  • Very good positioning of burners – large burner and simmer burner are positioned at the front.

Bad points

Bad Points

  • Black enamel cooktop can show smudges.
  • Only OK cooktop stability for a small pan or coffee pot – no small trivet supplied.
  • Cooktop controls have no cross bar and limited grip.
  • Possible that number settings around control dials will fade over time.
  • Grill rack / shelf has stoppers but does not prevent the shelf from being accidentally pulled out.
  • Grill rack rolls out fairly loosely.
  • No separate grill rack.
  • No shield guard in front of grill element – grill element is positioned low and is easy to come in contact with skin.
  • Catalytic liner on oven back wall only.
  • Gap between glass and oven door can trap condensation.
  • No grip on oven control dials.
  • Oven function symbols are small – may need to refer to manual initially.
  • Oven temperature control dial may not be accurate.
  • Oven door can slam shut when closing.
  • Oven shelves have stoppers that do not prevent the shelf from being accidentally pulled out.
  • Oven shelves move out loosely – far enough to manipulate the food.
