Bad points

Bad Points

  • May not have even heat distribution when using flexi zone.
  • Need to touch or slide finger along power selector to increase and decrease power, difficult for a larger finger.
  • When selecting heat setting, some guessing required as there are no number settings displayed on grading.
  • Stainless steel strip frames controls, separating cooking zones, can trap dirt.
  • Controls can become splattered with oil and liquids making them unresponsive to touch.
