Bad points

Bad Points

  • Poor for grilling.
  • Extended zone on cooktop has limited use – may be suitable for a small oval Dutch oven.
  • No 'on' indicator light for all cooking zones.
  • Saucepan/pan larger than 21cm may not be efficient.
  • Spills can bake on and make cleaning difficult.
  • Stainless steel frame around cooktop may require extra cleaning attention due to smudges and fingerprints.
  • Labelling on cooktop controls relating to each burner can be confusing.
  • Need to bend over to identify which control relates to each zone, and the temperature settings.
  • Possible that grading labels around control dials will fade over time.
  • Grill rolls out loosely – not smooth.
  • Oven baking tray and shelves are difficult to clean in a domestic sink.
  • Gap between oven door and glass can trap condensation and spills.
  • Only OK to clean stainless steel – shows fingerprint marks and smudges.
  • Oven shelf supports are only OK to remove and clean, but can be tricky as catalytic liner falls off at the same time.
  • Labelling for oven controls may fade over time.
  • May need to refer to the manual initially to set the timers/clock.
  • Oven function symbols are small.
  • Oven only has fan force mode.
  • Temperature control dial may not be accurate.
  • Oven door is heavy.
  • Reflective glass and black border around oven viewing window restricts viewing.
  • Shelves have stoppers that do not prevent the shelves from being accidentally pulled out completely.
  • Very flimsy roasting tray – may warp when loaded and heated.
  • Relatively small baking volume.
