Cooking flexibility and performance
The double-oven layout is the main strength of this appliance. A 61-litre multifunction main oven is paired with a 42-litre top cavity, allowing separate dishes to be cooked at the same time. The supplied information describes the top cavity as supporting conventional cooking and variable grilling, while the main oven adds SurroundCook fan cooking and eight functions.
SurroundCook circulates heat around the main cavity to support more consistent results across shelves. The available information also states that convection cooking can reduce required cooking temperatures by up to 20%, while Fast Heat Up is intended to reduce preheating time.
Cleaning, controls and everyday use
Catalytic liners are designed to absorb grease during regular high-temperature use, with activation described at 220°C. This should make routine maintenance more manageable, although it does not remove the need for occasional attention to surfaces and accessories.
The EXPlore LED display with touch buttons provides access to cooking time, temperature and other settings. Retractable controls, a programmable timer and child lock add useful convenience, while the anti-fingerprint stainless-steel finish is intended to keep the exterior looking cleaner between wipes.
