Fisher & Paykel is addressing consumers' increasing desire to maximize the use of purchased produce and minimize food waste with the introduction of their Series 9 74" Integrated Triple Zone Refrigerator. This innovative fridge introduces three independent cooling zones to offer more temperature control and flexibility. As such, each different area can be configured to best match the items being stored with regard to temperature and humidity.
There are three refrigeration modes to choose from, including: Chill (from 29 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit), Fridge (from 34 to 44 degrees Fahrenheit) and Pantry (from 52 to 56 degrees Fahrenheit)—and there are even more modes on offer with the Triple Zone Freezer. According to Fisher & Paykel, "Chill mode can extend the shelf life of red meat nearly three times longer than regular refrigerator settings."
