Family
Sized Refrigeration from Bosch
The
Bosch Logixx KSR 38430 GB 185cm high
fridge and matching Frost Free freezer is a good solution for family sized
storage. Food is a major monthly cost for most families, so it's worth
investing in appliances that are going to keep your food fresh and nutritious
for as long as possible. Both appliances are A+ energy rated, offer the
very latest in cooling technology with precise electronic controls and
have high quality interiors. They look good too with the Bosch High Door
design.
There's ample storage for everything in the fridge, including seven anti
spill safety glass shelves, a large deli drawer and a humidity controlled
compartment to provide optimum storage conditions for fresh fruit and
vegetables. A bottle rack that accommodates up to six wine/drinks bottles,
a covered dairy compartment, two egg racks plus variable door accessories
mean nothing will be a squeeze.
A new auto defrost system prevents the ice build up that can accumulate
in a fridge as well as the freezer and the anti-bacterial lining made
of natural materials prevents the growth of bacteria for optimum family
food safety.
The Logixx Frost Free freezer (GSN 32A20GB) is equally spacious with transparent
freezer drawers, a shallow freezer tray for freezer packs, ice and berries
plus a 'Big Box' for extra large items. The frost free system eliminates
the formation of ice on food and the freezer interior, meaning you never
have to worry about defrosting again. 'Intelligent' electronics ensure
that the defrost operation is only initiated when the appliance actually
needs it.
There's also the option of joining these two appliances together with
a special joining strip to make an affordable and spacious alternative
to an American style fridge-freezer.

IceKing

the company's own branded range, IceKing.
The
DM22 brings the number of products under the brand to 14, divided into
4 classes: CLM A++ energy rated, CLM A+ energy rated, DM and CH, covering
different sizes and energy ratings.
The
company says that the 'DM' range of economy chest freezers offers considerable
savings, thanks to large internal capacities in relation to body sizes.
These efficient chest freezers are suitable for customers who need that
little bit of extra freezing capacity and flexibility of space.
The DM22
This 4 star, B energy rated freezer has a 6.22 cu. ft/176 litre gross
capacity, adjustable thermostat, fast freeze mode, two durable storage
baskets and is of course CFC-free. Its dimensions are (h/w/d) 94.90 x
75.94 x 69.85 cm.
D.A.D only supplies chest freezers to independents and regional multiples
and says that it is therefore able to offer less competition from large
multiples and greater margins for its stockists.
Sales of IceKing have risen rapidly, with the company experiencing an
increase of 20% year on year. Over 600 independent retailers now stock
the brand.

Kuppersbusch
Launches New Ceramic Wok Hob
German
kitchen appliance manufacturer, Kuppersbusch
has recently launched a range of new products.

in the line up of new products is the EKEW 957.0F ceramic wok hob. The
built-in glass ceramic hob, with a central wok cooking zone surrounded

and avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

LFU65
IT1 X Fully Integrated Duo Zone Dishwasher
Fagor appliances are contemporary
and friendly to the environment. Aimed at a young, mid market audience,
Fagor provides wide ranging and accessible built - in and freestanding
products offering good levels of technology, quality and design.
The
fully integrated Fagor LFU65 IT1 X is a dishwasher that provides premium
technologies in an affordable and attractive package. It is an AA rated,
intelligent dishwasher that has 12 place settings and 6 easy to use wash
programmes; pre wash, normal, intensive, eco, delicate and quick wash.
It has a special option to optimise performance using 3-in-1 tablets;
however it can be used with all types of detergent and has special salt
and rinse aid controls. The improved stainless steel cavity is made from
the latest generation water and rust resistant materials that offer better
performance in the long term, and Aqua Stop Safety ensures the dishwasher
will never overflow. The door opening mechanism easily adjusts to the
weight of the front panel so it will always open with smooth and gradual
movement.
However, the beauty of this 47db (A) machine is its split load Duo Zone
function. This is an economical option where the user can wash up to six
place settings using only the top or bottom basket; the top basket providing
gentler results, and the lower rack for a more intensive wash. This optimises
water consumption and the Duo Zone function can be performed across all
wash programmes. A.I.S. (advanced intelligence system) is where the dishwasher
will offer self diagnostic troubleshooting assistance, via a series of
audible warnings, thus allowing easier maintenance.
The interior of the machine has a height adjustable basket to allow for
larger plates underneath. The lower basket, with fold down supports, allows
pans and bulkier cooking items to be easily placed within, and has two
removable cutlery holders. Both baskets are on telescopic runners, which
result in completely smooth opening and closing, as well as full stability
even when the baskets are fully extended.

GDHA
Unveils All-New Lec Domestic Refrigeration Range
Glen
Dimplex Home Appliances recently pulled back the covers on
it's new range of Lec domestic refrigeration appliances. With a fresh
new logo and a sleek new look, the all-new Lec range is packed with the
features and touches that the company says are guaranteed to appeal to
retailers and consumers alike.
Whether
it's capacity and durability for a busy family home that's required, compact
dimensions for a studio flat or style and elegance for a modern apartment,
there's now a Lec product to suit. Frost free technology features in products
throughout the range, plus, for the first time, Lec now has products for
60cm under counter and built-in customers.
Externally, the new range benefits from a sleek and attractive aesthetic.
Featuring curved doors and external door handles, the look was heavily
influenced by the findings of Lec's extensive customer trails during the
development phase. All appliances also feature reversible doors, giving
customers the option to place two products side by side, and by sharing
a uniform look, customers can mix and match from across the range without
compromising on style.
Inside, the company says that Lec features the attention to detail usually
expected of products costing twice the price: adjustable safety glass
shelves, transparent salad and freezer drawers, adjustable door furniture
and, in the higher specification products, removable wine racks. Changing
eating habits demand flexible storage options, and with Lec, this is now
assured.
The range comes under three main product groupings, making it simple for
retailers and customers alike to distinguish between products.
Glace are high quality single door products designed to complement
any kitchen without breaking the bank. Available in under or above counter
configurations and as a refrigerator, larder fridge or freezer, Glace
caters for anyone looking for a stylish and practical cooling product
at an affordable price.
Crystalline are combination fridge freezers designed and specified
with the busy family in mind. The practical design and specification makes
day-to-day use and cleaning a cinch, and the inclusion of frost free models
is a welcome addition for those who want a truly maintenance free product.
Serene caters for the increasingly popular 60cm width under counter
market, and in addition to the usual Lec features, the range includes
silver exterior handles, with corresponding silver trim to the safety
glass shelves and chrome trims to the door furniture.
In addition, a built-in larder fridge and freezer have been added to the
Lec portfolio, providing a compelling offer for any customer seeking a
fully integrated product.
Finally, five chest freezers ensure that Lec caters for all the most popular
size and specification configurations, and a range of drinks fridges ensures
that retailers catering for this increasingly popular second appliance
market have a corresponding offering.
Denver Hewlett, chief executive of Glen Dimplex Home Appliances comments:
‘Lec is great brand and one which commands much affection in the
white goods market. Today is the culmination of a tremendous amount of
hard work by a dedicated team of GDHA people and I am proud to say that
Lec is back! In developing this new range, we have strived to remain true
to Lec's brand values whilst bringing the product up to date. We've listened
to our customers and the result is this new range, which combines the
best in style and performance with the right product for every lifestyle.
GDHA has an unrivalled reputation for turning around the fortunes of great
cooking brands, and with the unveiling of this new range, I am confident
our reputation for turning around a great cooling brand will be established.’
Commercially, Lec now benefits from it's own dedicated sales team, led
by industry veteran, Robin Tillbrook, and a dedicated marketing function
at GDHA's Prescot, Merseyside head office.
In addition, Lec has also now been integrated into GDHA's award winning
customer services opertation, with a dedicated team assigned to handling
Lec customer queries.

Baumatic
says that its new Pytagora P90ss hob offers all the versatility that a
hobby chef could need.
Finished in stainless steel and measuring a whopping 90cm in width, this
5 ring cooking giant can accommodate even the largest saucepans.

each burner.

New
AEG-Electrolux Maxima Induction Hob 78001KF
The
new AEG-Electrolux Maxima Induction
Hob 78001KF has recently been introduced. The company says that this hob
has the largest induction area on the market which means there are no
'zone' restrictions, so what ever size or number of pots you have they
can be used.
Sleek design with bevelled edges on all four sides offers an elegant finish
whilst the induction cooking ensures that food is cooked speedily and
evenly.
Induction
The latest technology in hob cooking: safe, controllable and responsive
while optimising energy efficiency.
Maxima uses an electromagnetic coil beneath the cooking sections to create
an induction field which heats the contents of the pan on the hob. The
heat is generated inside the pot therefore the hob surface remains cool.
That is why it is so safe.
Dawn Stockell, Marketing Manager at Electrolux comments, ‘Induction
cooking means cooking in an even and responsive way whilst giving the
chef the flexibility of immediate adjustment of the setting: nothing need
ever boil over! The induction hob only operates when the pan is on. In
other words - it detects the pan and responds accordingly: when the pan
is on, the hob is on. When the pan is off, the hob is off - and this of
course saves energy!’
