Hygiene is held in high esteem by many the world over. People go to a great lengths to maintain hygiene at home and at work. However, this level of care and attention is not always accorded refrigerators, a home appliance that preserves food items.
This concern was what led to the introduction of Hygiene Fresh+ feature in top mount refrigerators by LG Electronics.
The company’s new health-conscious refrigerators with Hygiene Fresh+™ helps keep food fresher for longer. Its Door-In-Door refrigerator automatically cleans and purifies its internal air ensuring that the air inside is kept fresh and hygienic.
“Well before the trend towards health-conscious products emerged on a global scale, LG had prioritised health and hygiene in its home appliances” said General Manager, Home Appliances Division, LG Electronics West Africa Operations, Hyunwoo Jung.
“The introduction of LG Door-In-Door refrigerators with the hygiene fresh+ feature is the culmination of a long process of Research and Development. This process has made it possible for us to provide an air purification system specifically optimised for refrigerator.
“The inclusion of Hygiene Fresh+™, in a lot of ways, helps to keep food fresher for longer.”
Globally, refrigeration is used to prevent bacteria and germs from growing on food, but many people do not realise that bacteria can also form inside a refrigerator. This means that refrigerators need to be regularly cleaned and aired like any other appliances.
To save consumers the trouble, came up with Hygiene Fresh, a five-stage filtering system with a fan that sucks in contaminated air from the refrigerator and sends it through the filters.
Hygiene Fresh™ works like an air purifier in the fridge, meaning food can breathe in cleaner air and stay fresher for longer. As one of the first air purifying systems in refrigerators, made with ginseng extract and with an independent anti-bacterial, dehumidifying, deodorising fan exclusive to LG fridges, LG’s Hygiene Fresh™ reduces dust, fungi-spore, bacteria, and odor through its 4 step filtration of active hygiene care.
The refrigerator sterilises 99.999 per cent of bacteria inside the fridge and this is certified by the United Kingdom’s trusted quality and safety provider Intertek.
