Stainless steel shows no sign of losing its appeal as the premier finish for appliances and for sinks" says Ian Kershaw, MD at CDA, who specialise in stainless steel and offer built in and freestanding appliances, sinks and taps. " The finish has been a success story for many years now and it is obvious to see why.

Gently curved drawers fully clad in stainless steel make CDA's double DD260 a focal point in the kitchen. The dishwasher is triple A rated and will take six place settings in each drawer, Drawers can be operated independently or together and there is a choice of nine programmes including four Eco options. Special features include a programme memory that operates in the event of power failure, child lock and a key lock.

Ethnic cooks who prefer hob cooking to using the oven find this sort of hob particularly useful. Burner ratings run from auxiliary to semi rapid and accessories include a wok cradle.
