Now more than ever, the technology within our appliances is what helps keep us safe and healthy. And with ABT Technology, that’s the case for both you and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be real, it is not just snacks that are stored in a fridge. Everything from vegetables to medicines need to be kept at the proper temperature. For families, a fridge serves as more than a cooling device, as it also needs to keep the contents within safe. Consider all the hands reaching for snacks daily, it can quickly fall prey to bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium refrigerators, like those in Haier’s Lumiere Series<\/a>, are equipped with Anti-Bacterial Technology, or ABT for short. How exactly does this work, and what should your family know about it? Don\u2019t worry, we will answer those questions in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is ABT (Anti-Bacterial Technology)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ABT makes sure the food environment around its registered refrigerators, like the Haier 4 door refrigerator, is clean, free from odor, and very gently gets rid of harmful bacteria. This makes sure the situation in the fridge won\u2019t be able to offer a perfect environment for bacteria to multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABT, or Anti-Bacterial Technology, works toward getting rid of around 99.99% of harmul bacteria or odors within the bounds of a refrigerator. Unlike normal filters which require change and cleaning, ABT is built with advanced sterilization technology. This allows it to continuously neutralize harmful microbes without any manual cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does ABT Technology Actually Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though the document lacks information on the precise technical workings, modern refrigerators still have ABT systems (including those for Haier) where UV light or ion diffusion is used for contact bacterial disinfection. The underlying processes are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Air Circulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The circulating air in the compartments is drawn through by the internal fan of the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Exposure to Sterilization<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air is passed through the ABT chamber where it undergoes UV light or ion sterilization. Bacteria\u2019s DNA is dismantled so they cannot multiply and become inactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Purified Air Recirculation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The refrigerator and freezer zones are filled with clean, bacteria free air which increases the freshness of food, significantly decreasing odours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your fridge would feel like having a hygienist permanently working in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the Importance of This For Indian Households?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Bacteria Love Hot and Humid Weather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Geographically speaking, households in India encounter high humid weather in places such as Kolkata, Chennai, and Mumbai. Warm air in conjunction with moisture creates the perfect condition for bacterial growth, especially within the veggie drawer and milk rack. ABT adds a layer of protection, ensuring that the air in your fridge stays clean even when contaminated by the surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. We Keep Different Food Items Together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Indian refrigerators are never empty and are often multitasking storage for paneer, pickles, mithai, and garlic chutneys. Many of the food items pack a strong odor which can be helpful ABT\u2019s odor control feature due to it preventing bacteria from destroying the refrigerator\u2019s freshness. It helps retain the cleanliness of the fridge even with complex food mixes storing strong smelling ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. More Traffic Equals More Joint Families<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

More people using a fridge increases the chances of contamination. With grandparents storing their ayurvedic medicines, teens getting juice boxes, and toddlers reaching for dahi, the hygiene level needs to be critical. ABT protects all members of the family by controlling the spread of microbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How ABT Supports Selected Areas of the Refrigerator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Haier\u2019s Lumiere Series provides smart zoning: refrigerator, freezer, and a Magic Convertible Zone that can change from -20\u00b0C to +5\u00b0C. ABT aids in maintaining freshness in all these areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Fridge Section (1\u00b0C to 9\u00b0C):<\/strong> prevents bacteria from developing on leafy greens and milk containers while maintaining the crispness of fruits and vegetables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Magic Convertible Zone: <\/strong>Whether it is extra dal makhani that needs freezing or drinks that require chilling, ABT gets the job done by preventing bacteria from growing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Freezer (-14\u00b0C to -24\u00b0C):<\/strong> Even within the cold, ABT neutralizes the risk of odour and bacteria cross-contamination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
