Rita, bourton on the water Occasional cook

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: oven quick to get heat up. grill controls are very practical being able to heat only half and control the heat level.
Bad points:: i bought the graphite design but it looks a bit boring. the oven door glass design doesn't look too practical as there seems to be a gap between the 2 panes and i'm concerned it will soon start tolook dirty.

Terry, Family cook

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Overall very easy to use and does the job.
Bad points:: The pan supports on the hob are lightweight and move around far too easily. They do not sit securely on the hob.
Handle for grill pan is very cheap but is functional.

Main heating type	Convection
Conventional ovens heat from the bottom so the top of the oven will be slightly hotter than the bottom. This is useful when you’re cooking lots of different dishes at a time. However, they do take a little longer than fan ovens to heat up. Convection (or fan) ovens circulate the air so that you get an even temperature throughout the oven. They are quicker to heat up which means they save on energy and time. Multifunction (convection or conventional) ovens give you the flexibility to use different methods of cooking. They usually have both fan and conventional settings as well as pizza settings that will only cook from the bottom, giving you a crispy pizza, or top-only cooking that is very useful for browning.
Type of self cleaning	Catalytic
Self-cleaning ovens can come with catalytic liners or pyrolytic programmes. Calalytic liners are the bumpy surfaces which line the inside walls of the oven. They absorb the food and grease and break it down so that the oven is easier to clean. Pyrolytic programmes run for a couple of hours and burn off all the grime in your oven at temperatures up to 500°C. As it gets so hot, the oven door usually locks so that all you need to do is sweep up the ash that’s left over at the end.
