After nearly 40 years in the UK,

Neff's CircoTherm remains the

original and best forced air system on

the market. It has been much imitated

by other manufacturers but never

equalled. The principle of CircoTherm

remains the same today as when it was

first introduced in 1972. Air is drawn in

by a powerful fan, heated by the

element and forced back into the oven

through ducts in the rear wall. As a

result, the oven heats up rapidly and

needs little or no pre-heating before

cooking can start, saving time and

energy. There is no intermingling of

flavours, foods cook across the whole

of the shelf level, and there is rapid

sealing and less shrinkage on joints.

Because CircoTherm is a controlled

method of cooking, the contents of

each shelf are cooked in their own

“mini oven”, so food not only tastes as

it should but fats and juices are not

distributed around the oven cavity. The

inside of the door does not become

greasy and hot air skims the front of

the oven as it passes over the food.

Unlike other forced systems,

CircoTherm keeps much of the

moisture produced by cooking inside

the oven cavity, giving juicy, moist

results. From our experience,

customers of all ages and many

different cooking abilities are always

pleased by the results achieved by their

oven.

To help customers to understand

the benefits of CircoTherm why not

hold a demonstration if you have

working Neff appliances or encourage

them to attend official Neff events at

one of their partnership cookers

schools or Tesco Assessment Centres

across the country.

Right: CircoTherm in action. Because hot air is focused directly on to the food being cooked,the heat is evenly distributed on shelf positions 1, 3 and 4. A complete three course meal can

be cooked without the flavours mingling. Cooking temperatures are lower with CircoTherm®,reducing splashing and spitting. It is also perfect for obtaining a grilled effect without turning

the food because air circulates around it to provide even results.

Anew cooking innovation from the UK’s built in

appliance brand leader Neff is always hot news for

keen home cooks. From CircoTherm to CircoSteam

and now SlideAway door to AquaAssist, Neff is always

making kitchen history.

AquaAssist is the name of Neff’s latest cooking concept. It brings

together two established elements of Neff expertise - namely built in

ovens and steam competence - to create an ingenious new method of

food preparation which adds extra moisture to the cooking process.

In conjunction with seven cooking functions, the addition of

AquaAssist not only enhances the visual appeal of food, but also

significantly improves the texture and moistness of the final result.

Water content

AquaAssist is specifically designed to work in tandem with seven

standard cooking functions, including CircoTherm, CircoRoasting,

CircoTherm grilling and Bread Baking. It works on the principle that

foods like potatoes, meat, dough and vegetables all have different

water content and therefore react differently when cooked. The

addition of AquaAssist boosts the traditional finished result by

increasing the humidity for all seven standard cooking functions. It is

also ideal for crisping food such as Roast Pork and refreshing food

such as bread, because the additional moisture prevents them from

drying out.

New technology

The AquaAssist technology features a patented two-stage pump

system, unique to Neff. One pump brings fresh, pre-heated water

into the cavity as water vapour and the second pump removes any

residual water. The inclusion of a second pump guarantees that the

water is always fresh and also avoids any chance of tainted water

affecting the outcome of the food being cooked. Not only is this

method very hygienic but it is also highly energy efficient.

Total convenience

To operate the AquaAssist function, water has to be added to the

500ml capacity water tank to the left of the oven controls. After filling

up the water tank, one of three humidity levels can be selected. If you

decide halfway through that you want more or less humidity, you can

change the setting. In fact, water can be refilled at any time, even

while the oven is operating, so it is always fresh. For emptying and

cleaning, the container can be removed for total convenience.

Two choices

There are two new 60cm wide SlideAway door single ovens with

AquaAssist: models B46C74 (Series 5) and B45C42 (Series 3). These

new versions are in addition to the existing Series 5 and Series 3

models. Finished in stainless steel to coordinate with other Neff built-

in appliances, they are ideal for combining either vertically or

horizontally with the company’s In-Line range of compact cooking

appliances, such as the coffee centre, steam ovens and warming

drawers.

Multiple options

The new SlideAway door ovens with AquaAssist boast a capacious 67

litre capacity and multiple shelf positions. Both models boast an A

rating for energy efficiency and are available to order now from Neff

retailers nationwide.

DishwashersThe AEG ProClean range of dishwashers has been designed

for real life wash loads and takes larger than normal plates.

ProClean dishwashers are the first to feature AutoOff, which

saves energy by not leaving the dishwasher in standby mode.

These are claimed to be the quietest dishwashers in the world

running as low at 37dBA in ExtraSilent mode. A Time Beam

that shines on to the floor shows that the dishwasher is on

and how many minutes are left.

An outstanding new product range makes AEG one of the most aspirational

kitchen appliance brands on the market. Key points of the Neue Kollektion

are premium design, high end range coverage and differentiation through real,

value added features.

The AEG Neue Kollektion is one of the most important and inspiring

launches there has ever been for the kitchen. Since its foundation in 1887, AEG

has pioneered advanced electrical engineering and has done so with German

design flair and precision.

“The Neue Kollektion has been created for people who not only demand

superior performance, but who enjoy the process and expression of precision,”

says Hans Strohmeier, AEG’s Senior Design Manager. “The new range combines

a strong functional aspect with consistently appealing, simple design.”

MaxiKlasse - ovens with moreThe new MaxiKlasse oven range includes PyroLuxe intelligent ovens, steam

ovens and multifunction ovens, all with features that give a clear advantage.

Highlights include an extra large 74 litre capacity in an oven that fits into a

standard space. New technically advanced ThermiC hot air cooking has a

superior fan system for complete air flow coverage ensuring even cooking on all

five shelf positions. Other features include professional style food probes, soft

close doors and interior floodlights.

The range is designed for optimum energy efficiency. Both the insulation

and the door glass reflect more heat towards the food, preventing heat loss

through the oven walls. As a result the core range is rated at A-10 percent

efficiency while PyroLuxePlus models reach an exceptional A-20 percent. The

ProCombi steam oven range combines steam with other cooking modes to

ensure that food is crisp on the outside and tender and moist on the inside.

ProCombi has three cooking modes instead of the more usual two.

The extra large MaxiKlasse ovens mean that the MaxiTray is 20 percent

larger than a standard baking tray.

Hot hobsThe AEG Neue Kollektion features a fantastic range

of advanced gas and electric hobs in various sizes.

Electric: The AEG MaxiSense induction hob

range is one of the most advanced on the market.

Highlights include the OKO Timer for energy

saving, a CountUP timer that indicates real cooking

time, three levels of residual heat and

DirekTouch temperature controls for instant

access to the precise temperature required.

AEG CrystalLine is a new collection of modular

hobs that allow to user to customise cooking

zones. These sleek, minimalist glass modules

integrate into any kitchen style and can be

combined easily with a variety of worktop materials

including glass. They also integrate seamlessly with

other appliances in the collection.

Gas: A whole new range of elegant gas

on glass and ultra flat stainless steel gas

hobs has been launched.

AEG has also launched a new range of hoods to

complement hobs. The range includes chimney,

island and designer hoods, all quiet in operation

and with sophisticated features.

Cool OperatorsStunning decision and precision cooling and

freezing are the hallmark of this new range of built

in and side by side fridge freezers. Top models

feature LCD touch sensitive controls and LED

lighting. Sophisticated cooling features such as

AEG’s ProFresh keeps fresh food fresher longer. A

matching extra tall 185cm fridge and freezer are

the perfect built in alternative to a side by side or

opt for the PerfektFit which is designed to fit

perfectly into UK kitchens and is available with or

a p p l i a n c e sThe WT46W567GB tumble dryer is claimed to consume lessenergy than any other dryer in the world. It is A rated andremains energy efficient for its entire working life, being upto 50 percent more efficient than is required to achieve astandard A rating.Protecting the environment depends on

innovation. Every day Siemens is working to

find ways to reduce the amount of energy their

appliances use while steadily increasing their

performance and convenience. In the last 15

years alone, Siemens has cut consumption in all

appliance categories by over half and by up to

63 percent in fridge freezers.

In recent months Siemens has introduced a

number of new products, many of which have

tapped into the growing part that energy and

water efficiency play in consumer choice. New

products include what is claimed to be the

world’s most energy efficient dishwasher.

Thanks to Zeolith®, a naturally occurring

mineral that absorbs water molecules and then

releases them as energy, this dishwasher uses

30 percent less electricity than an A rated

appliance.

Other key innovations include the world’s

first washer dryer to use air instead of water to

dry clothes, saving up to 24,000 litres a year

and giving an A rating for life thanks to a self

cleaning condenser unit. Also new is an A rated

condenser dryer that uses 50 percent less

energy than a standard A rated appliance. The

A+++ rated washing machine has an integrated

detergent dosing system that can save up to

£220 in costs over five years. The A+++ fridge

freezer saves over 60 percent in energy costs

when compared to an A rated appliance.

Siemens is proud of its continuous stream

of innovative ideas and the imaginative

technology that its designers produce every

day. In buying a Siemens product, customers

can expect outstanding world class

performance as well as a clear, energy saving

conscience.

The I-Dos washing machine (WM14S890GB) works byautomatically adding just the right amount of

detergent for each load. Water consumption is reducedby up to 7602 litres a year, saving energy and

protecting the environment.

The new A rated WD14H520GB washer dryer has anextremely efficient airCondensation drying system that usesnothing but cold air to dry the wash – unlike conventionalwasher dryers where water is required for the condensingprocess. This can save up to 55 litres per drying cycle. Toensure that the machine is always working at peak efficiency,the condenser filter is self cleaning so lint and fluff cannotgather there.

Setting a benchmark for energy efficiency with an A+++ rating, the KG39EA140G is the most energy efficient fridge freezerfrom Siemens to date. A key attribute of this model is its lowFrost technology, which incorporates a special wrap aroundevaporator in the base of the appliance. Ice build up is less severe and more uniform and defrosting is significantly faster

than in conventional refrigeration. A Siemens A+++ rated model is 60 percent more energy efficient than an A rated modeland can save more than £253 a year in running costs when compared to a 1999 model.

Also new in Tetrix is the Naturalia top made from a woodfibre material sourced from certified European forests andthermoset resins said to offer superior performance tolaminate.

Famous for ground breaking design, Scavolini

has introduced Tetrix by Michael Young.

Described as a modular system with

unprecedented geometrical dimensions, the

kitchen reflects the free and easy style of its

renowned designer. Textrix is designed without

handles. Base unit doors can be opened via a

groove beneath the worktop (also available as a

double groove strip) with a vertical groove for

columns. Wall units have a shaped bottom to

aid opening. Motorised systems are available

for base, wall and tall units.

Tetrix is designed on rectangular modules measuring 36 by 60cm and combined on a horizontal axis. The idea finds itsinspiration in the world famous Tetris computer game. Doors are made by applying sheets of glossy or matt temperedglass that is flush fitted to the panel. It is possible to have support panels in different heights and glass in different colours.The panels are separated horizontally by aluminium edging that keeps the various types of door aligned.

Tetrix has two total heights of200 and 236cm. Wall units are

available in 36 and 73cm heightsand can be combined to make a

total height of 109cm.

The 36cm high peninsula andbases bring a new look tokitchen design. Suspendedbases are also available as acorner version with amotorised, removable rotatingbasket. The cooker hood isspecific to the design.

Above: 38mm Egger Eurospan® F905 ST22 Brown Malawi worktop.

As worktops are usually selected once the

door choice has been made, it is vital that

the two elements should co-ordinate. Egger’s

new range of worktops aims to make the

process as simple as possible by presenting

door and worktop combination ideas together

for the first time. The development of textures

such as Egger’s deep linear ST22 finish and the

enhanced quality of the reproduction has led to

growth in the use of melamine faced chipboard

for frontals. The rise of MFC slab doors is a

great example of the trend towards adding

both value and quality as they offer a premium

level look for an entry level price. This gives

kitchen manufacturers the potential to increase

sales margins in a challenging market.

The trend towards mixing and matching

woodgrains with uni colours for door fronts has

been met with Egger’s latest brown/grey and

green/grey palettes that have been designed to

work with the company’s latest range of

woodgrains. As this trend continues to grow in

popularity, particularly within the kitchen

market, deciding which colours to combine can

be a difficult process. To make it easier, Egger’s

design team has put together a number of door

suggestions for each worktop in its latest

worktop brochure.

Egger offers a choice of worktop

thicknesses so whether you want a classic

38mm Eurospan® worktop or an ultra

contemporary 50mm Eurolight® worktop there

is a solution for you. Matching splashbacks and

upstands are also stocked in the UK in all 20

decors. The new range comes with a ten year

guarantee and the prestigious FIRA Gold

Award. In comparison to granite and solid

wood, Egger laminate tops are easy to care for

and maintain. All Egger worktops are PEFC

accredited.

Egger aims to support the retailer as

much as possible with a brand new worktop

portfolio containing A4 laminate samples and

large application pictures. This is offered in

addition to a 48 page brochure, A4 laminate

samples and a point of sale stand containing

A4 samples.

Mistral by Karonia is a 25mm thick solid

surface worktop range that combines the

look of natural quartz and stone with the

creative freedom and practicality of an acrylic

based material. There is no substrate so Mistral

is 100 percent solid surface, which allows you

to utilise all of the potential that the material

offers. The inherent qualities of solid surfacing

begin with strength and durability maximised

by the 25mm thick format. The material also

benefits from having no solid surface to

substrate joints to undermine the structural

integrity of the worktop and there is also no

danger of moisture ingress.

Long sweeping curves can be created with

just a router and a jig and finished in the same

way as the surface. Unlike substrated worktops,

there is no need to apply a thin edging strip to

the side to conceal the core – a process that

increases installation time and costs and limits

the shapes that can be achieved.

Mistral worktops are easy to install using

exactly the same skills as those needed for

fitting laminate and real wood tops. The 25mm

thickness allows Mistral tops to be worked with

a router so edge profiles and drainer grooves

can be added. These features along with their

installation literature, training videos and

training days arranged in partnership with their

stockists showcase the talents of good installers

and allow them to offer greater benefits to their

customers in terms of both design and

practicality. There is no need for templating so

the whole job can be completed within the

same programme of installation if required for a

particular project. Keeping the worktop

element in house also makes it possible to keep

control of timescales and reduces the overall

cost of the tops, increasing your margin.

Sink cut-outs can be positioned within

standard worktop and breakfast bar products

without the need for special sink modules. This

is because all Mistral worktop products are

25mm thick which provides the required

strength for sink applications and presents an

elegant frame around all types of sink.

The latest generation of I F flat edge sinks in stainless steel sit easily with the streamlined, high-

gloss kitchen schemes that have dominated kitchen design in recent times. I F sinks look the part

fitted into the most exclusive of solid worktops (granite, composites, solid wood) and add a note

of high style to laminate worktops, creating a viable option for kitchens on all budgets. The low

profile edge also offers genuine hygiene benefits.

Reginox offers one of the largest sink

collections available in the UK with a

range of shapes, styles and designs to suit

all tastes.

The majority of the company’s sinks

are manufactured from stainless steel

which, Sales and Marketing Director Dave

Mayer predicts, is the material that will

continue to increase its market share over

the next few years. “Stainless steel remains

the most popular material due to the fact

that it is hard wearing, offers timeless

appeal and has the ability to look good in

all styles of kitchen,” he says. “The

ongoing trend for steel appliances and

splashbacks in the kitchen is also playing a

part in ensuring a guaranteed future for

steel sinks and, as technology advances,

manufacturers are able to push boundaries

and produce stainless steel sink profiles

that were previously unavailable,” he adds.

Reginox has recently updated its tap

range and Dave believes that the tap is a

three dimensional fashion statement that

can truly complement both the sink and

the entire kitchen. Tap design has

progressed enormously over the last five

years and never before has there been such

a choice available, allowing the

homeowner to make a design statement

within the kitchen and add individuality to

the sink area.

Reginox has added new sizes to thebest selling range of Texas sinks sothere is now a choice of eight differentoptions. Texas reflects the trend fordeeper bowls and features a small10mm radius in each corner, resultingin a uniform and minimalist designthat gives a clean, uncluttered look.The unusual square waste and overflowmirror the overall shape and design ofthe sink making Texas a stunningaddition to any contemporary kitchen.The sink can be undermounted,integrated or inset.

The Ohio Tap-Wing sink is available in 40 by40 and 50 by 40cm sizes and can beintegrated, undermounted or inset. Both sizesfeature the Ohio collection’s signature designof angular bowls blended with subtle curvesand have a gently sloping base for easycleaning.

With angular sinks continuing tobe a firm favourite with

homeowners, Reginox hasadded the Ontario 1.0 andOntario 1.5 to this popular

range. Both sinks feature theprogressive geometric finish that

has become synonymous withthe Ontario range but have the

added advantage of anintegrated stainless steel drainer.The new sinks will allow even the

smallest kitchen to benefit fromundisputed style withoutcompromising on space.

The new Niagara kitchenmixer complements the Texas

and Ohio ranges fromReginox. Niagara seamlesslycombines angular lines with

cylindrical tubes resulting in amodern looking tap that takes

its inspiration from art decodesign. The tubular right

angle single spout gives thetap a minimalist look.

The RegiDrain sink is ideal for usewhere space is limited and is verypopular in new build apartments and

developments. This compact sink will fitneatly into a smaller kitchen or is equally

suitable for use in a utility room. RegiDrain has astandard size bowl and drainer.

The NESP door range offers something for everyone and every budget. The NESP commitment to quality has been proven by Vetreo Acrylic doors successfully completing FIRA testing.

NESP originally built its reputation on supplying

quality panels to furniture manufacturers in the

North East. In the 14 years since it was founded, the

company has changed to offer many more products

(including a successful range of doors) to customers

across the UK.

With a key aim of only supplying affordable quality,

NESP created the Pinnacle Door Collection. This is a

range of flat slab doors in a selection of over 30 colours

with a wide choice of edgings. This custom cut range is

manufactured to customer specification and

complemented by the availability of matching end

panels. As manufacture is in house, NESP has been able

to offer traditional finishes as well as following the

trends demanded by today’s consumer.

NESP’s commitment to meeting consumer

demands brought about the development of the Vetreo

range. This premium high gloss range is available at a

fraction of the cost of solid acrylic doors and is supplied

in both plain colours and woodgrain. Manufactured

with an mdf core, the range is lightweight and easier to

drill than solid acrylic.

Vetreo acrylic is available in ten colours including

monochrome as well as earthy tones and vibrant

brights. Vetreo Woodgrains includes five high gloss on

trend designs that work extremely well with solid colour

blocks of Vetreo Acrylic, creating the two tone kitchens

so often seen in designer magazines.

The full Vetreo range is manufactured in house

using a unique two tone edging tape that really has to

be seen to be appreciated.

The NESP range of doors offers something for

everyone. With its vast experience of the market, NESP

is well placed to offer products for every budget.

The impressive finish on Vetreo Acrylic creates the illusion of glass. Shown here is Vetreo Acrylic Nero and Arctic.

The Pinnacle Door Collection is a versatilerange that allows greater inputs into design.With over 35 finishes and 20 edgings onoffer, the range has something for everyone.Shown here is Denver Oak.

Blum welcomed record numbers of UK visitors to

its stand at Interzum this year, keen to know

more about the Perfecting Motion theme. Most

important for UK customers was the new Movento

runner system, which offers an unprecedented ease

of glide thanks to the new, synchronised running

system and superb lateral stability. Four

dimensional tool free adjustment and dynamic

carrying capacity of 40 and 60kg are all standard.

Movento also incorporates integrated Blumotion

soft close.

Blum recognises the importance of motion

perfection in three dimensions – the opening of

furniture, the movement in between opening and

closing and the closing itself. For opening the

electronic automatic Servo-Drive was shown in an

ever wider variety of applications in base units and

on overhead Aventos lift systems. The mechanical

auto opening Tip-On was also on show. Blum’s

Tandem runner with integrated Blumotion still

underpins the drawerbox and pull out families but

the addition of Movento marks a milestone of

progress in this area.

The award winning Clip Top Blumotion hinge

was shown in a greater variety of opening angles

and options than ever before. The entire Blumotion

mechanism is encased in the hinge boss and can be

deactivated by the flick of a lever for light doors.

Blum also participated in a special show within

a show called Innovation of the Interior with a

spectacular exhibit where products appeared to

move out of a shining metallic wall.
