LG’S ECO-CONSCIOUS BOTTOM-FREEZER SHOWS OFF TOP-TIER ENERGY EFFICIENCY AT IFA 2022

With Freshness-Enhancing Technologies, and Efficiency, LG’s New Fridge Ready to Wow European Market

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest bottom-freezer refrigerator for the European market at IFA 2022. The new model delivers a more sustainable kitchen with LG’s energy-saving Inverter Linear Compressor™, an upgraded internal compartment and the company’s cutting-edge ‘freshness’ technologies, including LinearCooling™ and DoorCooling+™.

LG's new bottom freezer with top-tier energy efficiency

LG’s bottom-freezer fridge boasts an ‘A’ energy rating, the highest rating possible under the European Commission’s strict energy standards system.1 In order to earn the ‘A’ rating, LG improved the structure of the refrigerator’s condenser and heat exchanger, and enhanced the airflow path to achieve a more efficient and even delivery of cold air throughout the fridge.

LG’s new fridge also employs the incredibly efficient and highly durable Inverter Linear Compressor. Thanks to the company’s remarkable compressor, the bottom freezer offers a 10 percent reduction in annual energy consumption compared to other LG refrigerator models with an A energy rating – helping consumers to shrink their household energy footprint and save on electricity bills.2

Additionally, the high-performance, new model comes with LG’s freshness-enhancing technologies – LinearCooling and DoorCooling+. LinearCooling reduces temperature variations,3 which helps to keep food items fresh for longer period of time,4 while DoorCooling+ sends out cold air from the top of the refrigerator compartment to hard-to-reach areas like the front door basket.

For a convenient user experience, the new bottom freezer refrigerator can be remotely controlled and monitored via the LG ThinQ™ app for smartphones, letting users manage settings and check operational status from practically any location.

Further convenience is presented by the fridge’s 2-step Folding Shelf and Wine Rack, the former can fold away to accommodate larger items whenever needed, while the latter can hold up to five bottles of wine at once. What’s more, the new model provides an instant style upgrade with the application of LG’s Metal Fresh™ finish to its interior.

“The new bottom freezer fridge leverages LG’s state-of-the-art technologies to keep food market-fresh while also delivering superb energy efficiency and a host of user-friendly features,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “Designed with sustainability in mind, and to provide a better kitchen experience, our new refrigerator offers the performance, convenience and style that the European market demands.”

Visitors to LG’s booth (Hall 18, Messe Berlin) at IFA 2022 from September 2-6 will have the opportunity to check out the stunning bottom-freezer refrigerator in matte-black finish, along with a host of other innovations for a better life.

Lung function testing labs open in several hospitals across Kingdom

The Ministry of Health announced on Monday that lung function testing laboratories have recently opened in a number of hospitals across the Kingdom, primarily serving cystic fibrosis patients.

The laboratories, which the ministry asserted are critical for the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease, have been established at Princess Rahma Hospital, Princess Basma Teaching Hospital, Prince Hamza Hospital, AlBashir Hospital, and Karak Hospital.

In this context, Health Minister Firas Hawari patronized a ceremony on Monday celebrating the graduation of health professionals who had received training on lung function testing equipment.

The training was made available through a partnership between the ministry and the United States Agency for International Development-funded Quality Health Care project (USAID).

During the ceremony, which was attended by the Deputy Director of the USAID Mission in Jordan, Hawari pledged that the ministry will make every effort to provide the necessary drugs and modern laboratory solutions to diagnose cystic fibrosis and its genetic mutations through collaboration with a number of international bodies.

He stated that 24 ministry technicians were trained on the operation and use of the new pulmonary testing equipment, which can also perform endobronchial resistance assays on children under the age of six.

The ministry has put in place treatment protocols to ensure equal services for patients at all centers, according to the minister, who also stated that a national directive and technical committees have been formed to monitor cystic fibrosis cases.

The national committee, he added, has started prepping a record to count cystic fibrosis cases, where they live and receive treatment, and the type of their treatment.

Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails to go on hunger strike

More than 4,500 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails will this week stage a hunger strike and refuse to show up for so-called “security checks” to protest arbitrary measures by the prison authority.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club said in a statement today that the escalatory steps will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays for the next two weeks, ending up in a hunger strike involving prisoners from all Palestinian factions.

A committee, which was formed by the prisoners after Israel ordered punitive action following the “Freedom Tunnel” jailbreak, said it will respond after the prison administration reneged on pledges it made in March and declared it will take stringent action against prisoners with life sentences, including repeated transfers.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces staged dawn raids across about a dozen West Bank cities and arrested 19 Palestinians.

Man involved in fatal “festive firing” nabbed by police

A security force arrested a man, who fired shots into the air to celebrate General Secondary Certificate Examination (Tawjihi) results on Thursday, killing a young man in a northwestern Amman neighborhood.

Sahel Khattab was rushed to hospital on August 18 after he was struck by a stray bullet while walking down a public street in northwest Amman, but he later succumbed to his wounds.

According to a Public Security Directorate (PSD) spokesman, police investigators were able to zero in on a prime suspect by piecing together information from the scene of the incident and the surrounding area despite lack of evidence.

The investigators managed to identify the suspect following a grueling investigation that led to his arrest, and the weapon he used was recovered, the spokesman added.

After his arrest, the suspect admitted to firing the shots to celebrate his brother’s pass in the Tawjihi.

The spokesperson urged the public to refrain from “this phenomenon”, warning that those who engage in such behavior can no longer escape punishment.
