Whirlpool has introduced a new Grand Side by Side, freestanding fridge and freezer pair, which brings a new dimension to space in the kitchen.
The pair offers a new and elegant aesthetic, both inside and out, to ooze a premium aura. The newly designed, iconic, integrated handles are sleek and contemporary, while the new metallic finish on each refrigerator shelf edge ,the door balconies and the freezer drawers reflect the high quality finish.
The Whirlpool freestanding Grand Side by Side provides advanced space management, making it easier to store more, while keeping all the contents organised, visible and accessible. The pair provides an outstanding net capacity of 615 litres is the perfect alternative for those who desire a traditional side by side fridge freezer but require more space. To illustrate the freestanding pair’s storage ability, the appliances will comfortably store the contents of up to 23 shopping bags of food1.
The innovative and clever Whirlpool Xlent Fit construction means the appliances may be neatly installed in two, 60 cm spaces, or aligned perfectly and linked together, with the aid of a kit for a clean linear-look, and fit into a 120 cm niche. The models may be located in a variety of positions, as they do not require any space at either side e.g. between the door and a wall, a kitchen unit and may be sited in a corner. Even if access is restricted, by the door opening to just 87 degrees, the drawers and shelves may be accessed easily and completely removed. The hinges are simply adjusted for perfect alignment, and are mounted so the doors open within their own space, enabling total flexibility within the kitchen design. Furthermore the appliances also have the benefit of practical wheels on the base to make it easy to install, align and move, without the risk of marking the floor.
The new refrigerator (SW8 AM2C XARL UK) boasts a generous net capacity of 363 litres. It is fully equipped with intuitive, Whirlpool 6TH SENSE® Fresh Control technology, which automatically monitors the temperature and humidity, creating the ideal conditions for storing food, allowing fresh food to be preserved for up to four times longer2. The fridge also has a dedicated Activ0° compartment, which may be optionally used for the preservation of fresh meat, fish and delicatesserie items at a lower temperature. However should you require additional refrigeration-temperature space then the drawer may be switched off, which extends flexibility. In addition, and a great asset in aiding food preservation, the appliance will restore the temperature to the correct setting five times faster after opening the door2.
The new freezer (UW8 F2C XLSB UK) has a generous net capacity of 252 litres. The seven transparent and fully retractable drawers, which are positioned on a flexible rail and roller system, make for easy access and convenient storage. The freezer offers supreme freezing performance with the added convenience of a ShockFreeze compartment, which will freeze up to two kilogrammes of food in just four hours. Further, intuitive Whirlpool 6TH SENSE® Freeze Control technology reduces freezer burn, preserving the quality and colour of your frozen foods for much longer, by minimising temperature fluctuations by up to 50 per cent³.
Equipped with a handy Eco Night function means the defrost cycle can be set when lower energy tariffs are available, promoting energy saving, while optimising performance and consumption.
Catherine Balderson, Brand Manager, Whirlpool, says: “It is so important for us to deliver appliances that not only keep food preserved for longer, thereby reducing food waste, but incorporate advanced and intuitive technology to work with modern lifestyles.
“This is a versatile solution for those who want extraordinary capacity, and the convenience of less frequent shopping trips, while preserving refrigerated and frozen food for longer.”
