Kitchen integration

When ordering new kitchen will have to decide which of the appliances should be built and which are free-standing. This question is not only aesthetic but also financial - in fact similar in specifications built model because the same manufacturer is on average 20-30% more expensive. It's not even that built-in appliances - is a luxury item, whose presence is considered a sign of good taste. This is a separate class of devices, having a number of structural differences. Traditional gas and electric refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers in the variant "solo" dictate some limitations: between them and the furniture needed to leave a gap of 2-3 cm, or vibration from the washing machine can shake furniture and warm from the oven - or deform it even cause a fire. Built-in models have a reasonable degree of hydro-, sound, vibration and insulation are rigidly attached to the furniture and then covered the facades in whole or in part. The vast majority of modern kitchen (with the exception of only the most cost options) involves insertions of at least hob and oven. This is not only beautiful but also practical - in the absence of joints and cracks is much easier to keep clean. If after a few years you may want to update the furniture in the kitchen, built-in appliances can not be changed - its life is usually somewhat longer. High quality equipment is designed for 5 or even 10 years of operation, dust and dirt on it almost does not come - because it is hidden under the sink or facades. If at the time of replacement of furniture, it is not morally outdated and you do not get bored - it can be dismantled and built into the new set. However, do not necessarily incorporate all the instruments, they are combined with the technique of "solo". The choice depends on your preferences and financial opportunities, but there are certain priorities. Consider the major groups built-in appliances and their appropriateness for incorporation. Hobs This is perhaps the first and necessary kitchen unit. By and large, we can dispense with oven, microwave or coffee maker, but imagine a kitchen without a hob (gas, electric or glass lokeramicheskoy) is impossible. These devices are well-deserved lead in the list of built-in appliances - even the ascetic bachelor kitchen needs at least two burners. There will be a gas version, electric or combined - depends on whether they brought to your apartment or gas is provided only power. The question of what to choose: on the hob or traditional oven with increasingly resolved in favor of the first. Hob fits in the plane of table top, making the furniture together. This is not just beautiful, but practical - the horizontal joints with minimal countertop and sealed, and the vertical clearance is not at all, so keep working area clean much easier. New opportunities and geometry in the kitchen - in fact standing gas or electric ovens have standard dimensions, and the hob is easy to find virtually any size and shape and do not necessarily have the above oven. You can select units of different brands, to place at different levels and even in different parts of the kitchen. In the end, the oven can not be buying - a sort of savings. If you are sure that you will not bake, and you do not need better spend more money on the most convenient and quality hob. Gas cooking surface exhibit a wide variety of forms and types of burners: from flamboyant surface with one burner (Foster) to 5-6 burners. Standard four surfaces are all manufacturers. In addition to the usual rectangular placement, many surfaces, in which the burners are a diamond (GN643EFXR, Samsung for $ 200). Manufacturers offer a wide range, based on the premises of various sizes and shapes. For small kitchens designed surface shape of a "domino", corner model, which also take up little space. If the kitchen is spacious enough, you can afford a stylish and convenient option of a linear arrangement of the four burners (Foster). ELECTRONIC and gas-control system have already become familiar attribute of the gas surface. Recently, more and more models are equipped with the ignition system with one hand, which is even more convenient. Some manufacturers have a model not only from the side, but with the front running - that is, pens located at the top, in the same plane as the burner (eg Best Chef). Ceramic hob - modern, practical and convenient option for those who have in the house provided is not a gas and electric. Absolutely smooth and not prone to scratches glass ceramic not only looks beautiful and blends in with the furniture of your kitchen, but also easy to clean. Stand built-in models from $ 600, they are in the range of Bosch, Franke, Siemens, Ardo, Ariston, Electrolux, Gorenje, Beko, Whirlpool, Samsung. The most common variant of the surface in the four burners of various diameters, but there are models in which the two of them "adapt" under the bowl, extending along the diameter (Samsung, eyelid). Quick-cooking burner Hi-light reaches its maximum effectiveness after 3 seconds after ignition. Producers seek to simplify and automate the process of cooking, supplying ceramic hob touch control, timer, child protection, and temporarily blocked the control panel. One of the most advanced models EH77S502E (Siemens), besides the above, has a function for increasing the power powerBoost for all burners, sensor cooking bratSensor, color screen and a residual heat indicator for each burner. If you clear the dishes and accidentally forget to turn off the burner, this miracle of technology will automatically turn it off, easy to use and maintain the regime of food in the form of heat. Combination cooking surfaces are addressed to those who are willing and able to cook on gas as well as on electricity. As examples are models that combine the three gas and one electric hotplate, as well as two gas burners and two glass-heating zone (lid). Let's say you have chosen induction cooking surfaces (gas, combined or glass ceramic). Instead of a detached slab of the old type in your kitchen will be beautiful, modern, functional and safe to use the device. Next question - what to replace the oven, that is, the lower part of the traditional plates, from which you refused. Think about whether to embed the oven (so correctly called a separate oven), it is not necessary - a variant of "solo" they do not produce. Therefore, the question boils down to whether you need this unit. The answer depends on you - if you are at least several times a year preparing a holiday turkey or pie - worth to buy it. The oven can partially replace the microwave oven with grill and convection (for baking), but in this case is somewhat affected taste of dishes. In general, the oven you can buy, and later, and the first time, do a cooking surface. But since this can only be built model when ordering food must be provided under her niche. Please note that prior to the date of purchase niche will open - to mask its facade or door, and then removed without damaging the general view of the kitchen, it is impossible. With regard to technical equipment ovens, the minimum requirement is the presence of the fan to cool the body: it protects from heat next to the furniture. Doors should have a high level of insulation, which reduces the temperature of the outer surface. Standard is a double-glazed oven door is an innovation - a triple (Gorenje), which completely eliminates the possibility of burns. In the models Best CHEF-glass oven door and control panel made of Plexiglas, which simplifies the cleaning process. Removable inner glass oven door can be easily removed and set back. To do so, just unscrew the two screws. The modern pace of life dictates the demand for the oven with the function of fast food - compact devices that combine the oven and microwave oven (a popular model SQ1 59STR, Samsung for $ 680) or the oven and steamer - HBC36D750 (Siemens). Unequaled in its oven liftMatic HB76P570 (Siemens) - it is designed for mounting to a wall at the upper kitchen cabinets. Thanks to liftMatic dish on the sliding platform is lowered by pressing a key. Extendable platform and control panel can be blocked. Some ovens have inside bioceramic coatings, feature steam cleaning and catalytic panel that prevents contamination of convectors (Samsung). The original technology Twin Convection (Samsung) to divide the oven into two parts, use two of the convector and simultaneously prepare two dishes at different temperatures and in different modes, while avoiding the mixing of odors. Two fans raspredelyayutzhar evenly throughout the oven, which ensures perfect cooking with uniform propekaniem. Models equipped with automatic fire (protection from fire), two kinds of heating (upper and lower), a grill with a convection heating feature dishes, defrosting and keep food in a warm state (Universal Plus, Siemens). Pen-regulators may be "sunken", which not only facilitates the process of cleaning the oven, but also allows the technique is ideally combined with any kitchen design. Telescopic (ie, sliding) direction is very convenient - for example, can turn a dish or to check if the cake is ready, without removing trays from the oven. Robust construction ensures stability and safety, durability, and also allows you to save enamel oven (Gorenje, BestChef). For fresh air hood became a fixture kitchen. Of course it did not affect the quality of food, but it creates a comfortable environment for their preparation. Technically, this is the easiest plant in the kitchen, but it provides virtually unlimited opportunities for designers - except classical, create a model of conical dome (lid), cylindrical (Franke) forms of metal, glass ornament that truly serve the kitchen. Experts advise to build hoods in the kitchen furniture only if the dimensions of the room is very small - or even the most beautiful extract will "push" and visually reduce the space. In addition, it can be placed over the cabinet, which instead has a little kitchen utensils. Many of today's models can be used as connecting to ventilation and in the recirculation mode - then use the replacement filters. It's quite expensive (due to the cost of filters), but the only option if the output of the chimney or on the street is impossible. Cassette filters (Veco), absorb odors, they can even be washed in the dishwasher. It also uses removable oil filters in a metal casing (Fasteel). Almost all hoods are equipped with lights that will further illuminate the cooktop. Convenient telescopic (retractable) modeli.Shirinu extract (from 50 to 11 Osm) is selected to fit the hob - the unit is better positioned strictly above it. In Ukraine, you can buy drawing production Franke, Fasteel, Beko, Best. Of the features of different models can reduce the absorption of air around the perimeter, e-governance (Fasteel) and the so-called protection from fingerprints, thanks to special technology to the steel surface does not show traces of touch. Dishwashers and laundresses in polednee time dishwashers moved from the whims of Sybarites necessary appliances. In the kitchen, naturally, it should be located near the pipe and riser - usually a place close to the sink. Nearby stands and put the washing machine if you decide to place her in the kitchen. Of course, you can purchase and free-standing model. But please note that we will leave all of the same gaps in the 2-3 cm, not only on the sides, but from above - between the upper surface machines and table top, otherwise the vibration of the working machinery would destroy the furniture, and make noise at work. If suddenly the lead-in, or drain hoses tear - the furniture will be irrevocably damaged. Built-in appliances equipped with a system of hydro-acoustic and mounted so that vibration is minimal. Aggregates mask the top tabletop and front - doors that open only when loading - unloading machines. User-friendly features are delayed start mode (eg, 3, b, 9, 24), Power Save water and detergent, turbosushki interesting feature - it provides quick drying and the normal temperature of dishes - it can be removed immediately after shutdown. There is also a protection system that shuts off the water in case of leaks from the hose, the function of protection of children, preventing accidental changing of pre-selected programs. Another technique is most often a refrigerator stands in the kitchen, away from the main cooking area, so you build in much less than the above mentioned technique. However, if the kitchen is small, the built-in refrigerator - a good decision. Firstly, not focusing on attention, it is not as pressing for its size. Secondly, in the small kitchen and so many household appliances and furniture - a little, so close the door facade, it is easier to sustain a single look and feel of the room. Range of built-in refrigerators are much smaller than the stand-alone, but you can pick the model from the very tiny volume (by the way, they do just built) to large two-door units side-by-side. In this segment presented technique Candy, Ariston, ARG 585, Whirlpool, Zanussi, Beko. Microwaves are also rarely build in, but some manufacturers fill this niche, and - for example, Samsung, Bosch offers a model with more features cost from $ 280. If desired, you can incorporate into the kitchen and small household appliances from a range of brands Candy, Siemens: food processors, coffee machines, coffee machines and even ice maker and a wardrobe for heating cookware. According to the general trend for the built-in equipment - the future!
