Aqualytic cleaning from Amica

Available in the UK from October 2009, Amica’s Scandium range consists of two highly attractive and functional ovens in stainless steel, both A rated and featuring a revolutionary new Aqualytic cleaning system incorporating AquaRealEase™ technology, unique to Amica.

The Scandium 1133.4TwYX provides eight heating functions and an electronic programmer. The Scandium 1133.4TdXY provides 12 heating functions including Super-rotisserie, top and bottom heat, convection, grill and fan cooking - with an integrated heating element, the fan distributes the hot air evenly around the oven chamber for a reduced cooking time. With Rapid Heat, the oven reaches temperature within minutes, saving more valuable energy.

The modern and multifunctional electronic programmer on the 1133.4TdXY, with retractable controls and clear LCD display makes for easy programming while 15 pre-programmed recipe settings enable even the worst chefs to prepare sophisticated meals.

The powerful 2000W grill and stay-cool door allow for safe closed door grilling; the telescopic side racks enable dishes to be removed safely without the need to put hands into the chamber and the child lock prevents little ones playing with the controls. After the oven is turned off, Amica’s automatic cooling system continues to protect kitchen furniture and cool the oven quickly.

One of the main features of Amica’s Scandium range is the Eco function, which regulates energy consumption throughout the cooking process by utilising the residual heat inside the chamber and still ensures outstanding culinary results.

The main feature is Amica’s brand new Aqualytic cleaning system. Where other oven cleaning systems require a period of 1½ hours at a temperature of 400° or 500° Celsius, Amica’s revolutionary Aqualytic cleaning system uses ½ litre of water and needs just 30 minutes at only 90°C.

The secret is Amica’s new enamel, incorporating AquaRealEase™ technology. Unlike any other, the fine and innovative chemical structure of the enamel protects it against any reaction with food, so in the cleaning process, the steam gets between the layer of grease and the enamel surface to result in a clean oven chamber with residue which easily wipes out with a soft sponge and needs no detergent. To make the cleaning process even easier, the lowering grill provides easy access to the whole oven chamber.

Amica’s Scandium 1133.4TdYX also features an internal light, two full-width wire shelves, one deep roasting tray/ shelf and a new Procook baking tray/ shelf. Developed by Amica, the new Procook baking tray/ shelf is of hexagonal construction. The honeycomb surface gives excellent, non-stick baking results.

Simon Freear, Country Manager for Amica in the UK , said: “The Scandium range is set to become a leader in self-cleaning ovens. This groundbreaking system uses less energy than any other automatic oven cleaning system, it saves an hour in time, doesn’t use intense heat and no chemical cleaning agents are needed. The Eco system reduces energy consumption even during the critical cooking process and in today’s environmentally-conscious market, this is a winning package.”

The Scandium ovens will join all other Amica products in also providing retailers with a decent profit margin and come with Amica’s quality after care service and full two years parts and labour guarantee.
