Home & Lifestyle Spring 2017

M iele Australia presents its latest headroom rangehood, the ´Pearl, recent winner of an Australian 2017 Good Design Award. The Miele Pearl is designed to feature dimmable atmospheric lighting that allows it to become the focal point of the kitchen. Characteristic of headroom rangehoods is the pitch of the canopy, allowing even those who are tall plenty of room to peer down into pots and pans. The Miele Pearl has a 90cm wide canopy with a bowed sheet of toughened safety glass in a shade of white to match the brilliant white on Miele built-in appliances. The design is at its most striking when the atmospheric lighting integrated into the canopy is switched on. Miele’s Eco motor is powerful and energy-efficient. The LED light strip which provides downlighting is characterised by low consumption. As a result, the Pearl sports an A+ on the European energy label, the best rating awarded to rangehoods. This hood also goes about its work extremely quietly and can be operated in vented or recirculation mode. The Pearl features Miele’s automatic Con@ctivity 2.0. Whilst the user is free to concentrate on cooking, the rangehood automatically adjusts suction power to what is cooking on the cooktop below, ensuring a pleasant room climate. The Miele cooktop unit – and there are more than 10 compatible Miele cooktops to choose from – transmits its settings via an RF link to the extractor. The installation of Con@ctivity 2.0 is very simple and merely involves inserting the RF transmitter which comes with the extractor into its sheath. Users can also purchase a remote control as an optional accessory. The Miele DA 6996 W PEARL is on display at Miele Experience Centres around Australia and available to order through all Miele Authorised Retailers for an introductory selling price of $4,999.
