JULY 2017 RETAILOBSERVER.COM 17 The 24" cooktop features two 18,000 BTU gas power burners with simmer capability at 750 BTU, a staple element of SUPERIORE appliances, as well as one large burner (11,000 BTU) and 1 medium burner (6,500 BTU). The gas oven offers a 4.4 cu.ft. capacity with two convection fans. All SUPERIORE ranges are designed with an exclusive Cool Flow System, a product feature that generates a flow of cold air from inner fans, engineered to keep all knobs, handles, and exterior surfaces cool to the touch without affecting the cooking temperature. The goal is to ensure all SUPERIORE ranges are safe, especially for children that may be helping in the kitchen. Launching in tandem with the 24" range are matching ventilation options: the 24" NEXT hood with analog control, 600 cfm power and stylish black glass detail, and the 24" PRO hood (400 cfm) with electronic buttons, both in stainless steel. "Our team is proud to continually meet the needs of the North American market and this latest development will help the brand expand to key markets in metropolitan areas," adds Di Tommaso.
