The Home Appliance & Lighting Blog

I like this blogger, Steve, blogging for Yale Appliance in Boston, MA. at
The Home Appliance & Lighting Blog.

I think he is a straight shooter who would give an honest answer to an appliance question.

Try him and let me know.

Any one who reads this blog with any regularity knows how fond I am of Miele dishwashers. Take a look at this post on
The 20 Minute Dishwasher.

New Wolf E-Series Ovens - Flush with Cabinet Doors!

Below is the email I recently sent to Wolf regarding their intriguing new ovens, the E-Series.























Dear Wolf customer service,

I am interested in the New E-Series ovens that are shown mounted flush with cabinet doors, and have some technical questions:

Designers have been advised for years to keep cabinet doors AWAY from oven doors. Now you are showing them almost touching. It's a great look...But:

How have you overcome this issue of heat and potential damage to the adjacent cabinet doors?

Are there any differences in how the E-Series ovens can be used by consumers?

Thank You,
Peggy Deras, CKD, CID


Answer:

Dear Ms. Deras,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The new E- Series manages heat by deflecting it away from the cabinetry and towards the front and outside the oven.

The other major difference is that we now have a balanced door, which means it will stop right where you leave it, instead of dropping down suddenly.

I've included a link to our Trade Show booth:

It has several sales videos that highlight the new E Series ovens, as well as other products on the market.

Sincerely,

Customer Service Team
Wolf Appliance, Inc.


Be sure to take a look at the video on their link above. It illustrates clearly how the flush installation looks (in a wall), compared to a typical overlay installation.

NOTE: The flush installation requires a 25" deep cabinet, or the back cut out of a 24" deep cabinet. This is going to be a tricky installation everyone, but a really good looking one when done correctly.
