LG Electronics Unveils InstaView Refrigerator New Model with 'Enhanced Design and Hygiene' at CES 2021

LG Electronics will unveil a new LG InstaView refrigerator (domestic name: Knock-On Magic Space) with enhanced design and hygiene features at CES 2021.

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 28th that it will showcase a new LG InstaView refrigerator model with enhanced design and hygiene features at CES 2021, the world's largest IT and home appliance exhibition, opening on the 11th of next month (local time).

The InstaView refrigerator features an expanded application of the seamless InstaView (domestic name: Full Glass Knock-On) design. This design was first unveiled through LG Electronics' space interior appliance, the LG Objet Collection, released in October this year.

LG Electronics explained that to create a luxurious design, the entire upper right door with the knock-on function on the new product is finished with glass.

By using the knock-on function, knocking on the door turns on the interior light, allowing users to easily check the types and quantities of stored food, reducing the number of times the door is opened and closed, thereby minimizing cold air leakage from the refrigerator.

Following the top refrigerator and bottom freezer models, LG Electronics has also equipped the new French door refrigerator with the UVnano function. UVnano is a term combining UV LED and the nanometer (nm) wavelength unit of ultraviolet rays.

This function periodically uses UV (ultraviolet) LEDs to eliminate up to 99.99% of bacteria such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa that may be present in the water outlet. Customers can also press a button to perform additional sterilization. It has also been certified by the global testing and certification organization TUV Rheinland.

This product offers craft ice, spherical ice approximately 5 cm in diameter, on the top shelf of the left freezer compartment, and uses cubed and crushed ice from the dispenser on the front of the left door.

LG Electronics will also present the new InstaView refrigerator model, which was selected for the CES 2021 Best Innovation Award by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) in the United States.

This product features voice recognition functionality. When a user calls out "Hi LG!" in front of the refrigerator and says "Open the refrigerator door," the door automatically opens. Additionally, commands like "Set cold water" or "Set cubed ice" activate the corresponding functions.

Yoon Kyung-seok, Vice President and Head of the Kitchen Appliance Division at the H&A Business Division, said, "We will continue to lead the overseas premium refrigerator market by introducing the LG InstaView refrigerator, which combines differentiated design and hygiene functions tailored to customers' lifestyles."
