The
DD600 Downdraft Cooker Hood from Caple
Appliance
specialist Caple says that it has
introduced a revolutionary new approach to kitchen extraction; the DD600
downdraft cooker hood.
Aimed at the very top of the market, Caple’s DD600 downdraft extractor
rises and retracts effortlessly from alongside the hob. The extractor
makes use of a downdraft ventilation system and perimetrical suction to
extract cooking smells directly from the cooking area, offering a closer
and more powerful suction than a typical extractor. Eliminating the need
for the hood to be a fixed feature, the DD600 stores inconspicuously below
the counter when not in use; maintaining the clean lines of the modern
kitchen and providing a space saving extraction solution.
The DD600 is designed to appeal to those looking to enhance their kitchen,
with its impressive combination of minimalist styling and technological
innovation bringing a sense of modernity to the home. The DD600 is available
in black glass (DD600BK) with touch controls, or stainless steel (DD600SS)
with electronic controls. The ultra slim and compact extractors also feature
four variable speed controls plus timer.
Both the DD600BK and DD600SS offer a maximum extraction rate of 800 3/h.
The DD600 retails at approximately £1155.12 Inc VAT in black glass,
and £1082.81 in stainless steel. The motor is sold separately at
a retail price of around £215.12 Inc VAT.

Cooker in Red Wine, Smeg has added
the red colourway to 90cm model A1RW-6. This fashionable yet understated
colour blends in with a variety of kitchen designs from traditional wood
through to contemporary laminates.
The six-burner gas hob in polished stainless steel is fitted with heavy-duty

efficiency. The oven has nine functions including upper and lower element
with or without fan, grill with or without fan, fan and lower element,
circulaire with lower element, circulaire, defrost and rotisserie. A smart,
Smeg patented analogue LED electronic clock / programmer adds to the external
aesthetics as well as providing the user with a simple method of programming
the oven. The triple glazed removable door and stay clean liners assist
with maintenance while a useful storage drawer beneath the oven adds to
the practicality.
The A1RW-6 costs around £1986.00 including VAT. A polished stainless
steel splash back (KIT1A1SE6), and matching hood (KD90RW) are also available
priced £153.00 and £823.00 respectively.

Smeg
Modular Hobs
Italian
kitchen appliance manufacturer Smeg
has added a range of modular hobs to its Exclusive Studio Line collection
of appliances which are designed especially for the kitchen studio.
Modular hobs are essential to the specialist designer. Not only do they
provide a practical solution to incorporating a hob in a small or awkward
kitchen but they also allow the designer to be more creative, in island
unit situations for example. For the consumer, a modular hob can complement
existing appliances and facilitate additional cooking methods when required.
The range includes five 30cm 'Domino' hobs each with a stainless steel
base and controls and offered in either a flush fitted of ultra low profile
design. Consumers can choose from hobs that incorporate a fish burner
and additional burner (PDXS30P-1), two additional burners (PDXS30R-1)
or an ultra-rapid burner (PDXS30U-1). In addition to the three gas hobs,
a ceramic hob with two high-light zones (PDXS30C-1) and a Lava Stone Grill
(PDXS30B-1) are also available to offer complete versatility in the kitchen.
Prices start at £323.00 for the PDXS30P1, PDXS30U-1 or the PDXS30R-1.
All codes refer to ultra low profile designs. Flush fitted hobs replace
'S' with 'F'.

Treat
your Clothes with Whirlpool’s Steam Technology
Give your clothes the spa treatment with Whirlpool’s
new AquaSteam washing machine.
The
use of steam is becoming an increasingly important part of modern-day
culture. It is used for steaming food, to cleanse the skin, so why not
try it for washing clothes?
AquaSteam powerfully injects steam into the drum boosting the temperature,
which is key to removing tough stains. The high energy content of steam
allows it to fill any space quickly and transfer heat efficiently, removing
stains and odours and ensuring that your favourite garments stay in tip
top condition.
The Sanitisation Option cleans clothes by injecting steam into a dry drum
once the washing cycle has ended, killing bacteria. This option can be
used even when washing at low temperatures. It’s great for baby clothes
or for people with sensitive skin and ensures delicate items come out
squeaky clean.
The Refresh Option is perfect for giving your favourite dress a quick
face lift. In just 20 minutes, odours such as smoke and cooking vapours
are removed from clothes so that they are ready to wear again.
Other features include:
6th SENSE technology -
Whirlpool’s 6th SENSE technology adjusts the washing cycle according
to the load, which saves water and up to 30% of washing time. It also
injects the correct amount of steam into the cycle when required.
Hand-wash function -
The hand-wash function saves you time and energy, whilst achieving the
same hand-washed effect.
Head of Whirlpool design, Alessandro Finetto says: 'Clothes are one of
our greatest passions, we invest a lot of time and effort in what we wear,
it says a lot about us and our personalities.
'The AquaSteam enables us to take the best possible care of our cherished
clothes and helps ensure we can take pride in them for years to come'.
The AquaSteam washing machine is now available.

New
Accolade Hobs from Stoves
Combining designer style with performance and choice, Stoves
says that the launch of the new Accolade from its built-in hob collection
is set to move the brand into the premium market with its most comprehensive,
quality range of products to date.
From 'gas-thru-glass' and linear models, to 'hybrid' ceramic/induction
versions and even an advanced statement induction hob with a recessed
wok, these latest hobs coordinate perfectly with the wide range of single,
double, compact and landscape built-in ovens in the Accolade collection
- giving retailers the opportunity to create the ideal package to suit
individual customer needs and lifestyles.
Replacing all of the existing Stoves hob options, the new range has quality
and aesthetics at its core and makes 'trading up' through the models simple.
Customers can choose to upgrade to a 600mm or 700mm gas hob with solid
cast iron pan supports, or select sleek touch controls on the 600mm ceramic
model, or, for those wanting to maximise space, the extra wide 900mm gas
and ceramic hobs have even more appeal for avid cooks looking to make
their mark in the kitchen.
Taking the collection to the next level, three new linear models introduce
designer elements to the range, with a choice of electric and gas options.
Both the S7-C900TC linear ceramic and S7-C900TCi induction 900mm models
offer electric styling with bevelled edges and touch controls, whilst,
for customers looking to combine the newest gas through glass looks with
linear styling, the S7-G1100C linear offers a four burners combination,
including two powerful wok burners with wok cradles and cast iron pan
supports and a cast iron griddle plate.
There is no doubt that induction technology continues to grow in popularity,
and this latest collection ensures that retailers can make the most of
the benefits that this technology offers, across a wide range of price
points. Alongside its latest 900mm high power five element touch control
induction hob and Linear four element model, the show-stopping S7-C900TCiWOK
combines real style and technology with five independent zones, including
a recessed wok induction plate.
Taking into account that price can often be a stumbling block when it
comes to induction, the Accolade range also includes 600mm, 750mm and
900mm 'hybrid' ceramic/induction hobs, to allow customers to 'sample'
the benefits that the speed and controllability of advanced induction
technology can bring, without committing to a full induction model.
The complete Accolade range includes additional pull-through points for
retailers to maximise sales. For example, induction griddle pans come
as standard on full induction models, having the capability to cook food
approximately 3 x faster than on a gas hob, and advanced functions include
work break functions, independent induction zones and handy booster functions.
The new Accolade from Stoves built-in collection comes with a five year
parts and two year labour guarantee for added peace of mind.

latest introduction to its Pythagora Collection is packed with high-end
features. The company says that it's also priced as attractively as it

thermostatic grilling and convection cooking. Its mark-resistant stainless

it is on the inside, and it also has LED fully programmable controls plus
an automatic safety door lock function for when pyrolytic cleaning is
in progress. A-rated for energy, the P650 will retail at around £650.
