What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Easy to slide pots and pans across the hotplates.
  • Very good layout of burners.
  • Cooktop trivets are stable with non-slip feet.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK cooktop stability for a small pan or coffee pot.
  • Burners surrounded by aluminium – can stain easily and make it harder to clean.
  • Cast iron trivets are heavy, bulky and divided into three – can be difficult to clean in a domestic sink.
  • No grill rack – grill tray slides into shelf. Universal shelf is used for grill rack.
  • Oven baking tray and shelves are difficult to clean in a domestic sink.
  • Condensation or spills can run between the door glass.
  • Shelf supports are only OK to remove – the catalytic liners are also supported by them.
  • Can be difficult to set accurate oven temperature.
