Curd Maestro™: Innovation for Everyday Home

Curd Maestro™ Refrigerators transcend the conventional refrigerator landscape in India beyond food storage and preservation. Curd Maestro™ addresses the complex, time taking, and tricky problems in curd making, which is an essential food ingredient in Indian households.

Using the Curd Maestro™, one needs to boil and cool the milk and mix the curd culture manually while Curd Maestro™ does the most crucial part of the job – fermentation. It will not only ferment the curd but will store it too.

Curd Maestro™ makes curd with the same consistency each time and eliminates all the hassle of curd making in different weather conditions. Curd Maestro™ enables curd preparation in 6.5 to 7.5 hours – 6.5 hours for soft curd, 7.5 hours for thick curd.

Convertible 5in1 Refrigerator

The Convertible 5in1 technology in Curd Maestro™ Refrigerators offers five conversion modes to take care of all your refrigeration needs – Normal, Seasonal, Extra Fridge, Vacation and Home Alone. The conversion modes are not only the perfect solution to different storage needs but every mode also saves energy.

Twin Cooling Plus™

Twin Cooling Plus™ Technology works as a truly independent cooling system, with separate airflows in both the fridge and freezer, preventing unpleasant smells from foods moving between the fridge and freezer. Two evaporators manage the fridge and freezer space separately to minimize temperature fluctuation and maintain a humidity level of up to 70%, leading to longer freshness and less wastage of food.

Digital Inverter Technology

Digital Inverter Technology ensures a sturdy performance with energy efficiency and less noise. Digital Inverter Compressor comes with a 10-year warranty and is also awarded a 21-year durability certification by the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies in Germany (Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker – VDE).

Stabilizer Free Operation

This feature helps protect the refrigerator from power fluctuations (Stabilizer Free Operation range: 100 ~ 300V). Stabilizer Free Operation keeps the refrigerator working steadily and reliably. If the voltage increases too much it automatically cuts the power to prevent electrical damage.
