Perfect results, without the guesswork - the technologies that make it so
The life lived around appliances rarely pauses to read a manual. This glossary explains every technology, cycle and platform across the portfolio — what it does for you first, and how it works beneath.
Branded technology
Every shelf should give the same result. A dish on the top shelf finishes as perfectly as one below — crisp exteriors, tender interiors, consistency without shelf-watching. Even heat distribution across every shelf position, refined over generations of oven engineering. AeroTech™ circulates hot air evenly through the whole cavity.
Crispness is a question of moisture. Crisp exteriors balanced with tender interiors — pastry that shatters, roasts that stay succulent. Works in concert with AeroTech™ airflow as one managed cooking environment. ActiveVent™ controls how and when humidity leaves the oven cavity.
The gentlest cooking is often the most precise. Nutrients, colour and texture are preserved while temperatures hold remarkably steady. Steam conducts heat around eight times more efficiently than convection — the science behind Mastery of Temperature. Advanced steam-release and humidity control deliver precisely managed moisture to the cavity.
Branded technology (AI)
Some evenings, deciding dinner is the hardest step. A recipe generated from a photograph, timing personalised, the oven set — hands-free or remotely. Part of the SmartHQ™ suite of digital and AI tools for life. Flavourly™ brings AI-powered recipe generation and personalised control to the oven.
Cleaning technology
The weekend shouldn't belong to the oven. Grime becomes ash to be wiped away — no chemicals, no scrubbing. Cleaning without harsh agents supports healthier living in the home. A high-temperature pyrolytic cycle breaks down residue naturally.
Light use deserves a lighter clean. A quick, chemical-free wipe-down after everyday cooking. Lower temperatures and no chemical agents — gentler on the home and the planet. A steam cycle loosens residue from the oven cavity.
Accessory technology
Multi-functional reinforced tray for air frying, roasting and more. Heat-resistant construction keeps it flat under high temperatures and frequent use.
Cooking mode
Gentle, even steam preserves moisture, nutrients and texture — ideal for vegetables, fish and delicate dishes.
Steam and convection combined to balance moisture and dry heat — crisp exteriors and tender interiors for roasts and bread.
Precise low-temperature control cooks proteins evenly edge to edge for tender results.
Reheats without drying — steam restores moisture and texture so meals taste freshly cooked.
Humidity supports consistent dough rising and prevents drying, improving texture and flavour.
Rapid convection creates crisp, golden textures with less oil.
Low, steady heat breaks down collagen and builds flavour for tender dishes.
Holds food at serving temperature without overcooking, preserving moisture and texture.
Slow, precise cooking followed by a high-heat finish for tender interiors and caramelised crusts.
Low heat and airflow remove moisture to intensify flavour — fruit, herbs and snacks.
Core convection and radiant modes: even convection for baking; convection plus radiant heat for roasts; intense radiant heat for fast browning and charred finishes.
Heat technology
Heat should answer the hand instantly. From chocolate-tempering warmth to a powerful sear the moment it's asked for — with no open flame and zero direct emissions. High energy efficiency: power goes into the pan, not the room. Induction delivers energy directly into the cookware through electromagnetic transfer.
Fire is the visible language of heat. Immediate visual feedback and power in reserve — confidence at every flame level. Flame-failure safety on every burner. Finely tuned burners distribute flame evenly beneath the cookware.
Cooking is a shared performance. Many ingredients, one surface, everyone gathered — without hot spots. Precise temperature control held evenly across the full plate. A large, evenly heated steel teppanyaki surface built into the cooktop system.
Configuration system
Induction, gas and Teppanyaki modules combined to suit different cuisines and techniques within one unified cooking system.
Radiant elements deliver steady, reliable heat for controlled simmering, sautéing and everyday cooking.
Multiple cooking methods brought together on a single surface with cohesive control.
The kitchen opens up when the rangehood disappears. Island cooking with clear sightlines — odours and steam cleared at their source, pots gliding across a flush surface. Nine fan speeds plus boost; a dishwasher-safe grease filter tray; raised or flush installation with an optional recirculation kit. A two-in-one appliance pairs precision induction with downdraft extraction built into the cooking surface.
Interface
Centralised touchscreen and on-glass zone management with timers and settings; illuminated dials and indicators show active zones and power at a glance.
Platform
A complete cooking system combining multiple surface heat methods (induction, gas or hybrid) with even convection oven performance in one appliance — fast surface response and quick oven recovery for seamless transitions between techniques.
Gas cooktop (including wok burner on selected models) paired with an electric convection oven — flame control on the surface with even, regulated oven heat.
Induction cook zones can be paired to create one large cooking zone for oversized cookware.
Cooking system
Large-capacity (up to 140L) convection ovens with up to nine functions plus rotisserie, including Pastry Bake with Pizza mode; pyrolytic self-clean breaks down food residue.
Usability design
Full-extension telescopic shelves that resist tipping for safe removal of hot dishes.
Professional-style dials with LED halo illumination provide heat information at a glance; weighted dials and visible flame control give immediate tactile and visual feedback.
Companion technology
Low, stable heat holds cooked food at serving temperature, warms plates, rests meats or proves dough without drying or overcooking — timing support for the wider cooking system.
Removes air from packaging to retain freshness, texture, flavour and nutrients — supporting accurate portioning, marinating, advance preparation and sous vide workflows.
Controlled temperature and pressure support balanced espresso extraction and repeatable results, with guided drink selection through clear interfaces.
Design system
Installation trim components that complete the composition, ensuring companion appliances integrate cleanly with cabinetry and surrounding appliances.
Appliances engineered to operate as a coordinated system — preparation and storage, then steam, convection, induction and gas environments, then grill/sear finishing, supported by ventilation, warming and companion functions. Independent temperature and humidity control lets multiple dishes cook simultaneously in their own environments and finish together.
Product technology
Restaurant technique shouldn't stay in restaurants. Remarkably even cooking, healthier methods and entertaining made repeatable — precision steam for the home cook. The cornerstone appliance of Mastery of Temperature; steam's heat transfer efficiency underwrites lower temperatures and shorter times. Humid air's stable, gentle heat combines with fan-circulated convection in one cavity.
Control should feel like an extension of the hand. From rolling boil to bare simmer in a single gesture, temperature held exactly where the cook intends. Immediate response across the full power range, very high to very low. Touch&Slide slider controls translate a fingertip's movement directly into induction power.
Some dishes need more room. The surface adapts to the fish kettle, the roasting dish, the long Sunday braise. Available across induction cooktops and induction freestanding cookers. SmartZone pairs two induction zones into one large, evenly powered cooking area.
Safety technology
Induction zones heat only when cookware is on the surface and stop when removed; pan detection, per-zone auto cut-off timers, safety time-out, keylock and hot-surface indicators provide layered protection.
Heat function
Boost function delivering maximum induction power to a zone for rapid heating — named in product specifications with minimal descriptive copy.
Food is stored by people, not schedules. Food stays fresher for longer, however the household actually lives — school-run door openings, weekend restocks and all. Continuous sensing and response, refined across decades of refrigeration engineering. ActiveSmart™ sensors monitor internal conditions and adjust airflow and cooling in real time.
Product intelligence
Stability is the quiet work of preservation. Each climate holds steady — produce crisp, proteins safe, flavours intact. One of the sensing disciplines within ActiveSmart™ foodcare. Adaptive cooling balances temperature, airflow and humidity continuously.
Engineered air circulation distributes cool air evenly and reduces temperature fluctuation.
Cooling responds only when required, improving energy performance and reducing food waste.
A refrigerator should change when life does. Storage that adapts — pantry space before a celebration, freezer depth after a harvest, Soft Freeze for easy protein portioning. Five food modes engineered on one platform: Pantry, Fridge, Chill, Soft Freeze and Freezer — with Wine on CoolDrawer™. Variable Temperature Zones convert between independently controlled climate modes at a touch.
Cooling shouldn't be confined to one corner of the kitchen. Five appliances in one drawer, placed wherever storage is needed — disappearing into the architecture, panel-ready. Chill holds highly perishable meat and seafood at around −0.5°C; Wine serves long- and short-term temperatures by varietal. CoolDrawer™ switches between Fridge, Freezer, Pantry, Chill and Wine modes at the push of a button.
Connectivity feature
View internal temperatures, receive alerts, monitor performance and adjust settings/modes remotely on compatible connected models.
Three design formats sharing one food-care platform: integrated (flush within cabinetry), built-in (stainless with defined handles) and contemporary freestanding (flat doors, glass and stainless finishes) — identical preservation performance across all.
Climate technology
Specialist wine and beverage climates engineered for temperature stability and reduced vibration to support long-term ageing. Dual-zone cabinets cellar bottles while serving others at varietal-perfect temperatures, with modes for Red, White, Sparkling and Cellar (ageing); multi-layer UV protection, full-extension oak telescopic shelving and dimmable LED lighting protect and present collections. Red Dot-awarded Undercounter Wine and Beverage Refrigerator.
Preservation shouldn't cost the planet its own. Food care that draws less from the grid — without compromising freshness. Carbon treated as a design parameter, supporting the drive to Carbon Zero. Clever Energy™ systems cool adaptively, responding only when conditions require.
Climate function
Rapid-stabilisation modes that quickly restore optimal fridge or freezer conditions after loading; compartments can be prepared remotely via SmartHQ before you arrive home.
Humidity-controlled drawers and bins extend produce freshness and protect texture and flavour.
Independent refrigerator, freezer and wine columns (1.9m and 2.1m platforms, multiple widths) that pair, group or distribute through the kitchen — each with dedicated cooling intelligence and its own stable climate, in integrated (panel-ready) or built-in stainless expressions.
Generous-capacity refrigeration with ActiveSmart™ continuously adapting conditions across multiple compartments, Variable Temperature Zones for flexible storage modes, SmartHQ™ control across fridge, freezer and zones, and wide shelving with flexible compartments — in integrated, built-in and freestanding expressions.
Convenience technology
Filtered ice and water dispensing on selected French and Quad Door models.
The wardrobe is an investment. Cleaner results with a lighter footprint — each load receives exactly the care it needs, nothing more. Sensing refined against fibre science; less water, energy and detergent per wash. ActiveIntelligence™ senses load size and soil level, refining water, detergent, temperature and time automatically.
Trust in a machine is earned before the first cycle. Quiet, precise, fabric-safe washing — year after year. Life-tested through 6,000 cycles — the equivalent of two decades of verified use. SmartDrive™ direct-drive motor technology refines drum motion with fewer moving parts.
Wash action should fit the load, not the other way around. Water, time and motion adjusted automatically for the wash at hand. Named alongside ActiveIntelligence™ and SmartDrive™ in the Series 9 intelligence suite. Vortex Wash auto-adjusts wash dynamics — a branded technology awaiting its full story on the website.
Care cycle
Steam smooths creases, removes odours and restores freshness using less energy and water than a full wash.
Care technology
Eliminates bacteria and allergens from fabrics and the drum for a deeper, hygienic clean.
Dosing technology
Precision detergent dosing delivered at the right moment in the cycle; cartridge levels can be viewed and managed on-product and in SmartHQ.
Optical sensors detect colour levels and adapt the wash to preserve brightness and prevent dye transfer.
Certified cycle
Woolmark-certified cycles gently clean woollens to maintain softness, structure and quality.
Care platform
A shift from cycle-based to fibre-based washing: select the fibre (wool, silk, cotton, activewear, denim, down, etc.) and intelligent sensing balances water, heat, detergent and movement, with in-product guidance.
Heat is the enemy of fit. Softness, shape and colour survive the dryer — with significantly less energy than traditional vented drying. Low-temperature drying protects fibre integrity while cutting energy use. Heat pump technology recycles warm air at gentle temperatures instead of venting it away.
Moisture detection throughout the load refines time, temperature and movement, stopping the cycle at the correct dryness to prevent over-drying.
Clothes should leave the dryer ready to wear. No knots, fewer creases, even drying — less ironing on the other side. Garments kept moving freely through the full cycle. TangleProtect™ reverses the drum's tumbling direction to prevent twisting.
Steam relaxes fibres to reduce wrinkles and lift odours so lightly worn clothes emerge smooth and ready to wear without a full wash.
Dedicated settings tuned to each fibre's needs — Cotton, Wool (Woolmark certified), Down, Activewear/Elastane, Silk, Linen, Hemp — plus Item Types for sheets, towels and bulky loads.
Some garments should never tumble. Fibres keep their structure, texture and drape — care without wear. No agitation, no detergent; Refresh, Deodorise, Sanitise and Dry in one cabinet. The Fabric Care Cabinet treats garments with steam, controlled heat and managed airflow while they hang still.
Low-density, balanced steam relaxes fibres, softens creases and reduces odours without over-saturating garments.
Temperature and time work together to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria while preserving fibre integrity.
Investment pieces deserve considered care. Leather, wool, silk, cashmere, delicate knits, outerwear, synthetics and down — each cared for on its own terms. Programs built on the Science of Fabric Care: how each material responds to heat, moisture and still air. Dedicated cabinet programs tune temperature, humidity and airflow to the fibre.
Refined airflow circulates around garments to dry evenly, preventing clumping, flattening or shrinkage.
Usability system
Purpose-designed hangers, rails and flat drying surfaces support up to twelve garments and ensure airflow reaches fibres evenly.
Washing and heat pump drying combined in one appliance and one continuous cycle — intelligent sensing determines the right moment to transition from wash to dry without intervention, with load, soil and moisture sensors refining both stages.
Heat pump technology dries at low temperature with no external venting required, enabling flexible installation in compact homes.
An elevated drum and angled control panel support comfortable everyday loading and use.
Platform note
Combi models carry the fabric care technology set: ActiveIntelligence™ sensing, SmartDrive™ drum control, AutoDose dosing, Steam Refresh, Woolmark-certified wool care, fibre-led cycles and SmartHQ™ connectivity.
Complete Fabric Care is a system, not a single machine. Garments move from wash to dry to refresh as one continuous act of care. Complementary cycles across washer, dryer and Fabric Care Cabinet; matched Contemporary and Minimal aesthetics. The fabric care ecosystem is connected through SmartHQ™, with guided fibre-to-finish care.
Extraction technology
Extraction performance sized to the full cooking surface, capturing vapours, oils and odours to protect cabinetry, furniture and air quality.
Lighting design
Surface lighting that illuminates the entire cooking area, designed to complement paired cooking appliances and enhance the cooking experience.
The fan and motor are installed outside the kitchen for powerful yet quieter extraction — letting the sounds of cooking come through.
Cleaning design
Stainless steel filters with integrated grease trays make cleaning simple — the whole assembly is dishwasher safe.
Ventilation styles and formats designed to mirror the dimensions and aesthetics of paired cooktops and cookers — hidden within cabinetry or heroed as a design feature.
Branded platform
In 1997 we asked why a dishwasher couldn't work like a drawer. Dish care at bench height, wash zones distributed around the kitchen, loads running independently — dishwashing arranged around people, not plumbing. A category-reshaping innovation, drawer-tested to 50,000 open-and-close cycles. Independent DishDrawer™ modules operate as standalone dishwashers in flexible configurations.
Paired DishDrawers create separate wash zones (e.g. glassware vs cookware), aligning cleaning with everyday movement; a single drawer beside prep zones supports smaller loads.
Full-capacity format for generous loads and traditional installation, available in integrated (panel-ready), built-under and freestanding configurations.
Wash intelligence
Wash what the day produced, nothing more. True half loads become efficient rather than wasteful. Water, energy and time scaled to the actual load — supporting the drive to Carbon Zero. Intelligent sensing adjusts water flow, temperature and duration; independent drawers wash small loads alone.
Wash system
Wash performance built on the balance of cycle duration, adjusted heat, detergent chemistry activated at the right stage, and precision spray dynamics distributing water evenly.
Reliability begins with simplicity. Dependable, low-noise performance suited to open-plan living — quieter evenings by design. Fewer moving parts to wear; the same SmartDrive™ engineering lineage as our laundry motors. One SmartDrive™ motor combines wash and drain functions.
Wash technology
Increases final rinse temperature to help eliminate 99.9% of bacteria; certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 184.
Specialised gentle cycles lower temperature and water pressure to protect fine glass, crystal and delicate stemware while cleaning thoroughly.
Each drawer runs independently — stack one while the other washes; double models run two different cycles simultaneously for complete flexibility and right-sized water/energy use.
Pitch-adjustable tines and adjustable cup racks adapt loading from delicate stemware to everyday plates and cookware.
Warm final rinse temperatures combined with built-in airflow deliver low-energy drying and cupboard-ready dishes.
Consumable technology
Detergent tablets scientifically formulated for DishDrawer Dishwashers with precision dosing, optimised chemistry and carefully selected ingredients.
Usability technology
There is always a forgotten glass. Knock, add the dish, carry on — the cycle waits for you. A signature DishDrawer™ interaction on Series 9 integrated models. Knock to Pause reads a knock on the drawer front as a pause command mid-cycle.
Drying technology
Dishes should be ready the moment the cycle ends. Cupboard-ready results — no towelling off, no trapped steam. Fan-assisted drying with automatic steam release at cycle end. The door opens itself when drying completes, releasing excess moisture.
Program sets spanning Auto, Eco, 60-minute and Intensive washes with modifiers including Quick (faster wash, maintained performance), Sanitise (99.9% bacteria, NSF/ANSI 184), Half Load and Extra Dry (ideal for plastics).
The crust is the reward. Real colour, real crust — sear as a method, mastered. A dual-rail design for control and rapid heat, in the DCS tradition since 1989. A dynamic infrared sear burner in its own dedicated zone drives the Maillard reaction hard and fast.
Fuel technology
Charcoal flavour usually asks for patience. Coals lit in minutes, smoke layered into everything the fire touches — hickory, cherry, mesquite. Charcoal and wood-smoke flavour with gas convenience — two fires, one grill. A charcoal smoker tray slots above the high-output gas burners for fast, even ignition.
The cook chooses the fire. Gas for mid-week convenience, charcoal and wood for weekend gourmet — fuels changed the way a cook changes methods. Series 9 engineering accommodates gas, charcoal and wood in one grill. Interchangeable fuel systems support smoking, charcoal grilling and gas finishing.
Some cooks are worth the wait. Slow turns, even fire, crackling skin. Strong burners hold the cavity at high, steady temperature throughout. An integrated rotisserie system turns continuously over sustained radiant heat.
One fire, two intentions. An aggressive sear and a low-and-slow cook share the same grill. Distinct heat zones held simultaneously — piping-hot steel beside a gentle hold. Precision burners and grill geometry create independently controlled temperature zones.
Materials & construction
The grate is where the cook meets the fire. Delicate fish cradled on one side; clean sear lines and fewer flare-ups on the other. Cast stainless steel, made for decades of fire. Double-sided grates pair a gentle radius profile with a W-profile that channels fat away from the flame.
Weather is the test, and it never ends. A grill that stands outdoors for a lifetime of cooks. Hand-finished 304 stainless steel, precision-welded in the DCS tradition since 1989; lifetime warranty on key components. Marine-grade 304 stainless construction throughout body, joints and finish.
The cook works after dark. Read the fire at a glance — the surface lit, the dials speaking their state. Bezel dials glow white for on and orange when gas and grill are working. Integrated hood lighting and illuminated control bezels.
One hand for the hood, one for the tongs. The hood lifts easily and heat moves up and away from the cook. A curved Series 9 hood profile that directs heat on opening. Spring-assisted hinges balance the hood's weight through its travel.

The difference between good and perfect is often a few degrees. Roasts, bakes and grills come out exactly as intended — without opening the door to check. Engineered to withstand oven and grill environments; guided results through SmartHQ™. A durable wireless probe monitors internal food and ambient temperatures continuously, across ovens and outdoor grills.
An appliance should grow with the life around it. New cycles, modes and refinements arrive across the product's years of use — quietly, without a service visit. Delivered under industry-leading data privacy through the connected ecosystem. Over-the-air software updates extend appliance capability throughout its life.
Water worth drinking, ice worth serving. Better taste and clarity with dependable flow — and effortless replacement when the moment comes. Independently certified filtration standards. Certified filters protect water quality and flow for compatible refrigeration.
Brand technology philosophy
Every ingredient responds differently to heat, moisture and time. Optimal flavour, texture and preservation — from deep freeze to searing heat — without the cook needing to hold the science. Nearly ninety years of studying how methods, temperatures and humidity combine; steam conducts heat around eight times more efficiently than convection. Mastery of Temperature is the organising principle applied across every cooking and food care technology in the portfolio.
Design philosophy
A kitchen should be designed around a life, not assembled from parts. A considered space where appliances match each other and the home — full suites working as one, styles chosen freely, formats placed where life needs them most. Identical performance beneath every style expression — Minimal, Contemporary, Professional, Classic and Integrated. Three commitments — Ultimate Solutions, the Beauty of Choice and Design Freedom — turn Patterns of Use into Kitchen Perfection.
