Smooth touch

Appliances are often central features of a kitchen's design but as well as making a standout impression, they need to provide background support for the way you live.

The simple, contemporary lines of Westinghouse appliances from Electrolux conceal a range of features that make your life run smoothly, says assistant marketing manager Kirsty Jamieson.

"Westinghouse products bring an organised feel to a kitchen environment," says Jamieson. "The refrigerators are set out for optimum storage, dishwashers run extra-quietly to avoid distraction, and hobs can be wiped clean in an instant."

As with any good kitchen helpers, going the extra distance also counts. Westinghouse appliances feature touches that make a dinner party flow or let you know cooktop elements are safe at a glance.

"Selected Westinghouse dishwashers, for example, offer an easy-lift mechanism, allowing the top basket to be adjusted to accommodate over-size dinner plates and large platters without compromising on room needed for ten wine glasses," says Jamieson. "Our latest refrigerators, such as the Virtuoso, include a quick chill function for a last minute addition to the wine list. This function also prevents the contents freezing if accidentally left."

Hot surface indicators on the hobs and full electronic interfaces on Westinghouse ovens are other touches that ensure time in the kitchen is well spent, she says.
