| Wolf Introduces Residential Induction Cooktop
May 11, 2005
Wolf Appliance Company announced that it will debut its induction cooktop at retail showrooms in the fall 2005. The company is reportedly one of the first to make residential induction cooking available in the U.S. and Canada.
Induction cooking uses the transfer of magnetic energy rather than flames or electric elements to generate heat. When an iron or magnetic pan is placed on the cooktop, electricity passes through coils beneath the glass surface to produce a magnetic field that heats the pan directly. Within the magnetic field, molecules in the pan vibrate at very high frequencies, and the friction creates instant heat.
The 15-in wide unit contains two heating zones, a 6-in diam front zone and an 8.5-in diam rear zone, for a total of 3,600 W of power. While the zones are simultaneously capable of producing 1,800 W each, a special "Hi-Power" mode on the rear element can increase its power to 2,200 W by diverting power from the front element. According to Wolf, this allows a cook to quickly boil water or sear meat and still maintain normal cooking functions in the front.
The induction cooktop features illuminated touch controls with graduated lighting, hot- surface indicators on both zones, universal off and child safety lock keys, and "True Melt" and "True Simmer" settings on all elements.
Additionally, the induction cooktop features built-in sensors to detect boil-dry situations and a temperature limiter to ensure that the safe operating temperature of glass ceramic is never exceeded. The company says the glass surface features a subtle crosshatch pattern to reduce the visibility of scratches and that the black ceramic top is also resistant to staining, impact, and heat.
The induction unit joins Wolf's six other 15-in integrated modules that are designed to allow homeowners the ability to mix and match multiple cooktop units. Consumers can choose among an electric cooktop, electric grill, electric steamer, electric fryer, gas multifunction cooktop, dual burner cooktop, and the new induction cooktop to customize their kitchens. |

| Amana Refrigerator Plant Looks to Expand
An Iowa refrigerator manufacturing plant owned by Maytag Corp. has applied for a state tax credit to expand.
Amana Refrigeration Products would create 200 jobs, according to an application recently approved by Iowa County supervisors.
The appliance maker is seeking assistance from the New Capital Investment Program, which grants tax credits to companies expanding existing operations. The amount sought by Amana was not specified, but is typically 10 percent of the total capital investment.
The application form said Amana Refrigeration plans to invest U.S. $65.5 million in machinery and equipment to make a new product line at the Middle Amana plant.
The project will retain 360 regular positions, 150 seasonal temporary workers, and 200 new jobs.
The Iowa Department of Economic Development Board is scheduled to consider the application when it meets Jan. 20.
A 3-year labor agreement approved in September by members of International Association of Machinists Local 1526 allows Amana Refrigeration Products to move to a 24-hr manufacturing operation. (Associated Press Jan 7, 2005) |

| Appliances connected to the internet
Monday, August 18, 2003
Appliance manufacturers are incorporating computers and Internet connectivity into even the most banal of home appliances, like the fridge pictured above. Microsoft, for example, had R&D people working on an iLoo, a toilet that would allow you to surf before you flush.
