Two spacious and well lit ovens offering very good visibility even with the doors closed. Touch controls are easy to use and can be wiped over easily and child locked. The hob is quick to respond and has a wide choice of wattages and dual and triple zones. Curved frontage makes it deeper than some. Good baking and roasting results in the main and top ovens
