Catering to every taste

There's a quiet revolution going on in homes throughout Australia as homeowners embrace new technology. And nowhere is this more evident than in the kitchen.

Smart appliances that do the thinking for you are simplifying food preparation and taking care of routine chores. But while functionality is important, so too is aesthetics. Today you can choose your appliances to complement and enhance your kitchen design.

The research and development team at Fisher & Paykel continually monitors market trends to ensure the company's products are designed for today's lifestyle from the sharp-edged minimalist look to the softer-lined contemporary kitchens now in vogue.

Fisher & Paykel's premium Titan, Icon and Designer Series display the continued flexibility and choice the company is renowned for, and are available in eye-catching Iridium stainless steel.

Fisher & Paykel's Titan Series (above) offers generously proportioned cooking appliances that feature panels with crisply defined details. The precision electronic controls and handles are finished with die cast satin chrome for a refined look.

The Icon Series (above and right) is designed to highlight a refined simplicity. This series features subtly curved panels with matching handles and contrasting steel mid sections on the ovens. This series has been designed to provide an enduring look that will suit most homes.

Fisher & Paykel's Designer Series, the newest collection, is designed for sharp-edged, contemporary kitchens. Australian marketing manager Steve Reid says this collection, shown on these pages, takes appliance design to a new level.

"Clean edges, linear handles, flat panelling and clean lines are the signature details that set this family apart," he says.

But no matter which series best suits your kitchen, the appliances have many features in common. For example, the refrigerators all feature Fisher & Paykel's Active Smart¢ intelligence, which continually adjusts the flow of cold air based on daily use and climactic conditions. An electronic dual temperature control ensures that adjusting the temperature in one compartment will not affect the other. In addition, fruit and vegetable bins can be independently adjusted for customised humidity control.

The ergonomic DishDrawer¢ is another essential appliance for the modern kitchen. The DishDrawer's design offers the same stress-free operation as opening a kitchen drawer. And, with drawers mounted beneath the benchtop, there's no need to bend to load and unload dishes. Having two DishDrawers means you can wash two loads independently.

Fisher & Paykel cooking appliances also feature the latest technology. Multifunction fan ovens come in a range of sizes, and are designed to provide fast preheating and even cooking. They also have a pyrolytic self cleaning cycle.
