New Professional Home Appliances Updated
Pro-Style® Cooking Appliances are Changing The Pro-Look Gets a Sleek Update As professional looking appliances have gained popularity in luxury kitchens, they have often been mixed with sleek flush European style appliances. A Bosch or Asko dishwasher featuring a flush matching cabinet panel disappears into the cabinetry while nearby there is a Sub-Zero integrated built-in refrigerator with hidden hinges and door panels that match the adjacent cabinets. They're invisible as appliances and fit right in to the wall. Though it's not possible to do this with cooking appliances, manufacturers have made their cooktops and ranges much more sleek and contemporary-looking. This has become particularly noticeable recently, as even Professional Style appliances have become more flush, but still keep their Pro heritage. Check out the three entries below from Jenn-Air, Wolf, and Miele. Jenn-Air Jenn-Air's new 30" and 36" Pro-Style® cooktops have undergone a complete redesign. Not only have they added more power and new brass burners, but the surface of the cooktop itself is as near to flush as you can get without being inset into the counter. The heavy duty knobs still have a Pro look and feel, but they are somewhat less obtrusive. By the way, the term Pro-Style® is a registered Jenn-Air trademark. Wolf Wolf's new "M" Series Professional Oven still sports their signature red knobs, but also has touch electronic controls that work in conjunction with the knobs. Wolf has worked their magic by producing a jumbo oven with twin convection fans, yet it all fits -

Coming Soon - New Professional Style Appliances
Surprising New Pro-Look Appliances from Frigidaire See them Soon at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center One big surprise at the 2015 Design and Construction Week (KBIS/IBS) was the "pre-launch" of a new line of professional style appliances by Electrolux's Frigidaire brand. The look is definitely "pro-style". It's much more than we've seen in previous attempts at professional looking appliances by entry level mass brands. From a design perspective, we're predicting that this is going to be a home run. The industry could really use some attractive professional looking appliances in the mass brand categories. However, as always, consumers are the ones who make any new product launch a failure or a success. Pricing and features are key as Electrolux will need to keep the Frigidaire brand properly aligned with the other brands in their portfolio. Ranges debut first with retails from $1599 to $2699. The new Frigidaire Professional dishwasher is slated for a $1099 retail price, and has a 30 minute quick wash cycle. The Frigidaire Professional French-door refrigerator has all the sex appeal you'd expect in a free-standing pro-look model including the bulky tubular stainless handles you might find on a big built-in pro refrigerator, at a fraction of the price. The retail on this refrigerator will range from $3199 to $3499. All this means that you could outfit a kitchen with new Frigidaire Professional appliances (range, dishwasher, and refrigerator) for a bit less than $6K, or as much as $7.3K. As a nice bonus, all these appliances will -

Viking Tuscany Ranges at UAKC NEW Viking Tuscany Ranges Famous for their cooking products, Viking Range Co. made famous the professional style range built for home use.

It's a great combination of Viking Professional performance with a classic old world look, and a standout in your kitchen.

Rangetop vs Cooktop
Choosing the right cooking surface unit Buying a New Rangetop vs a New Cooktop What?? Aren't rangetops and cooktops really the same thing? No, they're definitely not! For sure, if you ever try to replace a rangetop with a cooktop or vice versa you're going to find out very quickly that they are substantially different. In short, think of a rangetop as the upper portion of a range, including front facing knobs in the cabinet front. Think of a cooktop as a surface unit only, with the knobs on the countertop surface.Though you could find an electric rangetop if you looked hard enough (I think Viking and Electrolux make them), rangetops are most likely to have gas burners rather than electric elements. On the other hand, both gas and electric cooktops are commonly available in nearly all brands. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Well, since rangetops have the knobs in the front, they are very accessible, and make sense in a universal design, or for anyone who might have a difficulty reaching knobs that are on the countertop, especially the knobs in the back. Similarly, you might want to have knobs on the top to keep them away from small children. Remember though, all knobs require a push-and-turn movement to operate regardless of where the knobs are located. Also, If you're trying for a Pro-Style look, the rangetop is going to have more of this professional,restaurant type look. But, -

Of course, Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) is your best choice for appliances in the Los Angeles market. Their professional delivery and installation crew is factory-trained and certified. Clear the way. Measure door openings to make sure that appliances will fit. Clear a path so that installers can navigate to the install location and make sure they have a place for their tools. Double check the appliance dimensions with the space so that you're sure that everything will fit. Installers may need to turn and maneuver the appliance to get it into the space. If you are providing any cords, hoses, etc. have them available at the location. Make sure that 208/240 cords are correct for your receptacle (ie. 3 prong or 4 prong). Dishwasher installation is to existing plumbing and electric. Verify that a 120v. electric receptacle is within reach as well as a drain, and a separate hot water hookup. The dishwasher drain hose is usually connected through the garbage disposer. If this is the case in your installation, the disposer should be within reach of the dishwasher drain hose.It's a good idea to call any unusual conditions to the attention of the installation crew ahead of time so that they can be prepared to deal with the situation when they arrive on -
