<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled three new kitchen appliances — the Bespoke AI Single 1Door Fridge &amp; Freezer, Bespoke AI Dishwasher and Extractor Induction Hob. Developed under a design philosophy that prioritises seamless integration and intelligent performance, the lineup brings enhancements across cooling, cooking, ventilation and dish care.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>“With this lineup, we&#8217;re strengthening Samsung’s position in the premium kitchen by combining seamless design with purposeful intelligence,”</em> said <strong>Hyoung Min Park, VP and Head of the Customer Experience Team for the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics</strong>. <em>“From AI-driven cooling to adaptive dish care and integrated extraction, these appliances are engineered to respond to real usage patterns, helping people create kitchens that are both refined and responsive.”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Precision Cooling and Seamless Access for Modern Kitchens</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bespoke AI Single 1Door Fridge &amp; Freezer offer flexible options to suit different storage needs. The two units can be used together as a coordinated pair or selected individually to expand refrigeration or freezing capacity as required.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They also emphasise usability and seamless design integration. Auto Open Door provides effortless access with a light touch.<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> A built-in touch sensor enables smooth opening, supported by a sensor light for improved visibility and an alert sound when activated. The refrigerator maintains a seamless, flat-front appearance without a handle that naturally aligns with surrounding cabinetry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, the fridge introduces enhanced cooling functionality designed to improve freshness management. AI Precise Cooling on the SmartThings App<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a> automatically adjusts the defrost cycle to help maintain consistent internal conditions. The system analyses usage patterns and schedules defrosting to run when the doors are not opened frequently,<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a> helping reduce temperature fluctuations and preserve taste, texture and freshness of food over time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Further, Metal Cooling independently supports temperature stability by retaining cold air and restoring internal temperatures more quickly after the door is opened. Compared with conventional models that have featured a half-sized metal duct on the rear wall, the new model incorporates a full metal duct design across both the rear wall and the door surface.<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a> This expanded structure lowers temperature changes and supports more stable cooling performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Energy Efficient Dishwashers With Intelligent Cleaning Performance</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Bespoke AI Dishwasher lineup is designed to address varying energy standards and lifestyle needs across global markets. The range includes A-20%,<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a> A-10%,<a href="#_edn6" name="_ednref6"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[6]</sup></span></span></a> A and even B-Grade models in Europe.<a href="#_edn7" name="_ednref7"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[7]</sup></span></span></a> For models with the extra energy savings than the Grade A energy rating, an Active Fan Dry system<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[8]</sup></span></span></a> improves drying efficiency by enhancing internal air circulation and lowering rinse water temperature to reduce heating<a href="#_edn9" name="_ednref9"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[9]</sup></span></span></a> demand.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To accommodate different kitchen layouts, the product is available in Fully Built-In, Free-Standing, Semi Built-In and Built-Under types,<a href="#_edn10" name="_ednref10"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[10]</sup></span></span></a> supporting both integrated cabinetry environments and more traditional kitchen configurations. This enables flexible deployment according to regional requirements and consumer priorities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cleaning performance is driven by AI Wash,<a href="#_edn11" name="_ednref11"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[11]</sup></span></span></a> which uses a high-resolution turbidity sensor and machine learning algorithm to measure food particles at each stage of the cycle. Based on this analysis, the system automatically adjusts washing and rinsing times to effectively remove stubborn residue — without the need for pre-rinsing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The upgraded,<a href="#_edn12" name="_ednref12"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[12]</sup></span></span></a> space-saving 3rd Rack Washing System further enhances flexibility by providing dedicated zones for cutlery, utensils and drinkware. The drinkware section accommodates up to six cups and is supported by six spinning nozzles for targeted spray coverage. This configuration improves loading efficiency and frees up space in other racks,<a href="#_edn13" name="_ednref13"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[13]</sup></span></span></a> enabling better overall organisation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Durable Surface and High-Efficiency Ventilation in One Integrated Appliance</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Extractor Induction Hob integrates the induction cooktop and extractor hood into a single appliance. This makes it particularly suitable for open-plan kitchens and island installations where installing a conventional hood may be challenging. By capturing steam and odors<a href="#_edn14" name="_ednref14"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[14]</sup></span></span></a> at the source, it helps maintain cleaner air while preserving the openness of modern kitchen spaces.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Even with cooking and ventilation combined in a single unit, it preserves the distinct performance strengths of both functions. Its cooking surface incorporates Samsung’s Anti-Scratch Glass with a Mohs hardness rating of 8,<a href="#_edn15" name="_ednref15"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[15]</sup></span></span></a> helping resist visible scratches<a href="#_edn16" name="_ednref16"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[16]</sup></span></span></a> that arise during everyday use. A superhydrophobic coating reduces residue buildup to support easier cleaning, while the matte finish reinforces a refined, modern aesthetic suited to contemporary interiors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Beyond surface durability, cooking flexibility is also enhanced by Flex Zone Plus, a wide, open cooking area designed to accommodate multiple or larger cookware at the same time. Featuring denser heating<a href="#_edn17" name="_ednref17"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[17]</sup></span></span></a> elements for more even heat distribution, it supports a variety of cookware shapes and sizes, including longer or oversized dishes.<a href="#_edn18" name="_ednref18"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[18]</sup></span></span></a> The surface automatically detects<a href="#_edn19" name="_ednref19"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[19]</sup></span></span></a> the position and size of cookware to activate heating precisely where needed, helping ensure consistent cooking performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ventilation performance is equally impressive. In Boost mode, suction of up to 720 m³/h<a href="#_edn20" name="_ednref20"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[20]</sup></span></span></a> effectively captures steam, smoke and odors at the source. Despite its strong airflow capability, the system achieves A+ energy efficiency,<a href="#_edn21" name="_ednref21"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[21]</sup></span></span></a> balancing performance with energy-conscious operation. By integrating cooking and ventilation into one appliance, the Extractor Induction Hob removes the need for a separate hood and supports a more open, streamlined kitchen layout.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Maintenance is simplified through a dishwasher-safe Easy Clean Grease Filter. The stainless-steel filter<a href="#_edn22" name="_ednref22"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[22]</sup></span></span></a> delivers A-grade 95% filtration efficiency<a href="#_edn23" name="_ednref23"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[23]</sup></span></span></a> to capture oil and grease, while an integrated charcoal filter helps reduce odors and gases. Together, these elements sustain consistent ventilation performance with minimal upkeep.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1"><span>[1]</span></a>Door opening angle may vary depending on installation and actual usage conditions. Automatic door-closing functionality is not supported.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref2" name="_edn2"><span>[2]</span></a>Available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref3" name="_edn3"><span>[3]</span></a>When the AI precision cooling is activated, the refrigerator usage pattern is analysed and the defrosting is initiated when the doors are not opened frequently to help minimise the refrigerator&#8217;s temperature fluctuations and ensures optimal performance. Actual results may vary depending on individual use.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref4" name="_edn4"><span>[4]</span></a> Full Metal cooling is applied to chosen models.</span></em></p>

Based on Samsung internal testing, this DW90H/24 model is 10% more efficient than required to achieve the A energy efficiency class limit under Regulation (EU) No 2019/2014. 10% savings tested with the ECO cycle.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref7" name="_edn7"><span>[7]</span></a>Based on EU energy standards; actual ratings may vary depending on local energy regulations.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref8" name="_edn8"><span>[8]</span></a>Available on A-20% and A-10% energy grade model: DW******{1,3}****</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref9" name="_edn9"><span>[9]</span></a> When using Active Fan Dry the drying time may increase, because the rinsing water temperature is lower.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref10" name="_edn10"><span>[10]</span></a>Available types may vary by region.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref11" name="_edn11"><span>[11]</span></a>Based on an AI-created algorithm. Actual results may vary depending on individual use.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref12" name="_edn12"><span>[12]</span></a> Compared to Samsung conventional two rack dishwashers.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref13" name="_edn13"><span>[13]</span></a>Available on DW90H** models.</span></em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At Innovation For All (IFA) 2025, Samsung Electronics showcased its vision for “AI Home: Future Living, Now”. Samsung’s AI Home aims to be a reality people can experience today — not just in the future — and one designed for everyone, not just a select few.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“At Samsung, we’re not just imagining the future of AI; we’re building it into everyday life. Samsung’s AI Home moves beyond smart devices to homes that truly understand you, adapt to your needs, and care for what matters most,” said<strong> Cheolgi Kim (CK), Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Appliances (DA) Business</strong>. “This is the beginning of a new era &#8211; where technology supports your life in the background so that you can live it more fully.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s AI Home experience is designed to make everyday living more convenient, efficient, healthy, and safe.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung research<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> reveals that 66% of consumers find the idea of an AI-enabled home appealing, with many envisioning streamlined daily tasks (44%) and greater control via phone or voice commands (45%). AI Home, with SmartThings automated routines, delivers on this vision – automating lighting, temperature, and even syncing blinds with the weather for effortless living<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The home is a sanctuary for 93% of people and a social hub for 80%. As families spend more time together, AI Home enhances shared moments with wellness checks, personalised sleep settings, and nutrition planning.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Energy efficiency is one of the main benefits consumers look for from AI. 66% believe an AI enabled home can help track costs and save money. With SmartThings Energy, AI Home can reduce washing machine energy use by up to 70%<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a><a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Security remains critical, with 40% expecting AI to improve home protection through timely alerts. Samsung Knox Vault safeguards sensitive data at the hardware level, while Knox Matrix extends protection across connected devices with ecosystem-wide security<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<h3></h3>

<li><strong>Bespoke AI Dishwasher: </strong>AI Wash optimises the cleaning cycle based on how dirty the dishes are<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[8]</sup></span></span></a>, and Auto Open Door allows steam to escape, accelerating the drying process.</li>
<li><strong>Extractor Induction Hob:</strong> Integrating the extractor into the hob maximises kitchen space.</li>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Starting with the Galaxy S24 series and a commitment to democratise Galaxy AI to over 200 million devices in 2024, Samsung Galaxy has defined a new era of mobile AI innovation.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that at IFA 2025, it will showcase a new lineup of premium built-in kitchen appliances designed to meet the growing demand in Europe for open kitchen interiors that create a café-like ambiance and feel more spacious.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the centre of this lineup is the Extractor Induction Hob, which integrates a powerful hood with a turbo slim fan directly into the cooktop surface with an exhaust duct installed below or behind the countertop, creating a strong airflow that quickly removes smoke and cooking smells.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-21780 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Extractor-Induction-Hob_1-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Extractor-Induction-Hob_1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Extractor-Induction-Hob_1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Extractor-Induction-Hob_1-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Extractor-Induction-Hob_1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Extractor Induction Hob is equipped with Flex Zone Plus, with each zone having four induction coils to enable flexible placement of pots and pans<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> and provide even heat distribution over a wider area.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> Crafted with a matte finish, high-durability glass and an anti-fingerprint coating, the surface is scratch resistant and easy to maintain — keeping its clean, premium look after each use.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This product not only eliminates the need for ceiling-mounted hoods with its performance but also enhances spatial openness and visual flow. As European kitchen trends shift toward removing upper cabinets and emphasising large island counters, this new product offers an excellent option for customers who prefer a cleaner, more open kitchen aesthetic with an island-style layout.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also debuting in Europe is the Bespoke AI Dishwasher featuring its Auto Open Door, which comes in handy when fully built-in, so users don’t have to add a handle to the exterior furniture of the dishwasher door and can retain a clean, seamless finish to match the kitchen cabinets. Additionally, the redesigned upper rack adds a dedicated space for glassware to improve loading flexibility.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-21781" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Extractor-Induction-Hob_2-1000x545.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="545" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Extractor-Induction-Hob_2-1000x545.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Extractor-Induction-Hob_2-768x419.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Extractor-Induction-Hob_2.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The dishwasher is not only aesthetically pleasing but also boasts outstanding performance through its AI Wash cycle. Its high-sensitivity turbidity sensor and AI algorithm automatically select the optimal cleaning cycle based on the dishes’ soil level.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a> Initially launched in Korea and the U.S. earlier this year, the Bespoke AI Dishwasher’s AI Wash cycle was used more than twice as much as the normal cycle — which had previously been the most frequently used cycle — in both countries, as of August 2025.<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To align with Samsung’s commitment to enabling more advanced home living, both products offer enhanced energy efficiency. The new built-in kitchen lineup will be on display at IFA 2025, which will take place from September 5-9 in Berlin, Germany, with both the Extractor Induction Hob and the Bespoke AI Dishwasher launching in Europe in H1 2026.<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a> Limited to cookware that can be used for induction cooking. The applicable cookware diameter is 90mm &#8211; 300mm. The shape and size of suitable cookware is shown on the display: Circular (SS/S/M/L), Square (Horizontal, Vertical).</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span>[2]</span></a> Based on internal testing, measuring the cookable area covered by the coil compared to the conventional Samsung NZ84C605**K/U* cooktop. When cooking close to the front of the cooktop, cookware with a diameter of 130mm or more is required.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3"><span>[3]</span></a> Installation method: Recirculation (basic/duct) or Extract Out — may vary depending on actual installation environment and kitchen/island layout. Additional purchase of accessories may be required for installation if necessary.

<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ftnref4" name="_ftn4"><span>[4]</span></a> Must select AI Wash cycle. Based on an AI-created algorithm. Actual results may vary depending on individual use.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ftnref5" name="_ftn5"><span>[5]</span></a> Based on internally gathered usage data in the U.S. and Korea from January to August 2025.</span></em></p>
