What does a refrigerator do?
It keeps food cold, right?
Sure, but keeping the food cold is ultimately about preserving it, locking in freshness so we can pour a cup of milk for our kids every morning of the week; so we can eat a piece of crisp, tasty fruit a week after we purchased it at the store.
Temperature, of course, plays a key role in food preservation, but there’s more to it than that. Luckily, Viking has thought through the science of food preservation from every angle and addressed each component of freshness, making the 48-inch Viking side by side refrigerator, VCSB5483, an impressive piece of scientific engineering.
Since temperature is the obvious component, we’ll start there. The Viking VCSB5483 features electronic controls that allow you to select an exact temperature, and the refrigerator promises to maintain that temperature within one degree Fahrenheit. If someone accidentally leaves the refrigerator or freezer door ajar, threatening the specified temperature inside, the refrigerator sounds an alarm to alert you.
Humidity is also a key driver of food freshness, and Viking refrigerators address this issue as well with the understanding that the optimal humidity for one type of food is not the same for another. The Viking VCSB5483 side by side refrigerator has two separate Humidity Zone drawers with adjustable humidity settings so you can keep your various produce crispy, juicy and flavorful.
Exclusive Viking Features
Because we eat such a variety of foods and store them all in close proximity in our refrigerators, odor is another important factor to consider in a refrigerator. No one wants to bite into an apple and taste last night’s leftover pizza. Viking prevents that with the exclusive trademarked Plasmacluster Ion Air Purifier. Unseen on any other refrigerator, the Plasmacluster purifier relies on advanced ion technology to tackle airborne bacteria, mold, and odors—not by filtering them out but by attacking the ions themselves. With no filter to change or clean, this purification system requires no maintenance. It does its job for the life of the refrigerator without any upkeep from you.
Keeping on with technological innovations, the Viking VCSB5483 has a Variable Speed DC Overdrive Compressor to chill food quickly and efficiently with one single compressor that is slated as one of the quietest and most advanced on the market.
Dust and dirt have long been a threat to refrigerator condensers, but Viking fights back with its trademarked Super Clog Resistant Condense that fends off dust without any help from you.
Not only does the Viking refrigerator perform its purpose superiorly and without any fuss, but it also goes out of its way to make things a little easier for you. Bright LED lights on the top and side walls make sure you can see easily into every shelf, corner, and bin. Spillproof Plus Shelves utilize Nano technology to contain leaks and spills, and the adjustable door bins are made from aluminum to store heavy items.
The refrigerator and freezer door also offer three adjustable stops at 90, 110, and 120 degrees.
The sleek stainless steel side by side refrigerator from Viking doesn’t just keep food cool. It combines the latest industry technology to offer spacious, reliable storage; lock in freshness; and minimize your effort.
