the refrigerator and freezer are in different rooms.
SoftSystem – a special system that allows you to close the doors of refrigeration equipment smoothly and without jerks. However, if the opening angle is less than 30 degrees, it will automatically close.
SuperQuiet - a technology that ensures the quiet operation of refrigerator compressors.
Depending on the model range of the refrigerator, it may have other additional functions.
