SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE INTRODUCES ADVANCED UNDERCOUNTER WINE REFRIGERATOR Innovative luxury appliance brand brings unique 'wine cave' technology, best-in-class preservation features to undercounter wine refrigerators Signature Kitchen Suite, driving innovation in the luxury, built-in kitchen appliance market, expanded its award-winning line of wine column refrigerators with an advanced new undercounter model, at this year's virtual 2021 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). Unique to Signature Kitchen Suite's wine refrigerators is Wine Cave Technology™ which minimizes vibration, temperature fluctuations, limits light exposure and optimizes humidity, protecting collections from wine's most damaging elements. This technology mimics the ideal environment of historic old-world wine caves, like those located near Signature Kitchen Suite's Experience & Design Center in the heart of Napa Valley, Calif. This award-winning facility highlights the intersection of technology and culinary innovation for the new generation of Technicurean™ food and wine aficionados. The new 24-inch panel-ready undercounter wine refrigerator holds 41 bottles of wine with unique features that make it the perfect place to maintain at-home collections: • Wine Cave Technology: Ingeniously engineered with an emphasis on providing a cavelike environment, Signature Kitchen Suite's exclusive design protects collections against vibration, light and variations in temperature and humidity. • Precise Preservation with Minimum Vibration: The smart inverter compressor developed by global home appliance innovator LG Electronics minimizes the vibration as well as temperature fluctuations, keeping wine collections cool and still. Dual evaporators also help maintain an ideal preservation environment. • Superior Light and Humidity Control: Dark-tinted, triple-pane glass protects wine from damaging UV light, while humidity control boosts humidity to optimal levels, helping to preserve quality and taste. • Independent Temperature Zones: Red, white and sparkling wines have their own temperature needs, and this refrigerator features two independent temperature zones to keep wines at the right temperature for optimal mouthfeel, aromas and flavor. The zones can be set between 41 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure ideal conditions for any wine variety or varietal. • Signature Sommelier™ App and Wi-Fi Connectivity: Signature Kitchen Suite's proprietary app helps wine collectors manage their personal wine collections with photos of labels, noting shelf placement. Powered by Wine Ring's patented machine learning, this mobile app is the first smart software that learns preferences and makes recommendations, including food and wine pairings, for individuals and groups based on the wines stored in the user's cellar. • Unfinished Wood Shelves: Beyond sliding smoothly, the refrigerator shelves take things a step further by featuring unfinished beech wood to eliminate any possibility of oils or other wood byproducts altering the purity of the wine. • Signature Fit™ Integrated Design: The wine refrigerator features an intelligent, versatile design that allows for proud or flush installation, along with easy door reversal. Units are available in stainless steel and panel-ready options. I N D U S T R Y [ N E W S ]
