More. Usable. Space.
As you've been shopping for a new french door refrigerator, you've probably noticed a couple of things. First, models with a built-in ice and water dispenser position the ice-cube bin inside the refrigerator compartment, monopolizing potential shelf space. Second, the capacity offered by most models tops out at around 25 cu. ft. But what if you could have both more space and more usable space at your disposal? Enter the GI7FVCXWY from Whirlpool. For starters, this french door fridge's incredible 27.0 cu. ft. total storage capacity includes an enormous 20.0 cu. ft. in the refrigerator compartment. Combining with Spill Guard shelves, dual humidity-controlled crisper bins, a full-width deli drawer, and six door bins, this fridge offers no shortage of space and versatile storage options. Further, by integrating the ice bin into one of the refrigerator compartment's doors, the GI7FVCXWY frees up enough space for an additional half-width shelf, in comparison with similar french door models. Turning to the freezer, the drawer-style freezer slides smoothly open and its two half-width sliding bins provide a second level of storage. Just what your ordered: More. Usable. Space.
Ounces, cups, liters . . . all at the touch of a finger
Sure, these days, a fair number of refrigerators offer built-in ice and water dispensers. But believe us, not all dispensing systems are created equal. Take the ice and water system offered by the GI7FVCXWY refrigerator, for example. To kick things off, this french door refrigerator's dispenser offers measured-fill functionality, allowing you to dispense the exact amount of water you need, whether in ounces, cups, or liters . . . perfect for successfully preparing the same recipes time and again. Add to that a touchscreen LCD interface that offers simple, fast control of the dispenser and the fridge's temperature settings, and you have a sophisticated dispenser design. And that's just the beginning! First, the water spout rotates outward to accommodate large pots and pitchers. Second, the ice and water dispenser is mounted on the fridge's exterior and features a stainless steel construction that's more durable and more stylish than the plastic wraps offered by other fridges. Third, the dispenser serves up chilled water and small cubes of ice that are much less cumbersome in your glass that conventional crescent-shaped ice cubes. Fourth, the ice bucket is removable, making it easy to port fresh ice out to the backyard barbeque. Finally, a PUR water-filtration system delivers clean, delicious drinking water. Like we said: this is not your ordinary ice and water dispenser.
An idea that sticks
Maintaining order in your refrigerator's door bins can be a bit of a challenge. Let's say you're doing something simple like preparing burgers for dinner. You're setting the table and you pull the ketchup, mayo, and mustard bottles out of the fridge's tightly packed door bins. Later, when you're cleaning up, you go to return the condiments to their place, only to find that a bottle of hot sauce has fallen down into the void left by the absent condiment bottles. This happens a lot . . . too often, in fact. Given the smooth plastic bottoms in most fridge's door bins, glass and plastic bottles are always sliding and toppling down. Well, until now, anyhow. The Whirlpool GI7FVCXWY includes two blue, no-slip mats that you can place in two of the fridge's door bins, ensuring that the items in those bins stay stable and upright. Truly an idea that sticks.
Hey, style is important, too
Few people consider investing in stainless steel, french door refrigerator if they aren't looking to add a little functionality and class to their kitchen. While a stainless steel cosmetic lends any kitchen a clean, professional look, some stainless steel fridges are designed with a side panels that are painted black, creating an undesirable contrast with the stainless steel front. Avoiding this serious faux pas, Whirlpool has designed the GI7FVCXWY with side panels that are painted gray, allowing them to blend seamlessly with the steel facade. Further, for an even more modern, integrated look, this french door fridge sports hidden hinges.
En guarde against spills
It's the morning after the big holiday meal, which you bravely hosted at your house this year. It's 7:24 a.m. Bleary-eyed and something short of alert, you make your way into the kitchen, place a kettle on the stove, and then go to the fridge for a spot of bread and jam. On autopilot, you pop the refrigerator door open and reach for the exact spot you expect the jar of orange marmalade to be in. You have, however, forgotten about the precarious arrangement of leftovers, gingerly balancing atop shelf after shelf since the night before. Suddenly, like some congealed, plastic-wrapped incarnation of dominoes, this glass and porcelain house of cards has been razed, and now gravies, dips, dressings, and sauces are oozing, dripping, pouring from haphazardly tumbled platters and bowls. Oh the mess! Oh the audacity of inanimate objects! Wait. What mess? You have the GI7FVCXWY refrigerator with four, half-width, adjustable SpillGuard shelves. These shelves are specially designed to contain liquids, thereby preventing spills on one shelf from leaking onto lower shelves, and ultimately simplifying cleanup.
A little TLC for your veggies
In order to maintain their freshness, and therefore, their scrumptiousness, your fruits and vegetables need a little TLC. Further, each has slightly different needs for staying crisp and tasty. Vegetables, for example, tend to stay fresher in high-humidity environments, while fruits prefer low-humidity climes. The Whirlpool GI7FVCXWY knows this, and as a result includes two adjustable-humidity crisper drawers that keep your produce perfectly palatable.
The Adaptive Defrost System
Refrigerators operate on the simple principle that storing your food at low temperatures inhibits spoilage. It stands to reason, then, that maintaining a consistent temperature within the refrigerator and freezer compartments is essential to successful food preservation. While opening and closing a refrigerator door can cause temperature fluctuations, one of the biggest culprits affecting a fridge's temperature level is the unit's defrost system. Automatic defrost systems must raise the unit's internal temperature to melt away any accumulated frost, thereby periodically imperiling your food's freshness. Whirlpool's GI7FVCXWY, however, has taken specific measures to minimize the need for defrost cycles. The GI7FVCXWY's Adaptive Defrost System monitors compressor run-times and evaporator heater operation times, ultimately requiring fewer defrost cycles. As a result, this french door refrigerator is able to achieve improved food preservation and energy efficiency.
ENERGY STAR efficiency
Seeking to meet your demand to reduce energy use and preserve the environment, Whirlpool has made sure that the GI7FVCXWY meets the U.S. government's standard for ENERGY STAR qualification. What does the ENERGY STAR qualification mean? ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. For the family or homeowner, energy efficient choices can reduce energy consumption and expenses by up to one third while resulting in similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice. When a product boasts the ENERGY STAR qualification, this means the product meets stringent government standards set by the EPA and US Department of Energy for conserving both energy and the environment. So whether you are concerned for the environment, your pocket book or both, this appliance helps ensure both are given an easier load to bear.
