Falmec keeps quite

Posted on by

Silence NRS (Noise Reduction System) technology, developed by Falmec, celebrates its tenth anniversary: this system has made it possible to design extremely silent hoods. In fact, the noise level of solutions equipped with this technology is almost imperceptible (up to -86% less sound) thanks to Falmec’s in-depth research on air flow optimisation and the use of sound-absorbing materials conducted in collaboration with the University of Padua and laboratories specialising in fluid dynamics. To celebrate this important milestone decade, Falmec has decided to expand the Silence NRS range by extending this patented technology to new models. The Falmec products now also available in the Silence NRS version are: Lumen Isola 175, Lumen, Plane Black and Virgola, all of which combine attractive design with efficiency and silence

Rangemaster’s new built-in ovens

Posted on by

Rangemaster has added its built-in ovens for 2022, with six models offering a broader choice at various price points.

The collection, which replaces the present single-cavity models, supplement Rangemaster’s integrated appliances such as its wine cabinets and dishwashers.

Adding to the company’s top class Eclipse range are two 69-litre models with 13 functions, such as ‘Fast Cooking’ and ‘Steam Clean’, that are supplied with a meat probe and telescopic runners as standard.
Both ovens in the Eclipse range are available pure black glass with black stainless steel trim, with the flagship model boasting a pyrolytic cleaning feature, while the other addition has a rotisserie attachment that works with the grill.

In addition, priced lower than the Eclipse range are two touch-control ovens with LED panels, with 13 functions plus pyrolytic function.

These built-in ovens are offered in the company’s standard black glass and stainless trim.

Completing the line-up are Rangemaster’s cost-effective ovens with metal dial controls in six and 10 function versions.

Available in black glass and brushed aluminium,  the six-function version provides grill, fan-assisted grill and bake options, at the same time as the 10-function model also includes ‘Fast Cooking’ and ‘Top Heat’ features.
