    I can't turn the fan off if I just want conventional zoned cooking (I need to home bake) and this is a pain- but again perhaps it is just me as as moved over from an all gas oven.
    It is annoying that I can't slow cook or bake gentler dishes.
    I noticed that some people had problems with their time ...

    Had the Smeg A42-2 for 5 years. When it was fitted the fitter (not smeg) bent the legs. Smeg replaced the side of the oven for no charge which was great excellent..

    I On 15th May 2003 I purchased a Smeg 70CM Mini Range and Hood at a cost of £1,350.00. Having looked at the Smeg official website and read Smeg's philosophy, I believed their appliances to be very reliable, extremely well built and felt confident I was making the right choice (see extract from ...
