Haier iF Design Award
Haier brand won the iF Design Award in the Kitchen Appliance category, standing out among over 11,000 nominations from 72 countries . These are two Haier ID Series ovens (the ID Ultimate S6 oven and ID Advanced Oven Series 4 ) unique in their design and technologies, both designed by the Milan Experience Design Center of Haier Europe, led by Federico Ferretti and formed by a group multidisciplinary and multicultural talents of different nationalities, divided into three specialized and synergistic disciplines: experience strategy, experience interaction and product experience .Haier ID Ultimate S6 oven is designed for consumers looking for a perfect blend with the home environment. Mimesis is achieved thanks to two main features: the “over the edge” handle (which acts as a bridge between internal and external design, enhancing the perception of craftsmanship without compromising practicality) and the “dead-front” display which, thanks to the Artificial Intelligence recognizes the dishes inserted, guaranteeing more streamlined procedures for programming the desired cooking. Plus not to forget the Partlight light bar , which increases the intensity depending on the feedback to be shared.
Haier ID Advanced Oven Series 4 integrates perfectly with the kitchen thanks to the carefully chosen traditional materials , which become a real experience: the glass is liquid, the metal welcoming. The design was conceived and created to last over the years, without ceasing to capture the senses. The oven uses the most advanced Haier technologies and unique details such as the camouflage handle and front glass : when it is turned off you can’t see anything in the cavity, the product blends in completely with the environment
Lincat cuts salamander grill energy us
Lincat claims has devised a solution for operators that waste electricity by leaving their salamander grills on all day even when not in use.
The British manufacturer company reckons its new Silverlink Eco Electric salamander grill consumes half the energy of its popular Silverlink GR3 model, simply by reengineering it with a ‘jog to sprint’ approach. “Salamanders play a critical role in kitchen operations but tend to remain at full power for up to 12-15 hours daily despite being actively used for only 2-3 hours
Rather than fully powering off and cooling down when idle, the grill enters a low-power sleep mode, conserving energy while keeping the cavity warm. When needed, it swiftly transitions into boost mode, ready for immediate use with the simple press of a button.”

Besides, the technologies used in the external units allow a wide operating range, with operation at certified performance up to external temperatures of +50° C in cooling mode. This year, the external units with certified heating performance up to temperatures of -20°C will be available.
The new models have connectivity via the HomeWhiz app. As regards to the filters, the BEEPGH air conditioners are equipped with two high-density filters, an activated carbon filter and a cold catalyst filter. In addition, Beko air conditioners feature the Gold Guard treatment, a golden hydrophilic coating, which improves the heating efficiency, accelerating the defrosting process. Finally, further pluses are the R32 gas for a lower environmental impact and the ProSmart Inverter moto
