Bad points

Bad Points

  • No written labelling symbols only, may need to refer to the manual initially.
  • No viewing window.
  • Touch control display panel needs to be free from grease as it may not respond.
  • Large drawer can be awkward to clean in a domestic sink.
  • Can be difficult to clean around exposed element, metal ceiling is OK to wipe over baked on residue may stain. Over time may cause residue to burn on and cause the unit to expel unpleasant odours and smoke during use.
  • Cooling fan continues to run after cooking time ends (approx. 20secs), can be annoying if you need to wait to restart.
  • Removable non-stick coated grill plate may need soaking if food baked on.
  • Fairly basic instructions. No recipes, limited cooking guide.
