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.

coolBox
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.
*Compared with a standard frost free
fridge compartment.
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.
