Spotlight on Smeg appliances this week

Smeg appliances are this week’s feature product at Cooking Appliance Expo ’B9.

Smeg appliances are available in stylish white and brown, perfect for integrated kitchens.

The wall oven has four versatile cooking functions within the one unit: conventional heat, with top and bottom elements; true convection with a fan-forced hot air cooker; the conventional grill and the fan grill. Compactness and elimination of waste space are one of the outstanding features of the oven. Most have self-cleaning liners. The ovens do not need to be vented outside. The hobs are also compact and have the controls integrated into the same

panel, allowing greater utilisation of bench space. All appliances fit. flush with the joinery, with no ugly edges protruding. The price is a pleasant surprise too — they cost no more than five per cent more than the local product.
