The Fusion collection represents an encounter between glass and steel in a modern style displaying a sleek, high-tech finish. Featuring cutting-edge technology, functions and a contemporary look, the appliances in the Fusion line create a futuristic kitchen environment with a minimum yet sophisticated design.
The Fusion range encompasses an extensive variety of ovens, hobs, hoods, microwaves, cooling products and dishwashers, as well as a compact steamer and warming drawer.
The comprehensive range of Fusion built-in multifunction ovens helps in achieving a balance of traditional cooking and modern sophistication. The new ovens combine advanced user interfaces and Whirlpool’s 6th Sense technology. Whirlpool’s Ready2Cook – a convection system that claims to eliminate the need to pre-heat the oven – saves up to 20% of energy depending on the type of food and the number of dishes being prepared. Whirlpool’s Cook3 system also claims to save time and energy. A notable feature of the big 67-litre oven is the five flexible shelf positions to enable users to cook up to three separate dishes at the same time without mixing flavours and aromas.
The built-in oven range is complemented by Whirlpool’s AMW 597 Fusion Steam Oven offering a 34-litre capacity. The Fusion Steam Oven has an ‘A’ energy rating for economy and additional steam programmes for jet defrosting, reheating and dough proving. The integrated water tank also allows for greater design creativity and increases installation options.
Whirlpool’s Fusion microwaves are designed to be a combination of microwave and conventional oven technologies to offer quality cooking performance with speed. Cooking, crisping and steaming can be performed by selecting the 6th Sense ‘Steam’, ‘Crisp’ or ‘Reheat’ functions. It also claims to defrost food seven times faster than a conventional microwave oven.
The matching Fusion cooker hood showcases sleek and futuristic design and operates with the benefit of patented 6th Sense technology. The hood is equipped with sensors, leaving the user to turn it on and set it to the 6th Sense mode. The hood self-sets to run at just the right speed for the job in hand, and also claims to improve the room air quality by operating automatically when needed.
The hobs’ range consists of a variety of high-tech burners and accessories, as well as shapes, materials and dimensions that can be combined in a number of different configurations to suit their kitchen style. Induction cooking is also incorporated into this new hob collection, offering a range of benefits compared to conventional technologies.
Whirlpool’s new Fusion built-in fridges offer a choice of models to suit various kitchen spaces and layouts, as well as innovative and tailored storage using advanced 6th Sense Fresh Control cooling technology to keep food fresh up to twice as long. These highly efficient appliances have an ‘A+’ energy rating and LED lighting to guarantee energy savings.
Finally, there is a thirteen place setting, three level, triple ‘A’ rated built-in dishwasher that features new PowerClean Max using 6th Sense and AquaSteam technologies to deliver cleaning performance. Besides offering resource savings, it also washes with whisper quiet night-time performance of just 39 dB(A).
