This ensures that the oven subtly blends in with its surroundings, while the anti-glare glass also helps it to merge naturally with kitchen furniture. In line with the growing design trend for dark kitchens, the appliance is available in matte, graphite grey and glossy onyx black; colours which create an understated, sophisticated look that is complemented by the minimal user interface. The overall aesthetic is simple and modern, offering users a kitchen that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.Featuring Dual Cook Steam technology, the Infinite Cooking range is optimised to provide consumers with an unprecedented amount of cooking flexibility and control. The oven can be split into two separate cooking compartments, letting users cook multiple dishes simultaneously at different cooking modes, temperatures, and time settings. The Infinite Cooking ovens introduce steam cooking capability to the Dual Cook range, offering both Steam Assist and Full Steam options alongside a convection oven, allowing users to enjoy eight different cooking modes with just one appliance, taking convenience to a whole new level.“Our aim at Samsung is to create highly functional products that offer consumers real, tangible benefits, saving them time and energy. With the Infinite Cooking range, users can enjoy precise cooking control while also benefitting from the many advantages of being able to cook multiple dishes in the same oven. This is particularly convenient if you are cooking for people with different dietary requirements such as vegans and meat eaters, or if you are preparing more than one course at a time for a dinner party. The flexibility of the Infinite Cooking range proves incredibly helpful in a wide array of daily situations. Wi-Fi capabilities and a compatible smartphone app offer even greater ease of use, providing remote oven monitoring and control,” says Nick Bevan Head of Product Management for Digital Appliances.The Combi-Hob, also featured in the range, similarly blends unrivalled functionality with high end design. With a built-in hob and extractor fan, this two-in-one appliance saves space, while the flush fit and streamlined design not only looks sleek, but also enables easier maintenance. With two dual flex zones, users can enjoy greater convenience heating multiple pans at different temperatures.

Triflex HX1, the first rechargeable handstick by Miele

Posted on by

Miele presents its first offer in the booming market for rechargeable handsticks, with Triflex HX1 for which the company has programming a global campaign in partnership with Aude Lemordant, the triple aerobatics world champion. The focus of the campaign is the flexibility, powerful suction and faster cleaning of the rechargeable handstick. The creative idea is the work of DDB Düsseldorf.
With the new Triflex HX1 campaign, Miele is building on the storytelling platform #LifeBeyondOrdinary, first initiated in 2018 – once again adopting a novel approach in this segment. In this context, the brand is advertising its first rechargeable handstick in collaboration with the aerobatics pilot Aude Lemordant. The French sportswoman, 37, won her first title at the FAI World Championship in 2013 in the individual, freestyle and team disciplines. Since then, she has been chasing ever new records, last year winning her third world singles championship.
«With her ambition to constantly rise above herself and achieve the seemingly impossible – says Dominic Worsley, Director Global Marketing with the Miele Group – Aude is the perfect ambassador for our brand and, more specifically, for our innovative rechargeable handstick.»
A central element of the campaign is a 30-second spot. Alongside unbounded freedom, this also expresses the flexibility, power and speed which so characterises the Miele Triflex HX1. Its unique design combines three vacuum cleaners in one – along with powerful suction and faster cleaning. Thanks to Miele Vortex Technology and an extra wide electrobrush, suction on the Triflex is as powerful as on the company’s most powerful corded vacuum series. For good and fast deep cleaning on all surfaces, the electrobrush’s suction power adjusts automatically to floor coverings. The replaceable rechargeable battery allows up to 60 minutes of work. The Triflex HX1 Pro flagship model comes standard with a spare rechargeable battery which increases uptime to as much as 120 minutes.

Electrolux has developed a new intelligent induction hob with SenseBoil® technology

Posted on by

Electrolux has developed a new intelligent induction hob with SenseBoil® technology, which simplifies every cooking activity. In the two sizes of 60 and 80 cm wide, the SenseBoil® hob offers a significant flexibility: through the special sensor present in the 4 Infinite cooking zones, it perceives the vibrations of boiling water and automatically adjusts the level of heat, avoiding spills from the pot.
For greater flexibility and efficiency, the Bridge function connects two different cooking zones into a larger one, allowing the use of pans of any shape and size. Moreover, at the touch of a slider command on the digital display, the PowerSlide function activates three preset temperature levels (high, medium, low) so as to easily slide the pan from the warmest to the coldest area without the need to manually manage the power. Anyway, the hob ensures extreme cooking precision thanks to the heat system adjustable up to 14 levels. The model also features the Hob2Hood technology that connects the hood to the hob with the integrated wireless connection, automatically activating and adjusting the first according to the intensity of use of the hob: the environment will always be fresh and free of odors.
Finally, thanks to the Stop+Go program, what is cooked does not cool down because the cooking zones are automatically adjusted to the “keeping warm” level. In addition, the Child Safety function blocks the ignition and controls, preventing any intervention by children.
The Electrolux SenseBoil® hob also ensures energy efficiency, because it is possible to regulate the energy absorption from 1.5 kW to 7.2 kW.

The new version of Erika by ARAN Cucine will be displayed at EuroCucina 2020
The Erika kitchen, a best seller of ARAN Cucine, has been restyled for the next edition of EuroCucina. The brand has followed the the latest furnishing trends, that suggest functional and versatile solutions, clean and reassuring lines, neutral and elegant colors. To meet all tastes and respond to different market needs, ARAN Cucine offers customizable models, capable of adapting to any living context. Erika catalog, in fact, is enriched with new elements, transforming the model into a real ‘furniture system’, with modular solutions and over 41 finishes.
A composition designed to facilitate the movements of those who live it and ensure maximum space optimization without sacrificing design, provides a large multipurpose island, columns and shoulder system. To create a game of full and empty volumes, the large and capacious storage elements alternate with open, decorative and immediately accessible modules. The Jhon doors in black aluminum with gray smoked glass visually lighten the structure of the island block, equipped with the new Move-it snack: a mobile top that slides along the diagonal and that can be a dining table and then be brought back flush with the island, limiting its size.
But the big news is the introduction of elements with soft and circular lines. The more sinuous version of Erika is in fact characterized by creative and ergonomic solutions: the rigorous design of the columns – with the new vertical handle – and the wall units combined with the Fill bookcase harmonize with the curved peninsula.
