The winners have been announced for the 2007, Kitchen Innovation of the Year awards, and Liebherr has triumphed. The awards put on jointly by The German Federal Ministry of Economics & Technology, and the “Better Living” initiative, heighten consumer awareness of innovation and quality.

Based on a two-stage selection procedure a jury manned by experts from the kitchen and design sector identified the most innovative products for; technical function, safety, innovativeness, ergonomic function, ease of use, aesthetic function and finally design.

In a survey conducted by a market research institute, the consumers then singled out the 3 best products in each category that in turn receive a Gold, Silver or bronze award.

In the Electrical appliances (cooling) category, Liebherr’s build in ICBN 3066 fridge freezer was presented with a Gold award. On top of achieving first prize, Liebherr went on to claim a Silver award too, for the build in IKB 3454 larder fridge for the new and improved versatility of the interior fitments.

Both award-winning appliances are BioFresh models with a temperature just above 0°C and a relative, adjustable humidity between 45% and 90%. Many types of food can be kept fresh significantly longer than in a conventional refrigerator compartment. Furthermore, both appliances come with the SoftSystem to cushion movement when the door is closed, plus the door closes automatically from an angle of about 30°. The economical energy efficiency class A+ is achieved by combining state-of-the-art electronics with a highly efficient refrigeration system.
