New Bosch VitaFresh Refrigeration Technology Automatically Keeps Produce Fresher,
Longer
When Fruits and Vegetables Stay Fresh and Nutritious Longer, Americans Take Less
Trips to the Store; Keep More Green in their Refrigerators and Wallets
(New York, NY – June 30, 2010) – Bosch VitaFresh™ technology will have families
seeing more green inside their refrigerators – and in their wallets – as their fruits
and vegetables stay fresh longer than when using a conventional refrigerator.
Available in Bosch’s new French Door refrigerator, VitaFresh utilizes a food preservation
technology perfected by Bosch in Europe. A proprietary high-tech lining within the
VitaFresh drawers works with precise climate sensors to automatically maintain the
perfect balance of temperature, humidity, and air circulation – without the need
to adjust any confusing settings. This proven technology also preserves vitamins
and nutrients that would otherwise deteriorate, so food stays nutritious too.
“Bosch has conducted extensive research in Europe on the science of freshness. Based
on our findings, we’ve perfected VitaFresh technology so that fruits and vegetables
last longer. The results are incredible – with strawberries lasting up to five days,
and lettuce lasting up to fourteen days.” said Martin Knobloch, Senior Vice President,
Refrigeration, Bosch home appliances. “VitaFresh is like the fountain of youth for
produce.”
The ENERGY STAR®-qualified Bosch French Door refrigerator featuring VitaFresh technology
is now available with a MSRP of $2,999. For more information on VitaFresh go to:

About Bosch French Door Refrigerator with VitaFresh
VitaFresh Technology
While other refrigerators rely on the user to manually adjust temperature and humidity
settings when produce is added in the crisper drawer, VitaFresh automatically creates
the optimal storage environment. The result: fruits and vegetables stay crisp, healthy
and delicious, longer.
It’s not just the cold; it’s the humidity, too. VitaFresh technology is a two part
system that automatically maintains:
1. Ideal Temperature
- Sensors ensure the temperature is consistently at just above freezing, the ideal
level for optimized freshness and longer storage results
- The directional airflow system provides indirect cooling over the VitaFresh drawers.
This prevents dry, cold air from being blown directly against fruits and vegetables
and significantly reduces the dry-out effect that shortens storage life
2. Automatic Humidity Control
- Utilizing technology perfected by Bosch in Europe, a proprietary high-tech lining
regulates how much, or how little moisture is required for the type of produce stored
in the drawers to keep produce fresher, longer
