Placement of Wall Ovens
Finding the Ideal Location for Your Wall Oven Many customers spend hours on the internet, and in showrooms researching wall ovens for their new kitchen. Should it be a single oven, double oven, or combination oven/microwave? Is convection important? What about steam? HOLD ON!! First things first! You need to have a kitchen layout, before you begin the selection process. Where will the oven or ovens be located, and are you going to have the requisite power available? Not too high nor too low, but just right for YOU. Unfortunately, wall ovens too often get placed either too high or too low for convenient operation. Since it's a new installation, why should you settle? You don't want an oven control panel so high that you need to be on your tiptoes to operate it. Nor do you want one so low that your back goes into spasms every time you place an item on the lower rack. Take a moment before deciding on the perfect oven to find the perfect location for the oven. New oven designs are available so that you can also choose among traditional drop down oven doors, side swing doors, or even French doors. Click below for blogs covering: Appliance trends French door and side swing ovens Would one of these new options work well for you? Here are a few choices to consider: Microwaves are now often finding new places to fit in the kitchen. Counter height is ideal, but not always practical. Undercounter is -

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, -

Freestanding Range vs Slide-In Range
What's the Difference Should you buy a slide-in or a freestanding range?Find out at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Freestanding A freestanding range will have its control panel and knobs rising from the back of the range. It is finished on both sides and in a typical installation, a freestanding range is pushed back against the wall in a 30" space with adjacent standard 24" deep cabinet. Also, since the sides are finished, a freestanding range could easily be installed at the end of a cabinet run. However, they don't work well in an island installation since the control panel sticks up in the back and is unfinished on the back. Slide-In To the contrary, a slide-in range has the controls in the front so there is no back panel, and it works well in an island installation. The sides are not finished, so without an accessory end panel they cannot be installed at the end of a cabinet run. There is normally a lip on each side of a slide-in range that overlaps the countertop, giving the range a built-in look and eliminating the space between range and adjacent counter. In addition, slide in ranges do not slide all the way to the back, thus allowing for a strip or moulding behind the range further enhancing the built-in look. Though choices in slide-in ranges are limited and they cost more than equivalent freestanding ranges, slide-in ranges are an excellent -

Jenn-Air Gas Cooktop and Vent Hood
Jenn-Air's Dynamic Cooking Duo Get them from Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Cooktop JGC1536BS This new gas cooktop is so great that it deserves a new vent hood to go with it (see below). It's an awesome pairing. The JGC1536BS 36" gas cooktop from Jenn-Air is both powerful and beautiful. It's not very often that folks think of a Pro-Style cooktop as being attractive, but the flush appearing low profile surface along with the new streamlined knobs make a styling statement that is unmatched in the Pro-Style genre, and that's just the beginning. Let's talk about performance. With a powerful 19,000 btu dual-stacked power burner and a simmer burner that can go as low as 800 btu, this cooktop covers the full range of cooking requirements for even the most demanding chefs. The single point electronic ignition saves energy and includes safe flame-sensing™ electronic re-ignition.

GE Advantium
Speed Cooking at Work See it at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Many of us probably think of microwave cooking when we hear the term Speed Cooking, and microwave assist is certainly a part of today's speed cooking systems. However, it is a mistake to think of these products as merely microwave ovens. What is Advantium? Here's how GE describes this technology: Advantium technology harnesses the power of light. The outside of the food is cooked like a conventional oven, with radiant heat produced by halogen bulbs above and below the food. This halogen-produced heat receives a boost of microwave energy. The result? Foods brown and cook evenly and fast, while retaining their natural moisture. So, Advantium uses halogen bulbs to quickly heat food with conventional radiant type heat. At the same time, the Advantium oven receives a microwave boost from the oven's magnetron tube. The results are amazing. You get all the advantages of conventional cooking- evenly cooked and browned, moist food, with the speed provided by powerful halogen lights assisted with microwave energy. And for those items that you wish to cook conventionally or with convection, this double oven unit has a full-sized oven with convection in addition to the upper Advantium oven. See GE's Advantium for yourself at one of the Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) showrooms in Studio City or Calabasas, Ca. GE Profile™ Series 30 in. Combination Double Wall Oven with Convection and Advantium® Technology PT9800SHSS Features Speedcook oven 120V (upper oven) Enjoy oven-quality -

New Range Hoods
Perimetric Hoods from Jenn-Air Available Now at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center When Jenn-Air launched its Super Premium appliances in 2009, one of the eye-catching products was a dramatic new vent hood. Not only did it have a striking appearance, but it incorporated a new venting methodology - Perimetric Venting. Jenn-Air and other high end brands available at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center are now offering more hoods featuring this advanced system. Here's what Jenn-Air has to say about how this venting system works: Traditional ventilation hoods are open with visible filters. By contrast, our perimetric ventilation hoods hide the filters behind a cover, and only thin openings around the cover’s edges are visible. What you may not know is that this design deliberately focuses airflow by drawing air through the thin slots. This speeds up the air to rapidly capture cooking vapors. While traditional ventilation hoods centralize the capture area directly underneath the blower motor, perimetric ventilation distributes the capture area around the edges of the cover, nearer to the edges of the ventilation hood. This helps capture cooking vapors from above the entire cooking surface. This design deliberately focuses airflow by drawing air through the thin slots... to rapidly capture cooking vapors. The combination of focused airflow and distributed capture area delivers the performance and efficiency of our perimetric ventilation while keeping its design elegant and understated. You can explore Jenn-Air's perimetric hoods and other major appliances and plumbing fixtures at Universal Appliance and Kitchen -

Compare Appliances Before Buying
All appliances are not the same ...even when they appear to be Get the facts at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center One of the enduring myths about appliances is that if appliance brand A and B are manufactured by the same company or in the same factory, then those appliances are the same. Electrolux owns and makes Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Electrolux Icon brands. GE owns and makes Hotpoint, GE Café, Profile, and Monogram brands. BSH owns and makes Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau brands. Whirlpool owns and manufactures Amana, Jenn-air, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Whirlpool. At their laundry factory in Clyde, Ohio they build Whirlpool washing machines as well as Maytag washers. They're both great brands and each serves a specific niche in the marketplace. However, some people make the assumption that because they are made in the same factory a Maytag and Whirlpool washer are necessarily the same. Below are a comparably priced Maytag Maxima Front Load Washer and Whirlpool Smart Front Load Washer. MAYTAG MAXIMA® FRONT LOAD WASHER WITH STEAM AND POWERWASH® SYSTEMMHW8100DW Whirlpool Smart Front Load Washer with 6th Sense Technology: Stainless SteelModel: WFL98HEBU Are they the same? It's like asking if you and your brother or sister are the same as you. You may have a lot of similarities, but are you really the same? A leading consumer magazine rated the Maytag machine #1, saying that the Whirlpool performed nearly as well as the Maytag, and they gave the Whirlpool a "Best Buy" based on its price and
