Very pleased with oven, instruction manual ould be better

Smart, practical and good value. Some of the functions could benefit from being a little more flexible.

This is my third Stoves oven and I am not impressed with this one. It takes 20 minutes to get to temperature. The clock is not visible unless you press on the control panel, not much use if you are at the other side of the room. It is not visible during cooking. You can only set the timer before setting the oven to come on, not during cooking as with previous models. This is my major gripe with it. Even the instruction book does not say this. I contacted Stoves and all the assistant could do was read from the manual that I had. I had done a lot of research on ovens and narrowed it down to 3. Chose this one as I had been happy with previous models. The description misrepresents the functions. Not happy!

We are still waiting to use ours - it looks lovely, but the door does not fully close and we have to wait for another 3 weeks (we got it 2 weeks ago) for a Stoves engineer. No joy trying to contact AO to send a replacement either. It’s the first time we’ve used AO and not impressed with the service.
