Second Leisure Range Cooker
3/5
I like it in many ways compared to the older model we had. Burners are more powerful and the ovens do what they are suppose too and for the price the build quality is very good. But and its a big BUT, it has a thermostatically controlled fan that when either oven is hot it blows warm air out from below the knobs and dials.
I nice idea to keep the knobs cool from the ovens heat below or a real Heath Robinson solution to another problem?? I don't know why, but I do know when they are on its noisy. In a world of open plan kitchen dining/living this is not good. If you look hard enough this is mentioned in "the features we love" section of the spec. AO might love it but we don't.
And another thing.
It says the fan lowers the external temperature of the oven and stays on until cooking is complete. To me cooking is complete is when I turn the oven off not 20 mins later when the oven has cooled. Maybe the fan needs to stay on because the internal temperature of the range itself gets too hot?
The only cure to to sit down and eat your meal in peace and quiet is to turn off at the mains.
