Cleaning Ease of cleaning with self-clean functions and by hand. Subscribe
Flexibility of space We test the flexibility of space inside ovens with joints of beef, chickens and turkeys on roasting trays to see whether the space provided, and the shelf arrangement, allow them to fit in. We then check whether the ovens are flexible enough to allow another roasting tray to be fitted in above. We carry out this test on both top and main ovens. Subscribe
Energy use
Energy use We simulate roasting a whole chicken by heating 2kg of bricks in the main oven for 1hr 40 mins. Electric conventional ovens are set to 200ºC, electric fan ovens are set to 170ºC and gas ovens at gas mark 6. This test was introduced for ovens tested from 2011. Subscribe
