Maytag's
22 Series Refrigeration - With or Without Ice?
Maytag
UK is famous for its vast range of genuine American refrigeration.
Renowned for its stainless steel finishes, Maytag has set the benchmark
in design and aesthetics in this sector.
The stainless steel 'SOV' styling has flourished for over a decade and
there are no signs of it diminishing yet. 'Consumers have an insatiable
desire for American appliances especially those with a renowned and respected
aspirational pedigree like Maytag's. The addition of highly desirable
stainless steel finishes and SOV styling to the 'must-have' ice and water
dispenser have been the icing on the cake and has added to Maytag's phenomenal
success,' says Stuart Frost, Product Marketing Manager.
However, there is more to Maytag's refrigeration line-up than ice and
water dispensers; those without. Maytag continues to expand its product
strategy and address the demands of this emerging market. The next generation
of American refrigeration to be sought-after is the side-by-side, without
ice and water. Not only does this configuration offer a sleek and elegant
appearance, it offers an additional benefit of extra freezer space, normally
allocated to the icemaker.
Stuart Frost explains: 'The Maytag brand is enjoying its forth decade
in the UK and has generated a loyal and buoyant replacement market. Many
consumers have experienced the 'must-have' side-by-side, with the trend-setting
ice and water dispenser. However, many prefer the benefit of extra freezer
space delivered with this model variant. This adds another cubic foot
of storage capacity to the freezer.'
The Maytag SOV225PW sports distinctive fully clad, brushed stainless steel
doors and sides, enhanced by the addition of a 5cm top and doors with
tubular handles, to complement the European design trends today.
Maytag's Dual Cool technology means it delivers performance excellence
managed through touch controls for both the fridge and freezer. Its generous
22 cu.ft. capacity incorporates a raft of temperature and humidity zones
to store and maintain food in prime condition for longer, while the 4*
freezer delivers frost-free freezing to store frozen food perfectly and
to freeze down fresh food fast to maintain faultless texture and nutritional
value, and this, unusually applies to the door too. The refrigerator is
decked-out with spill proof, slide out tempered glass shelves, an elevator
shelf for maximising internal storage - everything on the shelf may be
moved without unloading or removing the shelf - and with adjustable humidity
crispers, temperature controlled drawers and beverage centre all add to
the SOV225PW's charms. And, of course, its shallow depth of just 600mm
makes for ease of installation in to the British kitchen.
For those who desire automatic ice making facility, an optional icemaker
is available and may be retrofitted at any time.

Franke
Caters for Adventurous Chefs with System 2
Franke
appliances are manufactured in Stainless Steel and are grouped together
into eight different Systems, each consisting of one hob, hood and oven.
The
Systems have been selected on aesthetics, containing those appliances
which complement each other and offering complete coordination in the
kitchen, particularly if teamed with a Franke sink and tap.
For the more adventurous cook, Franke has composed System 2. Featuring
the Design Chef Pyro, this System of appliances is perfect for would-be
professional chefs.
The Design Chef Pyro has a pyrolytic function which enables self-cleaning
of the oven, heating the interior to extreme temperatures in order to
burn off unwanted debris. Once the programme has finished, the remnants
can be simply wiped away to reveal a clean oven.
Quadruple glazing, which is another feature of the Design Chef Pryo, has
been developed specifically for the ultra-high temperatures achieved during
the pyrolytic programme and ensures the oven's glass door remains cool
to the touch.
Other aspects of the Design Chef Pyro are telescopic runners, an efficient
cooling fan and an advanced electronic thermostat to guarantee perfect
temperature regulation for excellent cooking of even the most delicate
foods.
The ideal accompaniment to the Design Chef Pyro is the Planar 90 hob.
It is perfect for the accomplished chef, with four gas burners and one
triple crown, integrated electronic ignition and cast iron pan supports
which are both stylish and functional.
The Chef hood, which completes this System, is high speed and low noise
and features continuous 24-hour ventilation, automatic cut-off timer and
digital display.
Whilst making strides in the appliance sector, Franke continues to be
an innovator in the development of sinks and taps.

DTI304J
65cm Four Zone Frameless Induction Hob
De
Dietrich's DTI304J frameless model fits into a standard 60cm
cavity and has four cooking zones which are all powered by independent
touch controls.
De Dietrich pioneered the development of induction technology in domestic
use, and is always introducing new features. Induction works by using
magnetic induction coils beneath the glass surface of the hob and when
a compatible pan is placed on the glass, it reacts with the inductor and
this produces heat. An induction hob is almost twice the speed of gas,
yet is 90% energy efficient, far more than any other type of hob. It is
the most controllable type of hob offering the most precise source of
heat available for cooking.
This 65cm DTI304J frameless model fits into a standard 60cm cavity and
has four cooking zones which are all powered by independent touch controls.
Each zone features a separate 99-minute timer to control the time to stop
cooking. Each zone has 15 power levels and three direct access levels
as well as a boost function where, by a single touch of the controls,
maximum power is reached; ideal for sealing meat.
As always, safety is paramount with De Dietrich products and each induction
hob comes with seven safety functions: anti overheat, anti overflow, automatic
pan detection, small object detection, child lock, residual heat indicator
and automatic stop.
Also available with black ‘pedestal’ frame DTI304B.
