It is understood that this double oven will be bought by many diverse users so everything needs to be covered. The manual is detailed but desperately needs a simple quick start page for each oven. This what stopped a 5star rating.

Have not used all the features yet, but I will say that the main oven is difficult to use at first as the instructions are very complicated. The settings are not beside the knobs and you have to check the booklet. However, when we get the hang of it I am sure it will be fine! The lower oven is easy to use.

The performance of the oven is great but the controls and the timer alarm are terrible. It cooks very well, lots of options that have made my cooking much better. You will need to invest in a timer because the alarm is barely audible over the normal sound of the oven. Easy to miss if you are in another room or have the hob extractor fan running. The dough proving function is a little too hot and cant be changed. The controls for the main oven are really irritating to use but it isn't a deal breaker because the cooking performance is so good.

Oven only lasted 16th months - Smeg Warranty was useless took them a month and a half to authorize action after writing the oven off - numerous emails and tel calls as well as being without an Oven - no one really interested in helping!
