What's Cool
Everywhere Else

Family Hub Refrigerator. New features include the new Family Board screen,
which acts as a digital bulletin board onto which members can stick notes and
photos and even doodle right on the screen. The Family Hub also enables a
user to create better and healthier meals with Meal Planner, which customizes
recipes based on food preferences, dietary needs and the items in the fridge.

2. When used in combination with RICHELIEU's most popular waste management systems, the Libero electronic and automatic door opener pushes
out the waste bin and permits a hands-free opening. The device is activated
by waving a foot in front of the sensor located in the kick board, which then
triggers the release and opening of the cabinet or drawer.

correlating roses.

alongside any new or existing faucet.

system, this new hood can adjust its height up to 1 meter from the ceiling and
then ascend back into position when no longer needed. Levante is available
with black or white glass finishes.

8. BLUESTAR is adding to its suite of electric cooking products with the new
Touch Induction Cooktop, featuring a touch control and frameless, flush installation. This 36-in. cooktop is intuitive to operate and combines speed and control
