Smart cooling: the Freshness Centre.

The science of food preservation is about creating the right conditions for the right foodstuff. That science has led to the development of the Siemens Freshness Centre, featuring the humidity-controlled hydroFresh vegetable drawer and the chilled coolBox drawer, each designed to provide the perfect conditions for storing different types of food for longer. And they do so in style. The sturdy and spacious drawers slide smoothly and securely on telescopic rails; they are transparent for convenience, and with a sleek steel-look trim, they reflect perfectly Siemens’ philosophy of beautiful design.

The hydroFresh vegetable drawer

The hydroFresh vegetable drawer keeps vegetables, salad and fruit fresh for twice

as long*. By manually controlling internal humidity, the hydroFresh compartment keeps food from drying out, thus

preserving precious vitamins, and keeping it crisp, flavoursome and more nutritious

for longer. Because it doesn’t spoil as quickly, you end up throwing much less away.

*Compared with a standard frost free fridge compartment.

The coolBox – quicker, cooler, twice as fresh

The coolBox is an extra cool fridge drawer

where the temperature is maintained at 1-4ºC below the rest of the fridge compartment. It’s the ideal home for fish, meat, cold cuts, poultry and beverages, and

at a fridge setting of 4ºC, the coolBox keeps food fresh for twice as long*. Temperature- controlled airflow within the coolBox ensures a uniform temperature and means faster cooling of the contents – great for cold drinks on a hot day.
