Catalytic Fan Assisted Single Oven
Fagor
says that its 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 excellent levels
of technology, quality and design.
As part of its contemporary ovens range, Fagor offers a highly specified
'A' rated stainless steel single multifunction oven which has 6 cooking
programmes: conventional heat, bottom heat with fan, slow cook grill,
fast cook grill, grill plus fan and fan assisted cooking. It features
illuminated fixed control knobs and has a double glazed safety door for
protection, which remains cool to the touch. It also has a handy minute
minder with warning beeper.

shelves which are designed to reduce spillages and also minimise the reduction
of heat from the oven, when basting food.

can withstand very high temperatures. The oven also benefits from removable
and reversible catalytic liners which oxidise grease and fumes while cooking,
which results in a clean and fresh smelling oven at the end of cooking
time.

Flexibility
and Performance from Stoves Integrated Dishwashers
Stoves
has added two dishwashers to its range of non-cooking appliances. The
integrated appliances are designed to be concealed behind cupboard doors,

is limited. However, despite its slim-line format it has capacity for
eight place settings and offers five wash programmes and four temperature
settings.
Alternatively,
with seven wash programmes, five temperature settings, 12 place settings

A
range cooker is the height of luxury in cooking terms for any home-owner,
but many kitchens simply do not have the space to house such a large product.
Caple has found a solution to this
problem in the form of the CR7200, a 70cm wide range cooker.
At
903-908mm tall and 600mm deep, the cooker slots inbetween kitchen furniture
units perfectly. There are also 70cm width splashbacks and extractor hoods
to match.
The CR7200 has two electric ovens and a five burner gas hob. The main
oven is rated energy class B and has a 53 litre capacity with a fan heat
cooking function. The main oven also features a side opening door, programmable
electronic timer and two shelves with support racks, plus an enamelled
baking tray. Self cleaning catalytic liners are also available for the
main oven to keep maintenance to a minimum.
The small oven is rated energy class A and has a 35 litre capacity with
conventional heat cooking and closed door grilling, with a grill pan with
handles included. The small oven also features a shelf with support racks.
The hob features one triple ring burner with wok support, one rapid burner,
two semi rapid burners and one simmer burner. Each burner features a cast
iron pan support and auto electronic ignition. LPG jets are also included
for use with bottled Liquid Petroleum Gas.
The CR7200 is clad in stainless steel and for easy cleaning, the surface
of the front panel and doors is fingerprint-proof. The doors are double
glazed with heat reflective glass, to conserve energy and maximise effectiveness.
A cooling fan speeds up the time for the control panel and doors to cool
down after use.

Gorenje
Launches New Expanded 'Built-In' Kitchen Range
Gorenje,
the Slovenian kitchen appliance manufacturer, has launched its updated
and expanded 'Built-In' range of quality kitchen appliances.
With a host of new models to enhance the already comprehensive line-up,
Gorenje is building on the reputation for high quality, great design and
good value that it already enjoys in other parts of the world.
The
new built-in appliances will be distributed through Gorenje's network
of nearly 1,000 retailers in the UK and Ireland.
The range includes ovens, hoods, hobs, integrated fridges and freezers,
integrated dishwashers, washing machine & washer dryer, a microwave,
a coffee maker, a wine store and a drinks chiller.
The top of the built-in range is a series of appliances designed by legendary
Italian Ferrari supercar designer studio Pininfarina, which takes crisp
modern styling to a new level of artistry. Launched at the end of 2005,
the exclusive Gorenje Pininfarina range (comprising one 'fridge-freezer,
two ovens, a hood and a choice of 5 hobs, as well as matching panels to
bring the Pininfarina look to existing appliances) is already proving
a big hit amongst kitchen designers, top-end developers and discerning
consumers.
Among many new appliances you can also find a steam insert that instantly
converts any of Gorenje's single ovens into a steam oven.
The emphasis of the new range is very much on environmentally friendly,
energy efficient appliances, with almost the entire range boasting an
A or A+ energy rating.
Most Gorenje Built-In products now come with a free five-year parts and
labour guarantee, which highlights Gorenje's confidence in the quality
and reliability of its products.
Cooking
The new built-in range includes some new and updated features. For example,
all of Gorenje's single ovens include the state-of-the-art enamel interior
and AquaClean technology by which the appliance is cleaned by simply adding
water.
The B9000E features a touch control screen, personalised cooking programmes
and a built-in mechanism to alert the user when the food is cooked. Triple
glazed doors are also a recurring theme, offering improved energy efficiency
as well as even safer cooking.
In
Gorenje's portfolio of hobs, the newly-launched EIK695C offers a 4-burner
hob that is a hybrid of induction and Hi-Light technology.
The hob range also includes ceramic models as well as more traditional
gas and electric hobs. The new GCSW310SC offers a single wok burner on
glass, which is just what many consumers are after to improve their cooking
repertoire.
There are two new island hoods, bringing the range up to 8. All are finished
in attractive stainless steel and, thanks to Gorenje's innovative technology,
are quiet, efficient and easy to clean.
Refrigeration
Gorenje's built-in, integrated 'fridges, freezers and 'fridge-freezers
are now all A energy rated or better. Selected models have been updated
to include anti-bacterial linings, aesthetically-pleasing blue interiors
and lower running costs, with a wide range of sizes and styles are available.
Laundry
Integrated, built-in laundry appears in Gorenje's product portfolio for
the first time this summer.
The WI62112 washing machine and WDI62112, Gorenje's first washer-dryer,
are both fully integrated and include all of Gorenje's usual smart features
- safety mechanisms, Carbo tech and shower systems, 6 kg loads and extremely
efficient washing performance, saving energy, detergent and water.
Bill Miller, Gorenje UK's Sales Director, says, ‘The augmented range
comes at just the right time as we are stepping up our sales drive in
the UK. This is a very exciting phase of the company's growth and development
in this country.’
Established more than 55 years ago, Gorenje is one of Europe's leading
domestic appliance manufacturers, combining the latest technology with
fantastic good looks and great value. A heritage brand in much of Central
and Southern Europe, the Gorenje brand spread its wings across the Channel
just four years ago, but has already set new standards in quality and
efficiency, benefiting retailers and consumers alike.
Nearly three-and-a-half-million Gorenje appliances are sold every year
in 60 countries worldwide with the company now employing around 10,000
globally.

The
latest addition to the long-standing Baby Belling range of compact and

Dinos Vassiloulis, assistant product manager for Glen Dimplex Home Appliances,
comments: ‘The appeal of induction hobs lies in their speed, control,
safety and ease of cleaning. Baby Belling's Pronto makes this form of
cooking more accessible for consumers; and retailers who take on board
its benefits and communicate them to customers will undoubtedly see increased

Introducing
Baumatic's New Built-in Oven with Integral Turntable
Fan
cooking has long been appreciated for its ability to ensure even heat
distribution within ovens - thus producing faster and more perfectly cooked
food.
Baumatic says that even heat distribution just got even more
precise with the addition of an integral turntable to the company’s
new B240 built-in oven, which keeps the food moving as well as the air.
As well as this feature, the high specification B240 has nine cooking
functions, including three fan options, which gives the choice of where
the fan-distributed heat is sourced - from the top, bottom or throughout
the cavity, thus further maximising the precise control of heat in this
new oven.
It is A-rated for energy and has a capacity of 59 litres.
The B240 is finished in stainless steel, with full LED programmer and
removable roof liner for easy cleaning.
