NoFrost and A++ for all cabinet recesses: Generation K 30.000 freezers

Gütersloh/Rödinghausen, September 12, 2014 No. 126/2014

Ice-cool and brightly lit


They offer superb convenience thanks to NoFrost technology and LED lighting, boast an A++ energy efficiency rating across the board and can be installed stand-alone or side-by-side: the new K 30.000 freezer generation from Miele. These products expand Miele's portfolio of refrigeration products with models for all niche sizes and user needs.

The new built-in freezers with their elegant styling sport a design to match refrigerators and fridge-freezers from the K 30.000 range. This results in a harmonious design in a side-by-side combination in which a refrigerator and freezer stand next to each other - particularly with respect to the matching touch controls on both models. All key functions are directly accessible from the clear and concise controls. All others are selected from the display. 'This complies with the clear and intuitive user interface philosophy which Miele customers have come to cherish and rely on', says Verena Pohlmann, Head of Refrigeration Product Management at Miele. The touch controls were developed and are produced by Miele at its own electronics plant in Gütersloh.

These electronic controls allow all freezers with touch controls to be pre-equipped for Miele@home. A slot-in module allows the machine to communicate with other domestic appliances. A further benefit offered by these touch controls is an optical interface which can be used by service technicians to speed up trouble-shooting.

NoFrost technology prevents the formation of ice by circulating air, rendering manual defrosting superfluous. With the exception of a single entry-line model, all the new freezers boast this feature – an absolute speciality in 72 cm and 88 cm niches, particularly in conjunction with an A++ energy efficiency rating, as this combination of features represents a technical challenge which only Miele has mastered with flying colours.

The same models also feature LED interior lighting located along the upper edge of the unit below the controls. Light from the two LEDs is shed conveniently into the opened drawers and allows items in the drawers to be
identified at a glance even in a dark environment. The interior lighting pleasantly matches the FlexiLight glass-edge lighting used on Generation K 30.000 refrigerators. Matching and effective lighting is all the more important in a classic side-by-side refrigerator and freezer installation.

With offerings for 72, 88, 140 and 178 cm models, the Generation K 30.000 proves highly versatile and will feature 7 models to be introduced in autumn.
