Natalie, Horwich

+ For a first time buyer it was reasonably priced and easy to install and more than meets our requirements. Having two ovens worked excellent for our recent house warming!!

- The grill pan is quite small

faye, glasgow

+ The ovens have a very fast pre-heat time which is ideal when cooking for a family. They are a great size and with shelfs which can be adjusted to many heights its much more flexable than the usual two heights. So quick for cheese on toast a godsend, fabulous.

- Instructions weren't brilliant still struggle to remember what to do. Not enough is said about how to use the top and bottom ovens together. Was all geared up to always use both but seem to just stick to bottom oven.

+ Easy to follow instructions and easy to operate.

- The pot/pan supports on the gas hob are a bit slippy - you have to be careful how you position the pots if they are on the small side.

+ easy to install
they both look great
has a clock and self timer

- its electric, so got to get use to cooking with electric oven
both the hob and oven are quite noisy by comparison with my old freestanding gas cooker but the oven didn't have a fan, the hob has no excuse for being noisy

Product Features

Fuel	Electric
Construction	Built-in
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Width in mm	600

Hob	Ceramic
Heating Type of Main Oven	Fan
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. 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 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.
Self Cleaning	None
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.
Finish	Multi
Energy Efficiency	B
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient. The most efficient products can now be identified by new ‘A’ and ‘A*’ ratings.
Number of Cooking Zones	7
Height in mm	700
Cool Door	No
A cool door will make sure the door does not heat up as you’re cooking. A great feature if you have small children.
Oven Cavity	Double
Depth in mm	550
Non-tip Shelves	Yes
Non-tip shelves enable you to pull the shelves out, rather than reaching deep into the oven to take something out. As the name suggests, when you pull the shelves out, they don’t tip forwards.
Grill Function	Yes
The grill function is useful for browning and crisping up food.
Release Date	13 Jan 2005
The date the product was originally made available for purchase.
