A slimline dishwasher is a type of dishwasher that is narrower than standard or full-sized dishwashers. While a standard dishwasher typically has a width of around 24 inches (60 cm), a slimline dishwasher is more compact and usually measures about 18 inches (45 cm) in width. This makes slimline dishwashers a space-saving option, particularly suitable for smaller kitchens, apartments, or homes where space is limited.

• Multiple Wash Cycles:Dishwashers often offer various wash cycles, such as normal, heavy-duty, quick wash, eco-friendly, and more. Each cycle is designed for specific types of dishes and levels of soiling.

• Delayed Start: This feature allows you to set a timer to delay the start of the dishwasher cycle, helping you take advantage of off-peak energy hours or ensuring that the dishes finish washing at a specific time.

• Half-Load or Zone Wash: Some dishwashers have the ability to wash only the upper or lower rack, making it more energy-efficient for smaller loads.

• Adjustable Racks: Racks that can be adjusted in height or configuration to accommodate different sizes and types of dishes, pots, and pans.

• Smart Connectivity: Dishwashers with smart features can be controlled and monitored using a smartphone app. Some may also integrate with virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

• Child Lock: A safety feature that prevents the dishwasher door from being opened during a wash cycle, especially useful in households with small children.

• Water and Energy Efficiency: Dishwashers with high Energy Star ratings and low water consumption help reduce environmental impact and utility costs.

• Quiet Operation: Dishwashers equipped with sound insulation and quiet motors to minimize noise during operation.

• Cutlery Basket or Tray : Most dishwashers will come with either a cutlery basket or tray, which will alter the way you load and unload your dishwasher quite a bit. It's very important to understand which you'd prefer when purchasing.A cutlery basket is the more traditional style of storing cutlery in a dishwasher, with a (generally) removable basket that has holders for bulks of items. This is great for quickly loading the dishwasher, but can often result in less-than-ideal cleaning results if items are particularly close together.

• Sensor Dry : Sensors monitor various factors during a wash, such as the internal moisture level, to calculate when the load is dry. The cycle will automatically finish once the desired level of dryness has been met.

• Sensor Wash : A similar feature to Sensor Dry, dishwashers that have a Sensor Wash feature are capable of detecting when a load has been cleaned optimally, ending the wash cycle and moving on to the next stage of the programme. The result is reliably clean dishes and cutlery across a range of programmes.

Washer Dryer

• Anti-Crease : Appliances with an Anti-Crease function employ a number of different tactics to reduce the creasing of garments in the drum. Ways of reducing creasing include the drum alternating its rotation periodically, to keep clothes from tangling, or continuing to spin in intervals after a cycle has finished, to prevent garments from sitting still too long.

• Load Capacity : The amount of laundry a washing machine or tumble dryer can accommodate is calculated based on the weight, in kg, of dry items that can be placed into the drum. Whilst this figure represents the official capacity of the product, it is often advisable not to fully fill the drum - performance will be affected if overfilled. Washer dryers have separate capacities, depending on whether you are washing or drying. This is because the drying function requires additional airflow for optimal performance, resulting in a lower capacity than that of a wash cycle.

• Half Load : Appliances with a Half Load feature can detect how full the drum is, reducing energy and water consumption without affecting overall performance. This is a great feature for improving the efficiency of an appliance without affecting cycle results.

• Out of Balance Spin Control : The appliance has built-in measures to avoid a performance impact that often occurs if the appliance becomes unbalanced due to the high spin rate of the washer or dryer.

• Steam Programme : Appliances with a steam programme allow for short cycles that use steam to gently freshen and clean garments. Fibres are relaxed by the steam and easily penetrated, enabling a deeper clean. In addition, as the garment fibres are loosened during the steam process, creases are less likely to form during the programme cycle. Steam cleaning can be used to quickly refresh laundry for reuse, with an average cycle time of 20-30 minutes.

• SensorDry Technology : Many units have SensorDry technology which analyses the humidity within the dryer to determine the drying time needed for your clothes. These sensors will automatically adjust the time on your dry cycle accordingly.

• Variable Spin : This appliance is capable of manual selection of the spin speed of a cycle, offering additional customisation options.

• Variable Temperature : This appliance is capable of manual selection of the temperature of a cycle, offering additional customisation options.

• Fast Preheat: Quickly preheats the oven to save time.

• Child Lock: Prevents accidental oven operation, especially important for households with young children.

• Interior Lighting: Provides illumination inside the oven for better visibility.

• Catalytic Liners - Oven cavities with catalytic liners (also known as easy clean enamel) inside are easier to clean and maintain; the liner itself consists of a rough surface that catches grease and food spills. Heat generated from cooking burns away any residues, making the interior much easier to clean on a regular basis.Catalytic liners can be provided on the sides, back and roof of an oven cavity.

• Easy-Clean Enamel - Functionally similar to catalytic liners, ovens with easy-clean enamel interiors have a hard-wearing surface that prevents dirt and grease from sticking to it. Heat from cooking burns away excess grease in the process, making the surface easy to clean by simply wiping dirt away. Easy-clean enamel interiors are a part of the oven cavity itself, unlike catalytic liners.

• Flame Failure Safety Device (FFD) - Flame Failure Safety Devices monitor the gas supply to your cooker (providing your model has one) and safeguards against any potential leakage of gas. The second a flame is unnaturally extinguished, the FFD will cut off the gas supply to prevent any escaping into the air. Flame Failure Safety Devices are standard on any cooker or oven that uses gas cooking methods.

• Pyrolytic Self-cleaning Function - The ultimate in self-cleaning power and convenience. In a Pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle, the oven is heated to around 500°C. At that temperature, any deposits of grease are quickly reduced to a thin layer of ash, which can then be wiped away with a damp cloth to deep clean the oven. No need for detergents or back strain.

• Telescopic Shelves - These shelves are mounted on rails, allowing them to be easily pulled out for direct access. The shelf slides out until reaching a certain point, whereby the safety measures stop it from travelling any further. Telescopic shelves enable you to work with food in a safer and easier way.

• Slide and Hide Oven - refers to a unique oven door feature found in some models of ovens, particularly those produced by Neff. The Slide and Hide feature is designed to enhance convenience and accessibility in the kitchen, especially when it comes to accessing the oven cavity.

• LPG Convertible - can be converted to operate on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) instead of the default natural gas configuration. LPG, commonly known as propane or butane, is an alternative fuel source to natural gas and is often used in areas where natural gas is not readily available.
