Miele has released a new collection of K7000 coolers that match the brand’s latest built-in cookware. The company also prides itself on having spare parts available for at least 15 years, five years longer than new repair laws require. Miele improves the freshness of food thanks to precise temperatures and minimal temperature fluctuations. This product has DuplexCool – separate circuits for the refrigerator and freezer, which allows users to more accurately control the temperature. Another is DynaCool, where a fan inside the refrigerator circulates air to prevent hot spots and maintains a constant and constant temperature throughout the entire compartment. Third, the temperature accuracy. The thermostat is a precision device that maintains the temperature of the refrigerator regardless of external conditions. This ensures that hot days and cold nights don’t change. The new Miele series also has an additional freshness protection system.

unimaginable 1.3 billion tonnes of food are thrown away every year. Germany alone contributes 12 million tonnes of that, with more than half attributable to households. To combat this, we need a more conscious approach to how we handle food – and an ultra-effective freshness system in our fridges. Thanks to its PerfectFresh Active technology, Miele’s new Generation K 7000 refrigeration appliances are heralding a future with superior food storage conditions. Not only that, but the appliances are also setting new standards in user convenience and lighting.

Fruit and vegetables need moisture in order to stay fresh and crisp. At temperatures between 0 and 3 °C, Miele’s proven PerfectFresh Pro system ensures food stays fresh for up to five times longer than it would in a conventional vegetable compartment. The natural moisture of the food is kept in the closed compartment. PerfectFresh Active, on the other hand, provides long-lasting freshness in a visible way by spraying a fine mist onto the contents of the crisper drawer, preserving the quality of the food and its vitamins. Moisture is therefore supplied extra – for even more freshness. The mist is sprayed from the water container above directly into the drawer every 90 minutes and every time the door is opened. Compact and easy to clean, the water container has a capacity of just 120 ml to hold the small amount of water required for this. The low temperatures keep any nasty contamination at bay, meaning that the container only has to be refilled every two to three months.

Generation K 7000 appliances are also taking user convenience to the next level. Among the real highlights of these new built-in appliances is FlexiTray – a glass shelf that is full-sized but can also be pivoted 180 degrees, so users can say goodbye to rummaging around for storage boxes, jars and small food containers. The upper door shelves can also be adjusted to the perfect height without the need to remove them, which means that even extra-large bottles of juice will fit easily in the bottle holder. The touch displays are intuitive to use and their colour and design are perfectly matched to Generation 7000 built-in appliances.

Yet another standout feature of Miele’s new refrigeration appliances is their effective, atmospheric lighting. The current appliances already have LEDs integrated into their glass shelves to create bright, glare-free lighting throughout the interior – and the lighting even adjusts itself if a shelf is moved. In the future, the FlexiLight 2.0 concept will use “Ambilight” technology to bathe the interior in light that is bright, pleasant and more even. To achieve this, the LED light strips will cover the entire width of the glass shelves. The lighting will also be applied to the IceMaker if one is present, elegantly illuminating it and the many large ice cubes it is able to hold. Some appliance models will also include dedicated LED lighting for the DynaCool dynamic cooling system, which establishes consistent cooling conditions throughout the interior. Additionally, the interior rear wall of some models will feature an elegant, sturdy CleanSteel finish to help ensure that cooling is distributed evenly within the appliance.

With the exception of the entry-level models, WiFi networking (WiFiConn@ct) will be available for all the appliances. This will include the option of sending service notifications to the user’s smartphone or tablet if, for example, the appliance door has been left open inadvertently.
