The embedded technique has already been so firmly in life, which is capable of setting tone in the kitchen fashion. In the last decade, furniture for kitchens with built-in equipment Many are perceived as a standard of beauty. However, the appearance of the advantage of these devices is not exhausted.
Embedded equipment allows you to approach the design of kitchen interiors with a fundamentally new position with the absolute majority of kitchens (if you do not take into account budget options) are equipped with built-in technology. What is the secret of its extraordinary popularity? Here, probably, functionality and aesthetics are crucial. Instant once and for all, "strictly in its place", such an equipment allows you to effectively organize a kitchen space and use each centimeter.
Built-in models produce many companies of kitchen equipment manufacturers. Products are most popular in our country, known under the trademarks of AEG-Electrolux, Blomberg, Bosch, Franke, Gaggenau, Hansa, Imperial, Kppersbusch, Miele, Neff, Siemens, Zigmund Shtain, Ardo, Ariston, Candy, Indesit, Zanussi (Italy), Beko (Turkey), Fagor, Smeg, Teka (Spain), Electrolux (Sweden), Gorenje (Slovenia), Viking, Whirlpool (USA). Gradually master the manufacture of embedded models of the company from Russia and CIS countries. This, for example, ZVI (Russia) and "Hephaest" (Belarus). Growing and assortment. Today, you can find not only well-known cookies or brass cabinets, but also completely new types of equipment. We will tell about the "diversity of species" in this article.
Circling, with steam!
DG 4000.
(Miele) has a useful amount of 30l among new types of embedded equipment, which is increasingly confident in the kitchen, the microwave ovens and steamers appear. Yves the first turn is a microwave oven. Their assortment has several dozen models today. Built-in low-level microwaves cost 7- 9 thousand rubles. (For comparison: ordinary, not embedded microwave ovens can be found for sale in 1.3-1.5 thousand rubles.). These devices do not differ in large capacity (usually it does not exceed 15-20 liters) and the presence of any additional functions. Solid side of the price line - the "top model" costing several tens of thousand rubles. Such, for example, M 637-1 EC (Miele), AMW 545 (WHIRLPOOL), KM 9800 EM (AEG-Electrolux), B 7742 NO (NEFF). Such a technique is most often completed on the principle of "all inclusive": it also has a grill, and convection regime, and convenient electronic control, and "memory" on your favorite recipes. A closure of the working chamber can be 30-35 and even 40l (as in the AMW 545 model). In fact, such a microwave is not much different from the electric oven and in most cases can be replaced with success.
There are completely built-in microwave ovens and manufactured with the ability to build. The latter means that the furnace can be installed in the kitchen furniture, if a special system of fasteners will be purchased (fasteners are not designed not for all microwave models). Ot, whether it is provided whether it is included in the kit, and if sold separately, then how much costs (usually 3-6 thousand rubles), you need to ask the seller.
Almost all wind turbines are manufactured in the embedded version. Therefore, the "late sporal" owners may arise: where to position the device you like. Miele offers a convenient accessory-metal casing (price-about 5 thousand rubles for its model DG 2651 (about 5 thousand rubles). It makes it possible to use embedded technique as separately standing.
Washing slate my native ...
Some owners prefer to install an embedded technique not in one solid "kitchen array", and in separate cabinets, most of the models of embedded equipment have strictly defined dimensions. This is done in order to make it easier to install them in the modular kitchen furniture compartments, which are also standardized. All embedded techniques are usually produced by a 60cm wide. Avt If you want to acquire non-standard models, you are waiting for certain difficulties. For example, the number of 90cm width panels hardly exceeds 5% of the total number of models presented in the market. And, with rare exceptions, the "wide" models belong to a sufficiently expensive technique. If the "ordinary" electrical cooking panel can be found for sale in 5-6 thousand rubles, then a model-wide 90cm wide model costs 18-20 thousand rubles. The same picture with ovens width 90cm. Models worth 17-20 thousand rubles., For example AKG
Narrow dishwashers are designed for 8-9 sets of tableware 659 IX (Whirlpool), MB 91 IX (Ariston), FP 319 x (Candy) can be considered relatively inexpensive, while the oven the overall width costs almost three times cheaper.
It is not easier to select small-sized devices - they are also produced a bit. Avteda such a technique could be very useful, especially the owners of kitchens in Khrushchev. Yves first of all it concerns dishwashers. They are often acquired by "after" to the main equipment, when all places in the kitchen have long been distributed long ago. It is not surprising that the compact dishwasher with a width of 45cm is very popular, much more than, say, narrow washing machines. The cost of such equipment, such as SRV 46A63 (Bosch), ESL 4131 (Electrolux), LI 420 (Ariston), GIS 1380 x (Blomberg), DIS 1510 (BEKO), ADG 658 (Whirlpool), fluctuates within 13-17 thousand. rub.
In one column
Many manufacturers produce embedded microwave ovens and ovens (steamers) in a single stylistic design. Such model lines are practically all major firms. Therefore, the designers of kitchen interiors advise to place an oven and a microwave oven in a common rack, combining them, therefore, in the complete composition (sometimes there is still a coffee machine to be joined). It looks spectacular and allows you to more ergonomically organize a kitchen space. Down send the device used less frequently; At the breast level is the one that is needed more often. Thus, when the devices are located in the column, the hostess will have to be much less likely than when placing the technique under the table top.
For cooking panels, the problem of insufficient or excess width is solved with the help of Domino modular systems. Manufacturers offer sections (modules) having standard size in width and depth of embedding (usually 3050cm). Theoretically, this allows component of the cooking panels as much as large size, and even with different methods of heating (gas, electricity). Modular systems "Domino" produce many manufacturers of both expensive brands (Miele, Gaggenau, Aeg-Electrolux, NEFF, Siemens) and budget (Ardo, Ariston, Blomberg, Bosch, Gorenje, Hansa, Whirlpool). More about the domino system can be found in N 5 of our magazine for 2006.
Little wardrobe or big oven?
If each year produces new models of microwave ovens with an increasing capacity and a broader spectrum of functions, then among brass cabinets, on the contrary, new compact models appear. For example, the dimensions of the HBC 84K550 model (BOSCH) are 454595 531mm (HDSH), and the model MEE 5370 X (Blomberg) is 460592507mm. At the same time, not only grill and convection are provided in the oven, but also a built-in microwave-wave generator. A result, the difference between the "big" and multifunctional microwave oven and the compact ovens becomes invisible.
An interesting design of the built-in refrigerator offers Norcool (Norway). Its CORNER FRIDGE refrigerator has an extended hexagon form and is specifically designed for installation in the corner of the room. With a minimum occupied area (about 1m2), its volume is a whole 1200l. At the same time, the problem of filling the corner space of the kitchen or the living room is solved, as a rule, it is difficult to place furniture or technique in it so that it is convenient to use it.
What do you see? Something embedded!
Another interesting model-embedded gas oven Outdoor (Viking). It is designed to install outdoors, for example on a terrace of a country house. Allows you to make cooking dishes right on the street without any problems.
You can cook with the TePan panel without a saucepan and frying pan among cooking panels of the year of the year are the models "TePan" for the preparation of Japanese and Chinese dishes. This, for example, Tepanyaki, Tepanplatte (Miele), Teppan Yaki (AEG-Electrolux). This cooking panel is one large stainless steel burner. Products are placed directly to its hot surface. According to tradition, they are prepared with almost without adding oil or fat, in their own juice. The center of the Konfork "TePan" is achieved the maximum temperature, along the edges, the heating decreases, so the external zones are ideal for bringing the dish until ready and maintained in heated state. There are models with rectangular (yaki) and round shape (Tepanplatte). Rectangular bordered by a perimeter with a groove, which prevents the liquid from entering the worktop or the built-in bargaining hob.
They diverse our life
Cabinet for
Preheating the dishes In addition to its main function, it is also suitable for defrosting products, and for the preparation of layout, the range of embedded kitchen appliances is continuously expanding - actually remained at least one type of instruments that are not presented in the embedded version. For example, along with refrigerators and ovens a few years ago, embedded kitchen combines appeared. One of which combine MK 7 EK 20 (Siemens). It is made as an element of the domino modular system. It is convenient because practically does not occupy the useful area of the table top. After operating position, the device is closed by a casing that can be used as a working surface.
An interesting novelty offers Siemens. This is a wardrobe for heating dishes (model HW 140560). Such techniques are widely used by professionals, and household models are still rare. The cabinet includes a retractable metal baking tray equipped with a flat heating element.
Compact ice generator Its direct opposite is an Norcool ice generator. This fairly compact device (592 460581mm) serves to prepare food ice in cubes. About 12min goes to the entire freezing cycle. The device can be a good addition to the refrigerator, because the model with integrated ice generators has not yet been widespread, and the range of such devices is small. Eauza is a small refrigerator with a ice generator on the market and not to find at all.
Built-in water treatment machine "Aqua Pura" (model CWP 60) is represented by the company
Quarterial technique also belongs to a whole series of fraternity of the German company Ritter. These devices are available in several modifications - in the form of both folding products mounted in the kitchen table drawer and suspended and folding structures. In addition to them, Ritter's assortment includes embedded kitchen scales.
The only thing that still limits the widespread introduction of embedded kitchen appliances is a relatively high price. The cooking panels, brass cabinets and other devices equipped with a high-efficient ventilation system, about 20-30% more expensive than its separate analogs. If we add costs for its installation and connection, as well as the cost of furniture, the amount of the furniture, the amount is rather small, from several tens to several hundred thousand rubles. It is not surprising that many of our fellow citizens still perceive embedded kitchen appliances as a symbol of luxury, and manufacturers offer this technique mainly in the middle and highest price range. But many consumers share the view that order in the kitchen and the pleasure received from the cooking process are worth the money spent on the technique.
