  • Start and stop buttons are not that obvious and not positioned well.

  • Exterior is mostly stainless steel and shows fingerprint marks. Extra attention required when cleaning.
  • No accessories for the oven such as baking tray.
  • Door becomes hot when using grill or convection care needs to be taken so the door does not close on oneself.
