European-Styled Dishwasher

The Monterey, which has been added to KitchenAid's current dishwasher line,is specifically designed to complement the European-styled cabinets being used in today's new and remodeled kitchens.

Styled to provide a sleek contemporary look, it offers a triple filtration system with patented soil collector and a stainless steel hard food disposer which reportedly removes food from the water so it cannot be washed back onto the dishware. The special water heating system is said to assure water hot enough to cut through fats and tough food soils, even if the incoming water is as low as 120 degrees F.

Other features include a high capacity wash pump with a 4-way wash arm and middle wash arm to deliver strong up-and-down cleaning action as well as adjustable racks, dividers and energy saving drying options.

Cedar Look A-Like Shingle

A wood fiber roofing product from Masonite Corp. is said to be almost indistinguishable from the real thing with a heavily textured surface which is said to weather in color like cedar.

Made from natural wood fibers compressed under extreme pressure and molded into 12 " x 48" shingles, Woodruf is said to have all the advantages of natural wood, while eliminating many of the drawbacks.

Because the product is 5090 denser than natural wood, it is able to withstand extreme temperature, hail and high winds. Backed by a longterm limited warranty, its performance lifetime is reportedly as good or better than most standard and dimensional fiberglass and organic shingles.
