Renovating your kitchen provides the ideal opportunity to replace old appliances. As well as updating the look of your kitchen, you will benefit from the latest appliance technology and appreciate the energy efficiency of new models.

The owners of the new Poggenpohl kitchen featured on these pages specified Fisher & Paykel Iridium stainless steel cooking appliances and integrated DishDrawers. Raechel and Stephen Auld say they have used Fisher & Paykel products in the past, and have been particularly pleased with their look and performance.

"Fisher & Paykel appliances were our first choice," they say. "We love the aesthetics the sleek, clean lines and the non-marking Iridium stainless steel finish has a lot of appeal to a family. We have also found the products extremely reliable in the past efficient and easy to operate.

"Other factors that influenced our decision include the wide variety of choices within the line-up, and the fact that they represent value for money, which is always an important consideration."

The owners also specified Fisher & Paykel appliances for their laundry.

Iridium stainless steel appliances in the new kitchen include the Astro E built-in oven. This oven features a full range of multifunction capabilities, and includes a powerful 3300W grill element. It also comes with a pizza stone and paddle, and an oven-to-table glass baking tray. Self-cleaning liners make it easy to keep clean.

To complement the oven, there is a new Titan CG901M five-burner gas cooktop. This cooktop incorporates two rapid burners, a brass wok burner and a simmer burner for cooking delicate sauces. Trivets recessed into the unit make it easy to move pots and pans between elements, and spills of up to four litres are contained neatly within the cooktop surface.

The kitchen also features Fisher & Paykel's Apex RH900CM Iridium rangehood, which has a powerful three-speed, centrifugal motor. Easy-to-reach controls are at the front of the canopy.

For easy washing up, the kitchen features twin Fisher & Paykel integrated DishDrawers. The innovative DishDrawer technology allows you to have two independent dishwashers so you can separate your glassware and crockery from your pots and pans. One drawer can be set to a delicate cycle, the other to heavy duty.This allows you to clean your dishes efficiently without damaging them. Each DishDrawer has a large, seven-place setting capacity.
