cool and safe, thanks to a 22-blade tangential fan which circulates cold air outside the oven cavity and up through the glass door panels. Together with its special EverClean enamel surfaces, Smeg offers toil-free pyrolytic cleaning on all high-end models. With this process, the oven heats to 500°C, carbonising any grease and food residue which is then easily wiped away. Different cooking styles are also optimised by Smeg’s attention to the very latest technology. Smeg’s gas cooktop, for example, boasts a double control dual flame burner where the two parts can be used independently – the inner ring for slow cooking, the outer for fast cooking. Smeg has embraced the advanced induction cooking style, too. Here the cooking surface is only heated from contact with the vessel – for a precise, energy-efficient, safe cooking method. Available in most styles in sizes from 60cm to 150cm wide, Smeg electric cookers are a popular choice for renovations and new home builds.
