When Liebherr introduced BioFresh technology in 1996, it was hailed as a breakthrough innovation in refrigeration. Today, we’re still the leader in food preservation. The premise is simple: by creating different climates within your refrigerator, foods retain their healthy vitamins, aromas and appetising appearance for significantly longer than in conventional refrigerators. The BioFresh system features drawers with independent climate controls, so you can create a high-humidity HydroSafe environment for fruits and veggies in one drawer, and a low-humidity DrySafe for meats and cheeses in another. Or use the same setting for each, as your storage needs require. And Monolith’s third drawer goes one step further with BioFresh-Plus, capable of temperatures as low as –2°C, ideal for preserving fresh fish and seafood.

Every Monolith refrigerator is fitted with FlexSystem, a simple-to-use flexible organisation system for sorting and separating items stored in whichever BioFresh bin you prefer. Overhead InfinityBeam lighting shines a brilliant column of light in front of all of your BioFresh drawers, making it easy to see everything inside while closed, and brilliantly illuminating them when opened.

At Liebherr, everything we do is designed to maximise utility and efficiency. That’s why Monolith is a showcase for our high-performance PowerCooling system. In addition to including our exclusive SuperCool and SuperFrost rapid cooldown features, we’ve reinvented the interior of the Monolith to allow cold air to circulate behind the door. Which means items stored in the door stay just as cold as everything else in the refrigerator. The FreshAir activated charcoal filter system eliminates odours and purifies incoming air, so everything smells as fresh as it looks.

While Monolith features the most advanced technology the industry has ever seen, everything about it is designed to be simple and effortless to use. So effortless, in fact, that you barely have to lift a finger to control every function. Monolith’s intuitive electronic touch-control panel features a full-colour 2.4-inch touch and swipe screen that’s bright, clean and wonderfully user-friendly. Like all good design, it’s a beautiful testament to the idea that less is, indeed, more.

Whoever said beauty is more than skin deep could easily have been referring to Monolith by Liebherr. Because beyond its sleek, European persona lies a veritable sensory experience beginning with seamlessly integrated LED side lighting. Monolith’s controllable InfinityLight casts beautiful and even side lighting that can be fine-tuned according to personal taste, including a soft brightening effect upon opening the doors and a pleasing night dimming feature. InfinityLight doesn’t just add drama and flair, it also emits less heat, preserving food quality. And because LEDs are up to 80% more efficient than traditional lighting, Monolith will help you save you money while preserving the environment.

Two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water, but your refrigerator door shouldn’t be. Monolith is fitted with InfinitySpring, a seamlessly integrated, flush-mounted internal water dispenser that’s there when you need it, and virtually invisible when you don’t. Better still, it’s designed to accommodate glassware of any size. Liebherr’s filtration system eliminates harmful contaminates, resulting in crisp, clear, fresh tasting water.

Monolith’s automatic IceMaker is a crowd pleaser in itself, producing 1.6 kg of filtered ice in 24 hours. Activate the SuperFrost function for an even greater production capability. With a 1.8 kg storage capacity, you’ll never be without.

Monolith’s whisper-quiet operation will amaze you, but don’t mistake silence for weakness. As a company with engineering at its heart, every touchpoint conveys a sense of quality and strength. Depending on which size Monolith you choose, the door hinges are rated for up to 36 kg. Chances are, you’ll never test their limits, but you can feel confident knowing the door panels can support any application. The hinges allow for an opening angle of 115º, and will self-close from an angle of 30º. And Monolith’s integrated SoftSystem technology allows the doors to close effortlessly, with no slamming to disturb the peace during a midnight snack run.

Every Monolith refrigerator is fitted with FlexSystem, a simple-to-use flexible organisation system for sorting and separating items stored in whichever BioFresh bin you prefer. Overhead InfinityBeam lighting shines a brilliant column of light in front of all of your BioFresh drawers, making it easy to see everything inside while closed, and brilliantly illuminating them when opened.

Monolith’s durable and elegant door shelves provide more capacity and convenience. Store the largest bottles and cartons of milk or juice in the door, freeing up the refrigerator’s interior shelves for everything from party platters to fresh salad bowls. And because height adjustable shelves in both the interior and the doors provide more storage options inside Monolith, you can get even more out of it.

Every year, thousands of tons of food are lost due to freezer burn, temperature fluctuations and other food storage issues. But with Monolith’s FrostSafe system, airtight removable freezer drawers protect frozen food from unwanted air exchange and chilled air loss even when the door is opened. FrostSafe drawers are also generously deep and transparent, providing an optimum view of what’s stored within.
