Don’t
Be Left on the Shelf - Whirlpool Launches 90cm Cooling Drawer
Whirlpool's
new double refrigeration drawers offer an alternative to traditional upright
fridges. The 90cm wide appliance allows you to store items with ease and
the layout means groceries are less likely to spoil as they are not tucked
away in separate sections.
British shoppers throw out 30% of all the food they buy[1] and this can
often be because ingredients are hidden from view by other items in the
fridge. The cooling drawers mean you can see all your food in an instant
thanks to the spacious open draw design, ensuring you never forget what
ingredients you have available, to help you create mouth-watering meals
night after night.
Key Features:
The 90cm wide horizontal layout and space management system allows you
to load your food easily, whilst the removable trays, bottle basket and
glass separators mean that you can customise the drawers to suit your
own needs and individual style.
Whirlpool’s 6th Sense sensor technology restores temperature up to
five times faster than a traditional fridge, so that after unpacking the
shopping and loading into the cooling drawer the optimum temperature is
restored swiftly.
The cooling drawer’s LCD display has the benefits of allowing you
accurate temperature control.
The anti-bacterial filter and highly efficient air circulation work in
harmony to protect food, avoid food contamination and not only prevent
unpleasant odours but remove them too.

ATAG's
Compact Line offers a comprehensive range blending style and substance

makes for flexible installation for the creative designer kitchen specialist.
‘Whether you are designing a small kitchen in a top-scale apartment
or a luxury kitchen with maximum cooking flexibility, ATAG's Compact Line
is designed to be mixed and matched to suit individual requirements,’
states Ellis Bardsley, Business Development Director.
Appliance versatility is a huge asset to the designer kitchen specialist,

skills and expectations, and design aspirations,’ says Ellis.
Finished in the highest quality stainless steel, the visually co-ordinated

ATAG
says that if cooking the perfect meal tends to stretch your brain just
that little bit too far, then you need to take a close look at the advanced
new ZX6011Q single oven from ATAG.
This
new premium oven takes away all the stress of cooking food to perfection.
Its Easy Cook automatic programmes cater for almost all common recipe
types, at the push of a single button. Sensors calculate exactly the right
temperature and cooking time - and even recommend the correct position
in the oven.
A clear dot-matrix display, with both text and graphics, takes you through
the programming process, so that even the most inexperienced or terminally
fated cook can achieve perfect results first time, every time.
On top of that, there are 50 semi-automatic programs for specific dishes,
based on weight rather than using the sensors. And, if you wish, you can
programme the oven yourself with your very own favourite dishes using
the Chef function.
The ZX6011Q has nine main oven functions (turbo hot air, top and bottom
heat, turbo grill, maxi grill, keep-warm function and defrost) to cater
for pretty well every eventuality, while the booster function provides
ultra-rapid heat-up or restores the oven temperature very quickly if,
for example, the door was opened during cooking. The temperature is also
displayed to the nearest degree Centigrade, helping to ensure the most
precise cooking conditions you can achieve.
With two pyrolytic functions, eco and normal, the oven even cleans itself
while you put your feet up after cooking, too. It automatically registers
the level of use and soiling from cooking residues, and will suggest when
to start the pyrolysis cycle. Even better, it can also be programmed for
off-peak energy use.
Talking of energy, you can feel virtuous about the environment at the
same time, as the ZX6011Q attracts the highest possible A rating for energy
usage.
Needless to say, safety features strongly. A quadruple-glazed door is
as cool as possible to the touch - even when the pyrolytic function is
in operation.
It also goes without saying that the ZX6011Q has ATAG's renowned high
quality of design and construction - that's why a full five-year warranty
is available with every appliance.

Extra
Large Load Washing Machines Save Energy and Time
The
launch of the company's new range of large capacity washing machines is
Servis UK’s response to the
growing trend amongst consumers for increased volume and less frequent
washes. By extending its range to include the even larger 6.5, 7.5 and
8.5 kg washing machines Servis says that it firmly positions itself at
the forefront of the competitive mid-market.
With
the new 8.5kg washer offering a load capacity up to 70% bigger than a
standard 5kg wash load, these new machines – with their energy and
time saving benefits - are designed not only for the modern family but
also for the environmentally-conscious consumer.
A choice of 19 wash programmes will satisfy most consumer washing needs
including washing duvets, sleeping bags or any bulky items. Wash progression
lights monitor the progress of the wash and a stylish aluminium porthole
gives the new range a distinctive design edge.
Gill Hewitson, Marketing Manager, comments, 'UK consumers now recognise
that larger capacity drums can cut running costs in the modern home; larger
loads mean fewer washes therefore greater energy efficiency. By increasing
our drum size we will be able to pass on greater savings to our customers.'
Servis M6854W Washing Machine:
Capacity: 8.5kg
Spin speed 1400rpm
Performance: A Wash/A Energy/B Spin
Colours: white and silver
19 wash programmes
8 hour time delay

The
Hoover Candy Group has announced
its first foray into the premium market with the company’s matte
black Hoover products - the VisionHD 8kg washing machine, VisionOne dishwasher
and the HooverCool fridge freezer. Created by Hoover to be sold as a set,
the company says that the Black Collection whose matte black finish won't
show fingerprints, will be the talking point of any kitchen.
‘The
new Hoover Vision Collection is redefining white goods to offer consumers
the latest in appliance fashion while staying true to the iconic Hoover
status by including features which offer real benefits and practical technology.
‘Designed by one of Audi's interiors designers, HooverCool goes beyond
a mere style statement. Saying goodbye to the standard boxy fridge freezer
design, HooverCool has a wave-front door and straight chrome handle running
the full length of the matte black fridge freezer. HooverCool is unlike
any other product on the market and not only looks good, but comes with
the best features available.’
The Dairy Cellar, a dedication to cheese lovers, is a fixed compartment
with a stable temperature and moisture control for fresh and seasoned
cheeses. The 45-litre XL Fruit and Veg Storage keeps a week's worth of
fruit and vegetables fresh and moisture controlled, and the Versatile
Wine Rack allows users to keep a selection of chilled white wines at the
ready. An XL Bottle Storage stores plenty of 2-litre bottles in the fridge,
and a specially designed freezer door stores pizza and holds a special
area for a drink bottle that requires extra-low temperatures like vodka
or gin.
The VisionOne 15-place setting dishwasher is the newest dishwasher from
Hoover and has just been awarded the Waterwise Marque from the UK's leading
authority on water efficiency, Waterwise, for its water and energy efficient
benefits.
With the VisionOne dishwasher, Hoover moves away from the standard external
aesthetics of a dishwasher with a new design. It has central programming
controls, display and handles, and the matte black finish, making the
VisionOne a more modern proposition in the market.
The first dishwasher with dual vertical grip handles, the VisionOne can
be opened with total ease using the left or right hand, and it includes
an improved basket design so consumers can wash larger and non-standard
shaped plates in an adjustable central rack. With the Hygiene+ cycle,
water temperatures remain at 75 degrees Celsius throughout the entire
cycle so consumers are assured of a super hygienic wash. Triple A efficiency
and easy to use LED display round out the line-up of sophisticated features
on the VisionOne.
Completing the matte black Vision collection is the Hoover VisionHD washing
machine, an 8kg machine designed with a larger and raised porthole for
easy loading and unloading, and a central programming dial suitable for
both left- and right-handed consumers.
The VisionHD incorporates a new drum technology from the Hoover Candy
Group. The group has utilised a special expansion process to give the
new Hoover drum its unique semi-conical shape, which increases the drum
diameter to 50cm. This allows Hoover to offer consumers a massive load
size without increasing the depth of the washing machine, which means
the machine does not extend beyond the standard kitchen work surface.
The totally redesigned drum uses a 3D Dynamic Wash System - the HydroPressure
system, HydroPaddles and raised HydroDome profiles - to move laundry in
a three-dimensional way, thereby providing the dynamics that ensure clothes
are washed to the optimum performance.
The HydroPressure system consists of smaller and more numerous holes throughout
the drum, which achieves a higher water pressure for an all round better
cleaning performance, and enables improved water extraction during the
spin cycle.
The raised HydroDome profiles increase water circulation and stop clothes
from clinging to the sides of the drum during the wash cycle - giving
a more effective wash action and reducing creasing of clothes. The convex
shape of the HydroDome profiles also improves water distribution and extraction
throughout the wash cycle.
Finally, the curved HydroPaddles work with the Hydrodome profiles to manoeuvre
the laundry into the centre of the drum for better wash results. The carefully
positioned holes on the HydroPaddles help to disperse the water more effectively
throughout the wash cycle.
Steve Holton, marketing and strategic planning director, Hoover Candy
Group, says, ‘This is the first time we've offered such a highly
stylised collection of appliances and we wanted to make a big impression.
The combination of Audi-inspired designs on the HooverCool plus the advanced
features across the trio of appliances guarantees that the Black Collection
will be a hit amongst our target market.’

From
Catwalk to Kitchen with Britannia - New Couture Range Launched at Grand
Designs Live
Encouraged
by buoyant sales of Colourange, Britannia
gave style-conscious consumers further reason to celebrate with the launch
at Grand Designs Live of the Couture Range. This collaboration between

to the Dynasty, a solid door range cooker and one of Britannia's most
popular models. Inspired by creations from Avsh Alom Gur's runway shows,
the designs incorporate some of his signature motifs.
'Identity'
brings together an opulent gold and black colour scheme with Avsh Alom
Gur's famous thumbprints, while the flamboyant 'Cubism' offers a bold
geometric design in red and black. 'Freedom' shows a more delicate side
to the designer's work, with elegant swallows flying over an elegant sky
blue background.
Henneke Duistermaat, Director of Marketing at Britannia, comments: ‘The
performance of Colourange exceeded all expectations and proved to us that
kitchen design is moving on with consumers increasingly looking to make
a statement with their appliances. The Couture Range takes this a stage
further, combining the quality and specification for which Britannia is
renowned, with a high fashion look that makes the cooker a true art form.’
She continues: ‘Avsh Alom Gur is an inspirational designer with an
attention to detail and passion for excellence that made him the perfect
choice for this project. He has helped craft three beautiful range cookers
that are sure to appeal across all tastes, while ensuring we keep the
Britannia brand a fresh and appetising proposition for consumers and retailers
alike.’
The good looks of the Couture Range are matched by a specification that
means the cookers are as popular with foodies as they are with design
aficionados. A nine function oven, a four function oven, a Quickstart
option, automatic programmer and a choice of hotplate are just some of
the features available.
The Couture Range Dynasty comes in a 100cm width and is priced at £4,899.

De Dietrich DVY640J ICS 45cm Fully Integrated Dishwasher
De
Dietrich
says that its top of the range ergonomically designed, 10 place setting
dishwasher is truly state of the art. It is 'AAA' rated for energy, wash
and drying performance and has a digital display and touch sensitive control
panel. In its ICS programme, its intelligent double sensors will assess
the quantity and type of dirt on the dishes and calculates the required
amount of detergent and water. It sets the optimal temperature and washing
time that will maximise its performance at the lowest cost.
It has 8 programmes: ICS, Intensive, Daily, Fragile, Rapid (30 mins),
Boost Super Intensive, Soak and the useful wAsh programme, which will
do a slightly longer wash at a lower temperature, which is ideal to take
advantage of lower rate electricity at night. It also has a delayed start
of 1 to 24 hours for convenience. It further benefits from being ultra
quiet, with noise levels of 48db, which means that the machine can be
left on while the user is asleep.
There are five spraying levels with crossed rotational jets and an innovative
design of the upper and lower arms will optimise water distribution and
washing efficiency. The 'boomerang' shaped lower arm with alternative
spray nozzles ensure that water reaches dishes at an optimal angle, so
that best results are obtained throughout the cavity of the dishwasher.
A condenser dryer ensures that dishes are perfectly dried and ready to
be stacked away.
As always, safety is paramount with De Dietrich products and this dishwasher
comes with Aquabloc Plus - anti - overflow, anti leak and anti pipe burst
with electrical water intake cut off.
Consumption: 12 litres / 1.01 kWh / 170 min

The
Hob Choice for the Eco-Conscious
Whirlpool
has a range of 18 hobs including induction models available in 60cm and
70cm widths.
Electric induction hobs are not only as fast and reactive as gas hobs
but shave minutes off gas cooking times because the pan is heated, not
the hob. This means they are the most energy efficient hob choice on the
market, thanks to the fact that no fuel is wasted on unnecessary heating.
With attractive appearances and easy-to-clean glass surfaces there has
been a recent surge in interest in induction hobs – traditionally
people’s choice was influenced by fuel type, with gas being the preferred
option for most.

ATAG'
s Perfect Puzzle - Freedom to Design your Own Cooking Centre
For
the cook who's puzzling over how to equip their kitchen with a single
large hob surface that will cope with all the demands they're likely to
throw at it, the new modular 'domino' hobs from ATAG
fit the bill.
Constructed to the same ultra-high standards for which it's renowned,
ATAG's modular domino hobs enable customers to select any or all of the
five hob options available, so they can tailor their cooking requirements
to their exact capabilities or style - and then site them where it's most
convenient for them or their kitchen layout. They can even opt for multiple
units of the same type if they like! Think of it as a kind of jigsaw puzzle
- but with fewer pieces than usual, and there might even be two or more
pieces the same!
Whether a customer's preference is to cook with standard gas, ceramic
hob, ceramic grill, wok or a 'naughty-but-nice' deep fryer, ATAG's modular
hob range is sure to satisfy almost any hob-top cooking scheme they can
conjure up.
Looking at the options in more detail, there's a two-zone ceramic hob
featuring one dual heat zone and one standard zone featuring ATAG's 'Cook
light' technology. There are nine power levels for precise control over
cooking speed, and an overheating safety device.
For
fans of gas cooking the two-burner gas hob features ATAG's renowned celebrities,
the company's 'A' listed burners. All ATAG hobs have 'A' burners, which
means they guarantee fast, efficient and controllable cooking. The compact
design ensures the high capacity is concentrated and directed to the base
of the utensil, delivering faster heating times. There is a sturdy enamelled
cast-iron pan support, one standard and one high-speed burner incorporated
into a stainless-steel drip tray; safety and single-handed ignition is
integrated into the controls. And maintaining the gas hob is not a fiddly
maintenance headache - the burners are all one piece and therefore there
is no reassembling and matching after cleaning and the burner caps are
finished in ATAG's Flex-enamel coating which makes them easy to clean.
Devotees of Chinese and Asian-style cooking may want to select the gas
hob with wok burner, which comes with a powerful two-flame burner with
enamelled cast-iron support specifically designed for a wok with rounded
bottom. Again, spark ignition is integrated for simplicity and ease of
use.
Those customers at the healthy-cooking end of the spectrum will see the
ceramic grill as an absolute 'must' for fat-free cooking of meat and vegetables.
But for those who really can't keep away from deep-fried food, or simply
like to treat themselves to a traditional fry-up now and again, the 3.5-litre-capacity
deep fryer will surely have to form one of the key pieces in the extra-large
hob jigsaw.
Frying really has never been so convenient. There's a thermostatic control
for temperature and safety, and a drain cock at the bottom for easy removal
of used oil. It's topped with a black glass lid that looks good, while
keeping smells in and foreign objects out. In combination with one of
ATAG's high-powered extraction hoods to whisk away the frying odours,
no one need ever know you have a fryer at all!
Ellis Bardsley, Business Development Director says: 'This is an incredible
range that complement each other flawlessly. They are ideal for the consumer
who wishes to have the look and the professional requirements to meet
their demands. Flexibility and creativity are essential for the premium
market and ATAG aims to deliver inspiration as well as aspiration! The
depth of range means you can puzzle-up any combination to suit the space
or match consumers‚ aspirational desires; ATAG delivers style, substance
and performance, a great alternative for the consumer, and for the Kitchen
Specialist looking for that USP!
'With ATAG, you always know to expect something out of the ordinary. But
that's because our approach to kitchen appliances is somewhat unusual
too. For a start, we always design our products up to a specification,
rather than down to a price. That means our quality standards are way
above the norm - which is why we can offer a decidedly other-worldly five-year
warranty on our appliance range.'

Britannia
Fills Gap in Market with New 110cm Width
With
Britannia launching its very first
110cm width range cooker this month, the company says that sales - as
well as cooker widths - will be expanding.
The
110cm XG will be available across three of Britannia's most prestigious
designs - the Sigma, Dynasty and Classic, and has been prompted by demand
amongst retailers and customers, primarily those in the replacement market.
The new design also comes on the back of the successful launch of the
100cm XG range in September 2005, which was Britannia's first range cooker
to incorporate a separate grill compartment and continues to sell phenomenally
well thanks to the appeal and versatility of its configuration.
Across all three models, the 110 cm XG will offer the high specification
for which Britannia ranges are known, including a 60cm nine function oven,
a 40cm four function oven with rotisserie, Quickstart fast pre-heat system
and a fully automatic programmer and minute minder. It shall also become
the only range cooker of its width to offer the Chef Top hotplate, alongside
six gas burners.
Henneke Duistermaat, Director of Marketing at Britannia, comments: ‘As
with the car owner who looks to upgrade his existing model when it comes
to the end of its lifespan, most consumers will look to replace their
old cooker with a better specified and higher quality model. As such there
is a real demand at the top end of the market for quality replacement
ranges, especially at the 110cm width.’
She continues: ‘Our new 110cm XG model then should fill this gap
in every sense. It offers customers the quality and specification of Britannia
at the 110cm width and retailers a product they can confidently sell.’
The 110cm XG will complement the existing 100cm XG and Britannia's standard
range cookers, which come in widths of 90cm, 100cm, 120cm and 150cm. It
is priced at £3,799, with matching AG and K7088 hoods costing £1,179
and £659 respectively.

Aga
Launch 'One of the Most Significant New Models in Recent Times'
Since
April 2007, the Electric Aga - which
runs on a standard 13-amp connection – has been offered with the
option of the Aga Intelligent Management System (AIMS).
The
system means consumers are able to adjust the temperature of their Aga
to suit their lifestyle.
AIMS is a sophisticated - but easy to use - program, which allows you
to adjust the output of your Aga to suit your way of life. In short, it
means that your Aga can sleep when you sleep and only operate at normal
power when you need it. It can be fitted to all 13-amp Electric heat-storage
models and it is operated by a simple and stylish remote - control handset.
The AIMS program is ultimately flexible - it is supplied pre-set, with
two active periods each day. In this mode, your Aga will be at normal
temperature ready to cook breakfast in the morning, drop down to a lower
temperature during the day and then return to normal temperature ready
to prepare dinner in the evening. After dinner, the system automatically
enters 'slumber' mode, its lowest temperature.
But you can easily program your 13-amp heat-storage Aga to perform exactly
as you need it. For those days when you are not planning on using your
Aga in the morning, for example, you can over-ride the default settings
and choose two completely different cooking times.
Alternatively, you could, of course, have it running at 'normal' temperature
all day - perhaps if you were planning on doing a lot of baking or wanted
to raise the ambient temperature of the kitchen over a winter weekend.
The system can also be set to 'holiday' mode, which will keep the Aga
on either the lowest energy setting (or off) during the selected dates,
before automatically restarting in time for the family's arrival back
home.
This setting allows for full day/month/year selection to allow for longer
holidays and any program setting can easily be overridden by the simple
pressing of a button on the Aga itself.
The new Aga Intelligent Management System - which is available as an option
on all 13-amp heat-storage Electric Agas - also makes financial sense
at an additional cost of just £300 including VAT.
