For the connoisseur

Reliability, high functionality and good looks are right at the top of the list of essential requirements for a new kitchen appliance. But compatibility is another consideration appliances designed to work together at both a practical and an aesthetic level can transform your kitchen.

It's a concept reflected in the DCS by Fisher & Paykel appliance collection. The company, which is renowned for its top-of-the-line professional gas ranges, wall ovens and cooktops, has released a new side-by-side refrigerator-freezer.

The new RF48SS brushed stainless steel refrigerator provides 29.52cu ft of space, with multiple drawers for chilling everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to raw meats and dairy products. The refrigerator also has an in-door ice-and-water dispenser for easy access.

The refrigerator matches the new DCS 30-inch WOU-130 wall oven. Laurence Mawhinney, vice-president sales and marketing, says this oven does not compete with other home ovens it's designed to rival professional restaurant ovens.

"Its performance is notable for its lack of hot or cold spots, so food is cooked evenly with no light- or dark-colored areas. Like the DCS ranges, this oven makes entertaining a breeze you can be sure your dishes will bake or cook exactly as planned."

To provide a coordinated look, the oven's sleek styling and brushed stainless steel finish are matched by the CMOS-24 microwave oven and the DCS DishDrawer dishwashers.

Mawhinney says the professional design features of all DCS appliances reflect the company's heritage. Before it began manufacturing residential cooking equipment, DCS designed and manufactured commercial appliances.

"DCS has leveraged this experience so that homeowners can enjoy the same performance and features that professional chefs have come to expect."
