ORLANDO, FL (January 2006) - In recent years, one of the key questions for those designing, renovating or re-equipping a kitchen has been a rather simple one: stainless steel, black or white appliances? But thanks to design innovator Jenn-Air®, there are now several more choices, both in stainless steel and new finishes that make a decidedly different and distinctive style statement.
The Oiled Bronze suite, available in the spring of 2007
Jenn-Air® brand's complete and varied line of kitchen appliance collections, or suites, has been expanded to include a new Oiled Bronze finish that offers a warm, richly hued alternative to stainless steel. This breakthrough line joins Jenn-Air® brand's commercially inspired Pro-Style® Stainless suite, sleek Euro-Style Stainless suite and modernist Floating Glass suite to bring high style and high performance to a wide variety of kitchen styles. "The new Oiled Bronze collection gives consumers the option of outfitting an entire kitchen with this warm finish to create a fully coordinated look, or to mix and match with any of our other style options to create a more eclectic look,"; said Deborah O'Connor, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Jenn-Air®.
Combining the rich, traditional color of bronze sculpture and fixtures with stainless steel handles, Oiled Bronze offers a new style and color palette that is equally at home in traditional and modern kitchen designs. "Kitchen designers tell us the use of a warm, natural tone in a metallic finish is something that moves kitchen design forward,"; adds O'Connor. "It's a totally different look that offers a fresh choice in the design and appliance selection process.";
The Oiled Bronze suite, available in the spring of 2007, will include gas and electric cooktops, wall ovens, warming drawers, select refrigerators and dishwashers. Suggested retail prices will range from $949.00 for the 30"; Electric Radiant Cooktop to $3399.00 for an Electric Double Wall Oven.
For a sleek stainless steel design, the Jenn-Air® Euro-Style Stainless kitchen suite provides Jenn-Air® performance with more graceful contours. The elegant "towel bar"; shape of its handles, streamlined electronic touch control panels and subtle, curved front design give the Euro-Style stainless suite a decidedly sophisticated look. The Euro-Style Stainless collection includes gas and electric cooktops, ranges, wall ovens, microwave ovens, hoods, refrigerators and dishwashers. Additional entertaining essentials offered in the collection include under counter refrigerators, wine cellars, warming drawer, convenience ovens and ice machines.
The industry-exclusive Jenn-Air® Floating Glass appliance finish shines with a clean, high-gloss surface and stainless steel accents. Available in black or white, Floating Glass appliances features a smooth, sleek glass front that gives kitchens a crisp, contemporary look.
"Floating Glass also offers a versatile and stylish design alternative to stainless steel"; notes O'Connor. "Depending on how it is used, this contemporary, high-gloss surface can be made to blend in with cabinetry or be the star attraction in a kitchen."; Floating Glass is offered in gas and electric cooktops, ranges, wall ovens, microwave ovens, warming drawers, refrigerators and dishwashers.
For those who want the power and performance of commercial style appliances and a look that adapts to a variety of home kitchens with hard-to-find options such as a free-standing refrigerator, the Jenn-Air® Pro-Style® Stainless suite is an ideal choice. Featuring industrial grade stainless steel, heavy-duty diamond-etched handles and oversized easy-grip knobs, Pro-Style® Stainless is available in cooktops, ranges, wall ovens, microwave ovens, kitchen ventilation, warming drawers, refrigerators and dishwashers.
Since the introduction of the first self-ventilated cooktop in 1961 and downdraft ventilated range in 1965, Jenn-Air® has consistently built on its reputation as a technology and design innovator. Its selection of style options includes two distinct stainless steel collections and two cutting edge finishes: Floating Glass and Oiled Bronze. From downdraft cooktops, wall ovens and professional-style ranges to dishwashers, refrigerators and such entertaining essentials as warming drawers, built-in ice machines and wine chillers, Jenn-Air® offers a complete line of major kitchen appliances.
