Bad points

Bad Points

  • Some written labelling mostly symbols, may need to refer to the manual initially.
  • No viewing window.
  • Some stainless steel on exterior, shows smudges and requires extra attention when cleaning.
  • Large cooking drawer can be awkward to clean in a domestic sink.
  • Can be difficult to clean around exposed element, metal interior is ok to wipe over baked on residue may stain and be difficult to remove. Over time may cause residue to burn on and cause the unit to expel unpleasant odours and smoke during use.
  • Touch control display panel needs to be free from grease as it may not respond.
  • Drawer is reasonably heavy with load.
  • Relatively large unit with a uniform shape only OK to store, takes up bench space. May not fit easily into a kitchen cupboard. Best left out on a bench top. No handle to assist in lifting.
  • Removable cast grill plate may need soaking if there is baked on residue.
  • Instructions are difficult to comprehend due to key diagrams and symbols only.
