Kitchen appliances that keep food fresher for longer

Fresh produce is undoubtedly important for our health and wellbeing. With advancements in kitchen appliance technology, it’s now easy to keep food fresher for longer, reducing waste and making shopping, food storage and cooking healthier and more convenient.

Fisher & Paykel’s modular range of Column refrigerators, freezers and wine cabinets provide flexibility for how people shop, cook and entertain. Their zoned compartments, variable temperatures and intuitive technology offer exceptional functionality and personalisation for different needs and lifestyles, whether it’s for mid-week convenience or a weekend gourmet feast.

Fisher & Paykel’s Variable Temperature Zone (VTZTM) technology means food and drink can be stored and organised by temperature and use. The fridges and freezers have separate compartments in which temperatures can be independently adjusted for each specific zone. With the option of Pantry, Fridge, Chill, Soft-Freeze, Freezer and Deep Freeze mode, salads will stay crisp, drinks chilled, ready-made meals frozen, and steaks partially thawed for dinner.

Each zoned compartment is easily accessible, and the food mode can be changed with the press of a button or manually adjusted for full control of how food is stored and cared for. This helps reduce waste and keeps food fresher for longer, and a well-organised fridge saves time packing lunchboxes in the morning and getting dinner on the table at night.

Fisher & Paykel’s Column range is also equipped with ActiveSmart™ Foodcare – a world-first technology that enables refrigerators and freezers to intuitively respond to daily use. The temperature of the chilled environment changes every time the fridge door is opened, reducing food freshness and longevity and increasing energy use. With ActiveSmart™, a sensor monitors when and how often the door is opened, and airflow is adjusted to maintain consistent and stable temperatures.

ActiveSmart™ also rapidly chills fresh food items to a safe temperature; quickly freezes food to retain moisture and nutrients; and intelligently selects the best time to defrost. Plus, it uses only the energy required to maintain consistent temperatures.

When it comes to storing, cellaring and chilling wine, Fisher & Paykel’s Integrated Column Wine Cabinet creates the optimal conditions and enhances the experience and convenience of having a wine collection. Fisher & Paykel refined its VTZ and ActiveSmart™, technology to precisely control temperature and humidity and minimise agitation. The wine cabinet is divided into two independently controlled compartments with the option of four variable temperature settings: Sparkling, White, Red and Cellar. The double-glazed door is tinted for UV protection, while showcasing the collection for display and accessibility.

The modular design of the Column fridges, freezers and wine cabinet allows them to be installed side-by-side or distributed independently throughout the kitchen and butler’s pantry. Their flush-fit design integrates neatly behind joinery doors to create a seamless effect, and cabinetry and handles can be customised to suit any home and lifestyle.

Fisher & Paykel’s Column range makes it easier to live a healthier life. With beautiful, practical and integrated design, they become part of the heart of the home and a backdrop to modern living.
