Fisher & Paykel Launches Integrated Column Refrigerators & Freezers

COSTA MESA, Calif., July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Fisher & Paykel introduces an exceptional new level of personalization with the worldwide launch of the Integrated Column Refrigerators and Freezers.

"The design and functionality of the new Column series is the result of thousands of hours of extensive research and rigorous testing," says Shane Rehm, Fisher & Paykel's Chief Group Engineer for Refrigeration Product Development. "We learned that customers love the idea of independent compartments inside their fridge, and we also know that different foods require different temperatures so we developed a system that combines the two behind a single door."

The modular vertical fridges (24" and 30") and freezers (18", 24", 30") can be mixed and matched with different sizes, finishes and installation either side by side or individually.  Customers can supply their own custom door panel to seamlessly integrate or use optional stainless steel door panels and a choice of four handles.

Columns fit flush with cabinetry with minimal ⅛" gap with no visible hinges, while a toekick allows for variable height and depth. For paired installation, the columns' built-in heating prevents condensation. A joiner kit is included with all freezer columns, and can be purchased as an accessory, making it simple to hide the gap between columns.

A stainless steel interior adds to the premium design and quality finish with soft-close, full extension metal bin runners, and robust cantilevered glass shelves with metal trim. Inside, bright LED lights illuminate the ceiling, shelf, bin and tray, creating a welcoming glow when the doors are open.

At the heart of the range is Fisher & Paykel's state-of-the-art foodcare technology. The Variable Temperature Zone system ensures food is stored at its optimal temperature to stay fresher longer. Working alongside,  ActiveSmart™ Foodcare technology adjusts airflow within the fridge to maintain a stable and even temperature. It also helps the fridge intelligently adapt to daily use and reduce energy consumption.

Fridge and freezer each have three temperature modes, controlled from a central panel. The food modes can be adjusted - within two zones in the same column – giving freedom to use fridge (35F/3C), pantry (54F/12C) or chill mode (31F/0.5C) within the fridge, alongside the freezer column that offers soft freeze (19F/-7C), freezer (13F/25C) or deep freeze.  

Fisher & Paykel North American President, Kevin Dexter says, "Broadening our integrated refrigeration portfolio is critical in our continued path to growing our brand. The seamless design and unique technology that has been engineered into these products is class leading and the perfect addition to our kitchen offering."

Fisher & Paykel's Integrated Columns are now available for presale through local retailers.
