Whirlpool has unveiled its refreshed W9 Series oven line-up, which will roll out in a new colourway, Star Dust Grey, showcased at Eurocucina.
The control panels have been completely updated with a 3.5-inch colour TFT with photorealistic making it more intuitive and easier to use. 6th Sense technology – Whirlpool’s version of AI – is built-in with over 60 recipes available that ensure a perfect result every time.
“For example, to cook a roast chicken, select 6th Sense, choose chicken and enter the weight, then the oven tells you what level to put the chicken on and you just need to press start. From there, the oven takes complete control of the cooking process, constantly monitoring and adapting the temperature and alerting you when the food is ready,” Whirlpool director of sales and marketing for Oceania, Liam Bryers told Appliance Retailer.
“Another example is cooking a leg of lamb. You can select the level of ‘doneness’ – whether it’s medium rare or well done – and if that’s how you’d like the meat cooked every time, you can store it in favourites and the oven will automatically remember your preference.”
On average, an oven can take up to 12 minutes to reach 200 degrees Celsius but with Whirlpool’s Ready to Cook function, the oven no longer needs to pre-heat before cooking, which saves both time and money.
“Users can put a ready-made lasagna in the oven, select the time they want the dish to be ready and the oven will do the rest,” Bryers said.
“Thanks to the new baffle design, the Cook Four function allows you to cook four different foods at the same time with no flavour transfusion because of the way the air moves around the cavity.
“A new pizza function can heat the oven to 310 degrees Celsius in 16 minutes and then cook a pizza in seven minutes.
“Unique to Whirlpool is the MultiSense probe that’s self-supporting which means it can be used for liquids or lasagnas and not just meat because it stands up on its own. Most probes only have one point that it senses but the MultiSense probe has four points to constantly monitor and adapt.
“Whirlpool also offers four levels of steam – 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% – with the ability to control the amount of steam being used.
“The hero three-in-one oven has been redeveloped and now has one of the biggest capacities on the market with 51 litres of usable capacity. It’s an oven, microwave oven and steam oven that can cook three foods simultaneously thanks to the Cook Three function. It also incorporates Crisp technology which means the crisp tray can reach 210 degrees Celsius in only two minutes. The crisp tray can be used to fry, roast, toast, bake and more, producing oven results at microwave speed.”
