Felix Storch, Inc. Awarded Design Patent
Space-Saving Range Hood For Over-The-Range Microwaves To Launch In 2015
Bronx, NY, June 13, 2014—Having manufactured and distributed major specialty appliances since 1969, Felix Storch, Inc., is now expanding its design division with a U.S. patent for its 'C-Hood' ventilation project.
"Over the years, many of our customers have asked for more solutions to venting smaller built-in microwaves," says Paul Storch, President of Felix Storch, Inc. "Most of what they find on the market is aimed at the standard American kitchen, which is simply too large for our niche customers with space constraints."
Through its Summit Appliance division, Felix Storch, Inc., caters to the more unique needs of smaller living spaces. In 2012, the company decided to pursue the development of a proprietary 24" wide 'C-Hood,' a stainless steel 'c' shaped cabinet designed to hold a microwave and provide air filtration through a recirculating process. On June 3, 2014, Felix Storch, Inc., was awarded a United States Design Patent for this project.
"When it comes to the small kitchen market, every inch of space counts," Storch says. "Being able to house a microwave under your cabinet frees up counter space, something that can be a true luxury in tight apartment kitchens."
The C-Hood will also include the standard features found on ventilation products, including a fan and light. Production is slated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014 in the company’s Bronx manufacturing facility.

New Two Drawer Refrigerator Freezer Brings Innovation Under The Counter
Summit Appliance Introduces Frost-Free SPRF2DIM Refrigerator-Freezer
Bronx, NY, January 13, 2014—Summit Appliance is expanding its collection of built-in undercounter appliances with a new two-drawer refrigerator-freezer.
Sized for 24” wide cutouts, the SPRF2DIM offers the complete convenience of a separate refrigerator and freezer section, a rare design feature on drawer units. The exterior is fully wrapped in 304 grade stainless steel, with slim handles designed to match many popular styles of residential cabinetry.
“We’re seeing more and more drawer appliances integrated into kitchen design, partly due to the modern look but also for the space savings,” says Steve Ross, Vice President of Felix Storch, Inc. “The SPRF2DIM provides plenty of frozen and fresh storage in a 24” footprint.”
Both sections utilize frost-free operation to eliminate the manual defrosting process. Additional features include a digital thermostat, interior light, and factory installed icemaker.
The SPRF2DIM measures 34” H x 23.75” W x 24.25” D and can be installed built-in under standard counters or used freestanding. To learn more about this unit and Summit’s complete line of built-in appliances, visit summitappliance.com or call 1-800-932-4267.
Summit Appliance Launches Pure Therm™ Line Of Warming Cabinets
Bronx, NY, April 29, 2013— In continuing its development as a leading supplier of medical equipment, Felix Storch Inc., will be launching a new product line of IEC and ETL-listed blanket warmers for hospital use. Manufactured under the new brand PureTherm™, this warming cabinet series is expected to be available in the summer of 2013, with all production taking place in the U.S. facilities of Felix Storch, Inc.
Best known for its refrigeration and freezer line, Felix Storch Inc., currently manufactures and distributes medical grade appliances primarily through its Accucold® brand. The new PureTherm™ blanket warmers have already passed the IEC 61010-1 standard for laboratory use of electrical equipment. This series comes in a modular design, with all warming components and the digital thermostat housed in an upper compartment to maximize capacity and ensure easy maintenance.
The first model available is mid-sized warming cabinet PHC115G, with a double pane tempered glass door that offers a display all the way down to the floor. This model features a stainless steel interior for improved sanitation, as well as a digital thermostat, cantilevered shelving, and a self-closing door. An undercounter model is expected to be available later this year.
Several more sizes and options, including built-in capable units, are expected to be available later this year. All PureTherm™ warming cabinets can also be customized with a variety of interior and exterior features, including 3” or 6” casters and alternative exterior finishes.

Summit Appliance Introduces The Ingenious Collection Of Counter Depth Refrigeration
Bronx, NY, July 10, 2013— Space-challenged kitchens can get an upgrade with Summit Appliance’s new Ingenious line of refrigeration, full-size household units with unique features for the user. Available in two sizes, these frost-free refrigerator-freezers put innovative design in hard-to-find footprints
"The Ingenious Collection has a dramatic look, yet the units themselves are incredibly practical," says Paul Storch, President of Felix Storch, Inc. "The curved doors and platinum color are quite stylish, while the actual product features are designed for true user convenience."
Those features include a digital control panel on the door's exterior that lets users set an open door alarm, reduce the energy consumption for short holidays, and set the Power Cool function to rapidly chill the interior (ideal for bringing room temperature items like groceries to a colder temperature). The freezer compartment includes the Smart Fill Ice Factory, a no-spill system for making ice cubes, and the Express Chill Zone, a rapid cooling compartment that can be programmed on a timer-based system. Additional features include glass shelves, door storage, interior lighting, and multiple crisper storage drawers.
"When you’re looking for a counter deep refrigerator, your options are generally limited to wider units that take up too much space or built-in models that come with a very high price tag," Storch says. "Because of their height, the Ingenious models manage to maintain full-size storage capacity in slimmer widths than what you generally find when looking for counter deep units. They also come at a much lower price than the built-in models on the market."
The units available are the 18 cu.ft. FF1935PL (73” H x 29.25” W x 27” D) and 14 cu.ft. FF1525PL (73" H x 26" W x 26.25" D). To learn more about these units and see the Ingenious features in action, visit summitappliance.com/ingenious or call Summit at 1-800-932-4267.
