"Lovely oven and gas. Can’t wait to to my next Sunday roast in it. Very stylish to look at. "
"Has a clean and classy look to it. Thanks to measuring before ordering fitted perfectly. As fairly new, still getting used to the feel of the oven, ( bakers will know what I mean ). It is more flexible than my last oven as I now have a small and large oven, to play with. It does mean that I am having to learning for the first time how to grill with electric ! Very different from Gas, a small wait for heat, and I quickly realise moving the grill position itself works better than trying to reduce the level of heat from the elements. It's settings are clear and straight forward, in the older style of numbering, rather than temperature , just a small thing to look out for."

"This model Stoves double gas oven was bought to replace our old Stoves double gas oven, which has given years of good satisfactory service.
Unfortunately, the grill pan for the top oven is cheaply made compared to our old one, is a tight fit in the top oven cavity and makes an unpleasant grating noise when slid in and out in use, has sharp edges and doesn’t come with a handle. We’ve put this grill pan in the recycling and use the old one. There are 4 height positions for the top oven’s single shelf.
The bottom oven has two (optional use) telescopic pull-out shelf rails and which is quite a good idea. There are 8 height positions for the bottom oven shelves of which there are two wire shelves supplied.
Both the top and the bottom ovens only have one light in each, and that’s mounted at the back of the oven which means it shines brightly in your face when you look into the oven but doesn’t illuminate the oven evenly or even very well, as did our old oven which had two lights in each side wall in each cavity. So, poorly thought out in this newer model.
The controls are very simple to use and are very basic – simply turn on and push the knob in to ignite the gas burners. There’s no automatic ignition as there was on our old oven, this may be a part of the fail-safe safety feature.
There is a “beep” alarm for minute timer, but no programming facility. The bright touch screen LED display shows the time in 12/24-hour mode, and is easily seen in bright daylight.
The volume of the alert “beeps” for the minute timer can be adjusted from 1 – 3. 3 being the loudest and is the default.
The electric grill control is simply a turn on/off. The grill takes 2.5 minutes to reach full temperature, but seems to be economical in use according to my power meter.
It’s a functional double gas oven with an electric grill, but it is evident that the quality of design isn’t the same quality compared to the older version which is a little disappointing.
Other than that, everything works ok.

"Had to call an engineer as the oven cut out after 10 minutes due to an incorrect door seal having been fitted. New seal successfully fitted by engineer and at the moment appears to be working as it should. "
