Kitchen Appliance Exhibition Area

At the kitchen appliance exhibition area, Vanward showcased a new electric oven with a 20% increase in capacity compared with the previous generation, making it suitable for family gatherings and dishes such as whole roast chicken. The oven features 4D uniform heat distribution, PID precision temperature control, and 360° hot-air circulation to ensure even heat coverage. Its air-fry mode delivers crispy results with less oil, while an intelligent temperature probe monitors the internal temperature of food in real time. The oven also incorporates high-temperature pyrolytic self-cleaning, which breaks down grease at high temperatures and reduces the need for manual cleaning.

Vanward’s customized export gas hobs are designed for global markets, with differentiated safety and combustion performance features. The hobs incorporate NTC heat-source tracking technology to monitor pan-bottom temperatures in real time. If the temperature reaches or exceeds 298°C, the hob automatically shuts off the flame and cuts off the gas supply, helping prevent dry burning. An additional intelligent safety function automatically extinguishes the flame after three minutes if the hob is operating at high power without a pot, helping prevent risks associated with unattended combustion and gas leakage. 

For a modern kitchen aesthetic and improved usability, the hobs support customized panel options, including illuminated knobs and full-touchscreen controls. The 4.0 kW high-power all-copper burners use a high-efficiency combustion system with three-stage pressurization and two-stage flow distribution, delivering strong heat output. The durable burners resist deformation over time. Supporting both LPG and NG gas optimization, the hobs can be adapted to major gas markets around the world.

Vanward Electric Vice President Edmond Yeung engages with international clients at the exhibition.
