DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU WANT TO USE THE OVEN. This can only be used as a microwave as, according to the engineer who came out to check, the oven function 'does now work like a normal oven'! It takes twice as long to reach the required temperature and then if you open the oven door the temperature drops dramatically (as shown by the engineer's thermometer) so you have to reheat again. We thought there was a fault on this but the engineer said no so guess what - we have been charged £70 to be told the oven is not fit for purpose. Hotpoint said to take it up with the seller - as it is obviously not their problem! Oh, and the control panel is difficult to read and overly complicated. We will never buy Hotpoint again.
