LIEBHERR’S NEW REFRIGERATION MODELS REMAIN IN
LINE WITH CONSUMERS’ LIFESTYLE
Liebherr Introduces First Fully Integrated 30” Units at 2012 Architectural Digest Home Design Show
Burlington, Ontario, March 22, 2012 -- Liebherr Refrigeration North America, the worldwide leader in
environmentally responsible refrigeration, is launching the 1500 series, its first fully integrated 30” single
door refrigerator-freezer combination.
The HCB 1560 features Liebherr’s patented BioFresh technology in separate compartments where
temperatures are kept just above freezing—keeping fruits, vegetables, fish and meats at an optimum
humidity level, allowing them to stay fresh up to three times longer than in traditional refrigerators.
Perfect for condo or apartment living, the HC 1540 model does not require a water connection for the
IceMaker thanks to a well-appointed 1.5-liter internal water tank that is conveniently removable for
replenishing water used to produce ice cubes.
Both the HCB 1560 and HC 1540 can be concealed behind cabinetry or stainless steel, giving designers
flexibility and the homeowner ideal food storage conditions. These 30” models also offer the possibility
of custom design with flush 24”deep cabinet installation, a feature not available in competing units.
“We’re very excited to introduce Liebherr’s first fully integrated 30” models,” said Thorsten Platt, Vice
President of Liebherr Refrigeration North America. “As the current trend of fully customizing kitchens is
extremely popular in home renovations, it was important for Liebherr to provide consumers with
compact, yet efficient, appliances that fit within their kitchen’s design.”
Liebherr’s HCB 1560 and HC 1540 can be found at the Almo Specialty Products booths # 262, 263, 267.
Both units are ENERGY STAR rated and will be available at fine and specialty appliance retailers across
the U.S. and Canada beginning April 2012 with a manufacturer suggested retail price of $5,479 USD for
the HCB 1560 and $4,869 USD for the HC 1540.
Consumers and members of the design trade can find an authorized Liebherr retailer by visiting the
Refrigerators & Freezers section on www.liebherr-appliances.com and clicking on the ‘Dealer Locator’
tab in the Resource Center.
