Action Against Sub-Zero Dismissed, Renewing Focus on Ventilation and Consumer Choice

A federal lawsuit alleging health risks associated with gas appliances has been dismissed, reaffirming the importance of informed consumer choice and proper home ventilation.

Filed in Wisconsin, the class action targeted premium appliance brands Sub-Zero and Wolf Appliance Inc., accusing them of failing to warn consumers about potential emissions from gas cooktops, stoves, and ovens. The case was dismissed *with prejudice*, meaning it cannot be refiled, and no changes were made to product labels or warnings.

Sub-Zero and Wolf have long been trusted by professional chefs and home cooks alike for delivering powerful, responsive heat — a key advantage of gas cooking. Their appliances are designed to meet high performance standards and function safely when installed with adequate ventilation, as recommended across the industry.

While the lawsuit is no longer active, the topic of indoor air quality continues to spark conversations. Similar cases have surfaced against other manufacturers, pointing to a growing interest in household environmental awareness. But experts agree: when used correctly and maintained properly, gas hobs remain a reliable and effective tool in kitchens worldwide.

Matter 1.3 Update Sets Connectivity Standard for Kitchen and Laundry

With the release of the Matter 1.3 smart connectivity update, which Whirlpool Corporation has been a collaborator in developing, Matter’s footprint throughout the smart home is expanding. New major home appliances categories now supported by Matter, include microwaves, ovens, clothes dryers, vent hoods and cooktops. This update ensures consumers can find Matter-enabled appliances in every major kitchen and laundry category.

Home appliances that work with Matter will have the potential to simplify connected experiences, enable reliable connections, provide consumer choice in how to control a smart home, while maintaining privacy and security.

“Our work with Matter in the kitchen and laundry room has been focused on giving consumers the flexibility to create a smart home that seamlessly fits into their daily lives,” said Ryan Craig, Whirlpool Corporation’s director of global IoT strategy “We are excited to show the world how Matter-enabled home appliances will bring the future to your fingertips.”

Launched in October 2022, Matter is the language of the modern smart home, led by the Connectivity Standards Alliance and supported by hundreds of the world’s leading IoT and smart home companies. Products built on Matter will work with each other seamlessly and securely across platforms regardless of brand or manufacturer.

The addition of these home appliances and other device types into Matter 1.3 means that product manufacturers like Whirlpool Corporation can start to implement Matter into future designs now that the spec has been thoroughly tested and vetted.

As with all technology, it will take time for Matter-enabled devices to reach consumers’ homes – and Whirlpool Corporation looks forward to showing the world what a Matter-enabled smart home will look like.

Gaggenau Essential induction hob

Gaggenau, the luxury brand for professional grade home appliances, introduces its latest innovation, the Essential Induction cooktop. Seamlessly integrated into the kitchen’s worktop, it represents the epitome of freedom, flexibility, and cuttingedge design for culinary enthusiasts.

The new induction cooktop is distilled to its essentials: the LED ‘dot’, the worktop surface, and the performance knob. These elements are all that are visible. The result is a clear countertop that provides unmatched convenience and aesthetic appeal, transforming the cooking experience into a true architectural masterpiece.

The Essential Induction cooktop is designed to integrate exclusively with Dekton stone countertops. These ultra-compact, stain- and scratch-resistant surfaces are available in 60 finishes, designs and colours to complement any kitchen design. Gaggenau’s distinctive front-mounted performance knobs assist users throughout the cooking process. The dot, a smart centre light within the cooking zone, shows the user where to place the cookware, warns of residual heat and vanishes when not in use, transforming the cooktop island into a versatile area suitable for preparation, serving, dining, working and socialising.

To ensure efficient cooking, Gaggenau has developed removable magnetic surface protectors for your existing cookware. These protectors not only mitigate any noise of the pan moving across the stone surface and safeguard the worktop but also ensure the conductivity of the induction modules, guaranteeing optimal cooking performance. The Essential Induction cooktop offers the full Gaggenau capabilities: keep warm and boost functions and an illuminated performance knob in stainless steel or black. Combining the Gaggenau ceiling extractors provides a harmonious kitchen environment, especially for open-plan designs.

“It’s about eliminating the boundaries between preparation and living. It offers the ultimate freedom in kitchen planning, which is a revolutionary concept for designers and planners,” said Sven Baacke, Gaggenau’s Head of Design.

“Our longstanding commitment to innovation has often changed the dynamic of cooking. From the first integrated, eye-level appliances, to downdraft ventilation and pioneering steam cooking for the private kitchens, our technological advances have always created genuine human benefits. Today we champion The Essential Induction cooktop, an innovation that will not only change the way people cook but also how they choose to interact and socialise in the modern, open plan kitchen.”
Dr Peter Goetz, Managing Director of Gaggenau
The Essential Induction cooktop is a result of Gaggenau’s dedication to timeless design, craftsmanship and innovation. This addition to their renowned collection of luxury appliances is set to revolutionise the kitchen landscape, empowering users to explore their culinary passions without compromise.
The Essential Induction cooktop will be available to purchase from May 2024.
