No protection on glass top edges, when you open the top you must be very careful or you it will bang against the wall.

If gas hob is on and lid accidentally is closed, the gas not only shuts off but the knob returns to the off position. What a great idea!!
-
When using the top oven, some heat is expelled through the front, which makes using the hob pretty hot work. Also the shelf in the top oven sometimes sticks but that may just be in my model.

I am not used to the grille being lower as our last oven, which we had had for 12 years, had an eye level grille so if you are using the grille at the same time as the oven it can sometimes be awkward to check the food in the oven when the grille is in use but that is something that we just need to get used to.
The shelves in the oven and grille do not slide out very smoothly and sometimes catch.

Really lovely looking oven for very decent price. I shopped around a lot and this came out tops. Great to cook on - very fast heat up on hobs. Good size with the two ovens and lovely to have a seperate grill. Brilliant child safety feature as the knobs don't turn when the glass top is down. Glass top is good as it gives an extra preparation surface when not cooking and helps keep the cooker clean. Oven doors have glass you can slide out for easy cleaning. I love it!

No light in ovens, nothing to stop oven shelves from coming out when you pull out trays. Control panel with the knobs on gets warm when the oven is on (but not so that you would burn yourself...) Takes a while for the bottom oven to heat up, but that's normal for gas...

If cooker already warm from previous use cannot relight, have to use matches. Used to eye level grill so grill door being open when in use is not good when toddlers are about. Takes longer to cook/toast in comparison to old cooker. Fan is really annoying when finished cooking. It goes on more than suggested 15 minutes so have taken to turning it off. Had to say goodbye to whistling kettle in order to put down glass lid. May seem to be a lot of points but am adjusting from old cooker and nevertheless am very pleased with the cooker overall.
