Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Super-fast boiling
The two front elements can boil water faster than practically any electric or gas cooktop. They can boil 1.5 liters of water in only three minutes, which makes this range perfect for cooking pasta or blanching vegetables quickly.
Pro Has true convection
The convection fan has a heating element that provides more even temperatures and more efficient cooking compared to convection units that don't have such an element.
Pro Elegant handy LCD displays
Instead of marked levels around the control knob, this unit has LCDs on top of the knobs. This is a more elegant and convenient way to display the power levels.
Pro Can temporarily boost heating power
If you need to get something hot quickly, there is a boost function that provides extra power for 10 minutes.
Pro Has a Sabbath mode
The range has a built-in Sabbath mode that allows it to be used during the Sabbath and Jewish holidays without breaking the traditions.
Pro Automatically converts cooking temperatures
The range automatically lowers the cooking temperatures when convection heating is used.
Pro Indicates hot surfaces
Each induction heater has an indicator that informs you whether the heating surface is hot or not.
Pro No direct heating of the cooktop surface
The cooktop of this range uses induction heating technology. The inductive coils heat up cookware without providing direct heat to the surface. After removing a pot or a pan, the surface will be warm due to the contact with hot cookware, but it will cool down quickly.
Pro Can store frequently used settings
The range has an option to save commonly used temperature and time settings, so you don’t need to set them up all the time.
Pro Rapid preheating
The oven and broiler preheat very quickly. For convection roasting, it doesn’t even need any preheating. Just put the meat in, and you are ready to go.
Pro Broiler distributes heat evenly
Since it provides a uniform heat distribution, when cooking with the broiler you can be sure that you will not end up with half of your food overcooked and the other half undercooked.
Pro You can keep your food warm using the warming drawer
You can keep your already cooked food warm by storing it in the oven's warming drawer, while rest of the food finishes cooking.
Pro One of the largest ovens
This oven's versatile rack system puts space to good use by allowing you to configure the stainless steel racks to seven different positions. It has 6.4 cu.ft of space, an advantage if you cook for a lot of people and make complex food that requires baking multiple ingredients.
Pro Matches the size of your cookware
The front burners have 'elements', 6" inner rings that are great for smaller pots and pans while 9" and 12" outer rings make room to heat larger cookware.
Pro Cooks frozen food fast
Traditional ovens must fully warm to the time listed on your food's package before you can actually put food inside. That's not the case with this oven, its Frozen Bake technology will automatically calculate the cook time for you after you input the type of food/preheat temp found in the food's package. The convection fan quickly heats the oven cavity, saving you time and eliminating the need to preheat the oven.
Pro Helps cook food evenly and quickly
Convection cooking helps you cook meals faster by using a fan to evenly distribute hot air throughout the oven's inside. The air blowing under, over and around your food helps it cook quickly and evenly. This is an advantage if you cook/bake for a lot of people and your food are always in huge batches.
Cons
Con Hard to find the right cookware position
It’s hard to line up cookware on the cooktop, since what marks the area where they should go are gray ‘X’ marks, which aren’t convenient at all.
Con Broiling is slow
The broiler gives very good results, but the process is too time-consuming.
Con You can't control the warming drawer's temperature
The warming drawers temperature can’t be changed nor can it be turned off.
Con Controls are awkwardly placed
The control panel and knobs are located at the back of the cooktop, so you have to reach your hands over pans and pots when you want to access them.
Con Uneven baking performance
The oven provides mixed results when baking. While it can bake large items, such as cakes, almost perfectly, it tends to burn thin items. When baking cookies, they come out uneven, indicating that heat isn’t distributed evenly.
Con Not compatible with all cookware
Induction technology will not work with all cookware. You may have to change some of your pans and pots.
Con No steam cleaning
This range only has a pyrolytic self-cleaning option. While pyrolytic cleaning is very effective, it isn’t recommended to use it too often, as it is harsh to the range itself.
Con Takes long to cool down
The stove stays hot for about an hour after you cook. This means you have to wait for it to cool down before you can properly clean the range top. You have exercise caution when wiping the stove top when it's hot.
Con Requires meticulous cleaning
The self-cleaning technology that uses water and low heat to help remove caked-on food from the bottom of the oven is not effective at all times. While it works to clean up the interior, you'd still need to scrub it by hand.
