is launching in the UK this Autumn by Whirlpool.
A
fast, easy, practical solution to remove wrinkles, creases and odours
using only the natural power of steam.
Versatile
Ideal both home and away, and for a wide range of clothes and fabrics.
Prêt-à-Porter is suitable for eliminating creases and smells

are no barrier - Prêt-à-Porter is kind to woollens, silks,
and linens as well as polyester, linens and cottons.

10.5kg (23lbs) and has wheels to make it travel friendly.
Simple to Use
Just hang clothes on the hangers supplied, fill the small container with
the right amount of water, zip up, press the button and that's it.
Smart Steam System
Prêt-à-Porter detects the amount of water and automatically
adapts the length of its cycle to the textile option chosen.
Environmentally friendly
No need for chemicals, so kind to the environment and delicate clothes.
Low energy consumption.
Saves Time and Money
A convenient, time and money saving alternative to taking garments to
the dry cleaners. A portable solution to always having fresh, de-odorised,
de-wrinkled and sanitised garments at the touch of a button with a cycle
time of on average 30 minutes.
First
Gas Built-In Ovens from Belling
In a first for Belling, its new-look built-in collection now includes three new gas built-in ovens - making it the most comprehensive collection to date.
The
XOU60G, XOU70G and XOU90G gas models are all available in stainless steel
for a sleek finish and offer versatility to the new range for customers
who want the modern finish of built-in appliances but prefer to cook with
gas.
Features across the three models include a main conventional gas oven
with five shelf positions for variable cooking positions, and a second
gas top oven on the XOU70G and XOU90G double oven versions. Each model
also has a fixed rate gas grill, a 3 button programmer, wider viewing
windows and an easy clean finish that means spills can easily be wiped
away.
The gas ovens fit with the new one brand aesthetic that the complete Belling
built-in collection now features. Coordinated stainless steel hobs, designer
hoods and splashbacks are also available from the new range to complete
the look and ensuring a simple sell-in to customers looking for co-ordinated
kitchen style.

Revolutionary
Drying Solution from Bosch - No More Wet Weekends
Bosch
has introduced a new collection of Condenser Tumble Dryers. The Classixx,
Exxcel and premium Logixx models are packed with technical features to
give you the ultimate in performance, save you time and help take the
chore out of laundry. The new design has a drum care system, which means
your clothes benefit from more even drying, reduced creasing and greater
fabric care.
Bosch
has combined a drum design and paddle action to create a new drying and
airflow system. The soft structure archimedic style paddles ensure a gentle
distribution of your laundry in a three dimensional movement, from side
to side, back to front and around the drum. Its textured surface (elliptic)
improves the airflow to keep laundry raised from the surface of the drum
providing even greater care of delicate fabrics. The large drum also means
you can dry bigger pieces of laundry quickly and evenly.
The smooth inner door has been designed to reduce the impact of tumbling
clothes. The end result is more even drying, reduced creasing and greater
fabric care.
Bosch has also included easy to use touch controls, an easy clean filter
(requires less maintenance and cleaning) and LC display with new graphical
icons on each of the dryers. Plus, the large round door makes loading
and unloading even easier, further reduces creasing and gives you greater
visibility of the load.
All three models come in a white finish:

programmes, warning indicators for condensed water container and fluff
removal, programme progress indication, large easily accessible fluff
filter, LCD display for time remaining, reduced ironing, drum interior

With
healthy eating very much in mind, kitchen appliance manufacturer Siemens
has just launched the company's very first built in steam oven.
New
model HB24D561GB has a drop down door and is operated via electronic touch
controls on the glass fascia. It has a capacity of 26 litres and measures
a compact 38 cms high for fitting into a 60cm wide tall furniture housing
unit.
A colour coordinated tubular bar handle completes the exterior of this
new appliance, which is designed either to be built in alone or in conjunction
with a matching stainless steel built in single or microwave oven by Siemens.
To operate the oven, water is pumped into the heating dish in the cooking
cavity. After six minutes, the cavity achieves a temperature of approximately
100ºC to cook the food in a steam atmosphere. There are five temperature
options in ten-degree segments on this appliance, ranging from 50ºC to
100ºC.
Safety is a key issue on the HB24D561GB. Not only does it incorporate
a child lock to prevent little fingers from opening the oven, but it is
also virtually impossible to overcook or burn food in this energy efficient
cooking appliance.
Siemens' new steam oven is ideal for cooking fresh foods such as fish,
vegetables and rice. It enables you to retain all the flavours, colours
and nutrients of the food, resulting in a healthier mode of eating.
Available now from Siemens stockists nationwide. Around £750.
More details of Siemens' new cooking range can be found in the company's
2005/2006 built in brochure available now.

Whirlpool
says that with its newly launched range of functions, dishwashing is safer,
easier and more hygienic, giving you outstanding results every time.
'AutoClean is a filter system that guarantees superior dishwashing results
without pre-rinsing. With water regenerated every 4 seconds the filter
stays cleaner while the special soak and pulse function drains all remaining
particles at the end of each wash cycle for a self-cleaning result.’
The
Whirlpool dishwasher range uses advanced technology to guarantee optimal
performance:
• 6th Sense Max - One Touch (AAA) programme
With the ‘6th Sense Max’ Programme, your dishes are washed at
the optimal temperature. The dishwasher automatically senses how dirty
the water is and adjusts its cycle temperature to between 40° and
70°C, depending on the load. So you obtain perfect results in the
shortest time, saving energy and water. It’s the perfect program
– easy for anyone to use!
• Anti-bacterial option
The anti-bacterial option ensures your dishes are hygienic, with a special
rinse that eliminates bacteria*. For example, use it if soiled dishes
have been left in the dishwasher for 2-3 days.
• Multi Tablet Switch
You can choose your detergent - 4in1, 3in1, 2in1 tablet or basic powder.
Adjust your choice to suit your changing preference and the hardness of
the water in your area, so as to always guarantee optimum cleaning results.
• Multizone
Multizone allows you to wash a half-load using the upper or lower rack.
Particularly useful when washing glasses or heavily soiled pots and pans,
your savings in water, time and energy can be as much as 15%.
• Optiflex racks
Loading a Whirlpool dishwasher is easy and straightforward thanks to highly
adaptable Optiflex racks.
'Practical and stylish, ergonomically simple but technologically sophisticated,
Whirlpool dishwashers combine aesthetic and functional harmony in a modern,
minimalist design.’ Says the company.
*99.999% of all bacteria; independently tested to NF EN 13697 standards.
