What type of stainless steel is used?
Liebherr stainless steel fridge freezer appliances are manufactured with stainless steel type 1.4016 (commonly known as 430). Appliances such as refrigerators are often manufactured using this type of steel due to the corrosion resistance and the fact that it is easy to machine, producing a beautiful quality finish. However, a Liebherr stainless fridge also features a special coating called SmartSteel.
What is SmartSteel?
SmartSteel is a special coating applied to the door surface of Liebherr stainless steel fridge and freezers. Selected models in the range also feature SmartSteel on the side panels. SmartSteel reduces the visibility of smudges and is scratch resistant. Not only does this mean your appliance visually looks cleaner from one day to the next compared to traditional stainless steel, but due to the coating when it does need a clean, it is very easy to clean.
SmartSteel should only ever be gently cleaned with a microfiber cloth. For anything that requires a little more elbow grease, water with a small portion of dishwashing liquid should suffice. Stainless steel cleaner should never be used on appliances coated with SmartSteel as it can irreversibly destroy the superior coating.
What features do the stainless steel range include?
Features in the Liebherr range of stainless steel appliances depend on the model but include internal ice makers for the perfect filtered ice cube, easy to clean glass shelves, translucent freezer drawers for easy viewing of contents, and BioFresh for longer storage of fresh food. BioFresh technology keeps food fresher for longer than traditional refrigeration storage.
Not all types of food need the same temperature and humidity, so Liebherr introduced an additional temperature zone ‘BioFresh’, where many types of food can be kept fresh significantly longer than in a traditional refrigerator compartment. With its own temperature control, BioFresh is kept at just above 0°C and combined with high humidity (HydroSafe) results in fruit and vegetables staying fresher for longer, while a dry environment (DrySafe) is ideal for storing meat, fish and dairy products.
With BioFresh, not only is the appearance and fresh flavour maintained but first and foremost, the valuable vitamins and minerals our bodies crave are preserved much longer. Research* revealed benefits of a BioFresh drawer compared to a normal refrigerator included 92% higher vitamin C values, with some foods even showing an increase in vitamin C content. Weight retention during storage was also increased by 68.3% on average and wastage in preparation was significantly reduced.
